Meu tio (*03/06/1914+05/06/1984) irmão de minha mãe Luiza e meu padrinho, médico em cidade do interior - Agudo - onde também moramos de 1939-1941, apresentou um trabalho num dos Congressos da AMRIGS em 1958, ano no qual me formei. Na época ele me mostrou o trabalho e os documentos ficaram comigo até poucos dias atrás, quando tive o prazer de passa-los para um de seus filhos Dr. Luiz Fernando que nos visitou junto com sua esposa e filha. Luiz Fernando e seu irmão Paulo (médico no Rio de Janeiro) estudavam como internos no colégio Santa Maria do qual eu também era aluno. Como eu era ma... mais »

Scientists turn skin cells into heart and brain cells using only drugs — no stem cells required Closer to the natural regeneration that happens in animals like newts and salamanders and no medical-safety and embryo concerns April 29, 2016 [image: Neurons created from chemically-induced neural stem cells. The cells were created from skin cells that were reprogrammed into neural stem cells using a cocktail of only nine chemicals. This is the first time cellular reprogramming has been accomplished without adding external genes to the cells. (credit: Mingliang Zhang, PhD, Gladstone Instit... mais »

RNA Tracking In Live Cells With CRISPR/Cas9 03/17/2016 [image: Rcas9] [image: Rcas9] The genetic code stored in DNA determines everything from the color of our eyes to our susceptibility to disease. This has motivated scientists to sequence the human genome and develop ways to alter the genetic code, but many diseases are linked to a different fundamental molecule: RNA./.../

Micro-needle insertion into hippocampus stimulates brain regeneration in animal model of AD Also improved performance on memory task and reduced beta-amyloid plaques (a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease) April 25, 2016 [image: micro-needel insertion in hippocampus ft] Sticking a needle into the hippocampus of mice modeled with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) improved performance on memory tasks, stimulated regenerative activity, and reduced β-amyloid plaques (a hallmark of AD). This area was chosen because the early and primary damage by AD appears to take place in the hippocampus. Until recen... mais »

How to read the genome and build a human being 15:28 minutes · TED2016 Secrets, disease and beauty are all written in the human genome, the complete set of genetic instructions needed to build a human being. Now, as scientist and entrepreneur Riccardo Sabatini shows us, we have the power to read this complex code, predicting things like height, eye color, age and even facial structure -- all from a vial of blood. And soon, Sabatini says, our new understanding of the genome will allow us to personalize treatments for diseases like cancer. We have the power to change life as we know it... mais »

Just 1 minute of intense exercise produces health benefits similar to 50 minutes of moderate exercise No time to exercise? Now you have no excuse. April 27, 2016 [image: fast bike ft] Researchers atMcMaster Universityhave found that a single minute of very intense exercise within a 10-minute session produces health benefits similar to those from 50 minutes of moderate-intensity continuous exercise. Brief bursts of intense exercise are remarkably effective, a very time-efficient workout strategy, according to Martin Gibala, a professor of kinesiology at McMaster and lead author on the s... mais »

The Augmented Human BeingA Conversation WithGeorge Church[3.30.16] *There are now 2000 gene therapies where you’ll take a little piece of engineered DNA, put it inside of a viral coat so all the viral genes are gone, and you can put in, say, a human gene or you can have nonviral delivery, but the important thing is that you’re delivering it either inside of the human or you’re taking cells out of the human and putting the DNA in and then putting them back in. But you can do very powerful things like curing inherited diseases, curing infectious diseases. ... mais »

The World's Newest Major Religion: No Religion As secularism grows, atheists and agnostics are trying to expand and diversify their ranks By Gabe Bullard PUBLISHED APRIL 22, 2016 You don’t usually think of churches as going out of business, but it happens. In March, driven by parishioner deaths and lack of interest, the U.K. Mennonites held their last collective service. It might seem easy to predict that plain-dressing Anabaptists—who follow a faith related to the Amish—would become irrelevant in the age of smartphones, but this is part of a larger trend.
