Bleeding Edge & Game Changers
BLEEDING EDGE & GAME CHANGERS: QUICK LINKS:
Research Shows Massive Biomolecular Shifts occur in our 40s and 60s
According to a new Stanford Medicine study, time marches on predictably, but biological aging is anything but constant.—“We’re not just changing gradually over time; there are some really dramatic changes,” said Michael Snyder, PhD, professor of genetics and the study’s senior author. “It turns out the mid-40s is a time of dramatic change, as is the early 60s. And that’s true no matter what class of molecules you look at.”
Brain Tech Breakthrough Restores ALS Patient’s Ability to Speak
From computer mouse control to direct speech synthesis: Will physical intervention to repair paralysis be next?—“His ability to converse stems from 256 tiny electrodes that researchers from the University of California, Davis, implanted in his brain in an almost five-hour surgical procedure last summer.”
Oculomics: A Window into the Health of the Body
Alistair Bounds explores the power of the eye in screening for diseases and introduces advanced methods to detect chronic diseases—The human eye’s remarkable ability to adapt changing conditions relies on its unique biological complexity. This makes the eyes exceptionally sensitive to changes in body chemistry which precede the onset of conditions detectable during standard diagnostic screening.
