30/04. Nossa linda e única neta (os outros três são homens) esteve de aniversário ontem, e hoje, domingo, celebramos a data com um almoço aqui em casa. Segue uma foto do encontro. Parabéns Júlia!
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 »
Skin cells transformation
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 CRSPR/Cas9
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./.../
Brain regeneration...
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 »
TED
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 »
Exercise intensity
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 »
Coração Fóssil
Cientistas encontram primeiro coração fossilizado 11 Fernando Cymbaluk Do UOL, em São Paulo 29/04/201606h00 - Divulgação/LNBIo [image: Imagem de tomografia do coração fossilizado feitas por laboratório de luz síncroton] Imagem de tomografia do coração fossilizado feitas por laboratório de luz síncroton Fósseis são vestígios de animais que viveram na Terra há muito tempo. O mais comum é encontrar ossadas e pegadas, que não são decompostas por bactérias. Descobrir um órgão completo de animal fossilizado pode trazer contribuições fundamentais para pesquisas como a do ... mais »
Human Being
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 »

No Religion
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. Around the world, when asked... mais »

Light for Chronic Pain
Shutting Off Chronic Pain With Light NEUROSCIENCE NEWSAPRIL 25, 2016 *Researchers use optogenetics to produce pain relief by shutting off neurons with light.* The potential of light as a non-invasive, highly-focused alternative to pain medication was made more apparent thanks to research conducted by scientists at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital of McGill University and the McGill University Health Centre. Researchers bred mice with a light-sensitive trait in peripheral neurons that were known to be responsible for pain transmission. The mice were genetically modified... mais »
