How lab-grown mini-retinas model human vision. In this episode, we show how iPSC-derived retinal organoids form layered photoreceptors, enable gene-editing tests (CRISPR, ASOs), and accelerate drug screening for inherited retinal diseases. Clear takeaways, visuals, and translational notes for bench and clinic. Educational only; not medical advice.

How FOXP3-defined Tregs prevent autoimmunity and shape therapy. We trace the discoveries by Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell, and Shimon Sakaguchi, unpack Treg biology and assays, and explore translational angles—from autoimmune disease and transplantation to cancer immunotherapy and engineered Tregs.

How do you turn genes on with CRISPR—without making a single cut? This episode breaks down dCas9-based activators (VP64, p300, SAM, VPR, SunTag), guide design near promoters/enhancers. We compare strengths, limits, and off-target risks. Clear takeaways on assays (qPCR, RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, reporter readouts), durability, and safety considerations for translational work.

How modern AI is rewiring the life-science stack—from target discovery to first-in-human. This episode unpacks foundation models for proteins/RNAs, generative chemistry, AI-guided ADMET/PK, phenotypic screening on organoids with high-content imaging, multi-omics integration, and self-driving labs with active learning. We compare what’s hype vs. real, walk through validation loops (prospective wet-lab tests, reproducibility, bias control), and map the path to clinic and regulation. Case studies highlight wins and failures—and where AI can truly compress timelines and costs.Educational content only; not medical advice

This episode spotlights Spaceflight-Associated Neuro-Ocular Syndrome (SANS)—a major risk where microgravity-driven fluid shifts raise eye/brain pressure, leading to optic nerve swelling and vision changes. Beyond SANS, we examine the full spectrum of space eye hazards: corneal abrasions from lunar/planetary dust, chemical burns, infections, and radiation effects.
