Scientists just built a delivery system that drops HEALTHY MITOCHONDRIA directly into sick cells — and it rescued dying neurons. As a medical school professor, I've argued for years that mitochondrial dysfunction sits at the root of chronic disease. This Nature paper moves the argument from theory to therapy. The system is MitoCatch. Built by Botond Roska's team at IOB Basel, it uses protein binders to target donor mitochondria to specific diseased cells. What they showed: - Donor mitochondria fuse with the native network and function normally - Rescued retinal ganglion cells from an LHON patient - Improved neuronal survival after optic nerve crush in mice - No detectable immune response If giving a cell fresh mitochondria rescues it from death, the broken mitochondria were the disease. Not a symptom. The cause. Parkinson's. Alzheimer's. Heart failure. Different labels. Same ground zero — the mitochondrion.

Another high-profile journalist getting interested in replacement, this time focused on Kind - a very positive piece. corememory.com/p/the-man-grow…







This is AWESOME... Some guy just sequenced his entire DNA genome on his kitchen table 🧬🧪 It tells his cancer risk, drug responses, what his kids will inherit, and which diseases are coming decades before the symptoms. Your genome is a 3.2 billion letter source code that predicts more about your health than any other test in existence. Almost no one has ever read their own. This used to require a hospital, a specialist, and a referral that most doctors won't write. The raw data would sit in a medical record you'd never see. Until now. Here's how he did it: → Rubbed a cheek swab against the inside of his mouth for 60 seconds → Extracted the DNA from his cells using a $150 kit → Prepped the DNA for sequencing with enzymes that attach a motor protein to each strand → Loaded the sample onto a nanopore device the size of a highlighter, plugged into a MacBook The device works by pulling single strands of DNA through holes one atom wide. As each letter passes through, it changes the electrical resistance in a tiny but measurable way. A neural network listens to the signal and reconstructs the sequence. 48 hours later, he had his full genome on his hard drive. The data never touched a server. No spit kit in the mail. No company owning his most sensitive biological information. No risk of the whole thing getting auctioned off in a bankruptcy, which is exactly what happened to 23andMe's 15 million customers earlier this year. AI is unlocking personal health in a way that has been impossible. We're still so early.



Die nächste Migrationskrise ist da. Nur dass jetzt nicht zu viele kommen, sondern zu viele abhauen. #ref=rss" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">spiegel.de/politik/deutsc…



A few years ago we basically cured cystic fibrosis.
