¿Qué tiene de malo manipular nuestra naturaleza? ¿Dónde están las líneas rojas, si las hay? El filósofo Michael Sandel trata de responder a esta pregunta a través de un ameno pero profundo repaso del campo de la bioética.

The Internet and smartphone are just the latest in a 250-year-long cycle of disruption that has continuously changed the way we live, the way we work, and the way we interact. The coming Augmented Age, however, promises a level of disruption, behavioral shifts, and changes that are unparalleled. While consumers today are camping outside of an Apple store waiting to be one of the first to score a new Apple Watch or iPhone, the next generation of wearables will be able to predict if we're likely to have a heart attack and recommend a course of action.

This concise book provides an introduction to Current Good Manufacturing Practices (aka cGMP). It introduces those who wish to work in regulated industries to GMP, highlighting key areas and practices. It is also a useful refresher for those with previous experience of cGMP.

En mayo de 2020, la publicación de un artículo científico sobre el rejuvenecimiento de ratas sacudió las bases de la comunidad que estudia la posibilidad de deshacer el envejecimiento. El artículo reportó un 54% de rejuvenecimiento epigenético medio de los animales, además de la reversión de decenas de marcadores bioquímicos de ratas viejas a valores típicos de ratas jóvenes. El principal responsable del desarrollo del tratamiento que ocasionó estos resultados fue el Dr. Harold Katcher, autor de La ilusión del conocimiento. La recepción al experimento por parte de la ...

Experience rejuvenation, healing, and peak performance with red light therapy – even if you've tried everything else and felt stuck. Are you overwhelmed by the myriad of health solutions out there, only to find they offer temporary relief or are too complex to follow? Are you searching for a way to boost performance, manage chronic pain, or achieve a youthful glow without invasive treatments? Perhaps you’re skeptical about non-traditional methods due to past disappointments. You’re not alone. Many adults, seniors, and athletes are on a similar quest for reliable, science-backed ...

In recent years, Biomedical Electronics and Measurement is being used extensively in Electronics measurements and Instrumentation, Medical and signal processing research and many other things.

In May 2020, the publication of a scientific paper on the rejuvenation of rats shook the foundations of the community that studies the possibility of undoing aging. An average epigenetic rejuvenation of 54% of the animals was reported in the article, in addition to the reversal of dozens of biochemical markers of old rats to values typical of young rats. The main developer of the treatment that led to these results was Dr. Harold Katcher, author of The Illusion of Knowledge. The reception of the specialized scientific community to the experiment was shock, with the phrase "it's too good to ...

Biochemical engineering integrates the principles of biology, chemistry, and engineering to develop processes for the large-scale production of valuable biochemicals. This interdisciplinary field plays a crucial role in industries such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, food and beverage, and environmental engineering. One of the fundamental aspects of biochemical engineering is fermentation, which involves the controlled growth of microorganisms like bacteria, yeast, or fungi to produce desired compounds.

From the Siberian permafrost to balmy California, scientists across the globe are working to resurrect all kinds of extinct animals, from ones that just left us to those that have been gone for many thousands of years. Their tools in this hunt are both fossils and cutting-edge genetic technologies. Some of these scientists are driven by sheer curiosity; others view the lost species as a powerful weapon in the fight to preserve rapidly changing ecosystems. It seems certain that these animals will walk the earth again, but what world will that give us? And is any of this a good idea?

No one in the world has published more research and in-depth analysis of the “COVID COUP” than the number one best-selling author in the field of “Emerging Viruses” —Dr. Leonard G. Horowitz. Here, this veteran Editor-in-Chief of Medical Veritas International Journal delivers scientific, geopolitical, and intelligence industry analysis revealing every aspect of the “plandemic” that has remained hidden, misrepresented, intentionally concealed, or dismissed as “conspiracy theory” by the “insiders” and their media who have imposed this deadly plague and terroristic ...

This audiobook, Tomorrow's Medicine, looks at some of the more fascinating areas where technology that could transform health is being developed, including cybernetics, regenerative medicine, nanotechnology, and genetically tailored treatments. Although many of these advances may not be ready to treat humans for many years, some of them may someday profoundly change - and extend - our lives. As exciting as the possibilities are to extend both the length and quality of life, immortality - or at least agelessness - may be forever out of our reach.

Authors Gordon Bell and Jim Gemmell tap their experiences with the MyLifeBits project at Microsoft Research for this extraordinary book. What if you could remember everything? With today’s technology, that notion becomes more realistic each day. Bell and Gemmell explain what it could all mean.

At a conference in Hong Kong in November 2018, Dr. He Jiankui announced that he had created the first genetically modified babies - twin girls named Lulu and Nana - sending shockwaves around the world. A year later, a Chinese court sentenced Dr. He to three years in prison for "illegal medical practice". As scientists elsewhere start to catch up with China's vast genetic research program, gene editing is fueling an innovation economy that threatens to widen racial and economic inequality. Fundamental questions about science, health, and social justice are at stake.

In Nature's Wild Ideas, Kristy Hamilton goes behind the scenes of some of our most unexpected innovations. She traverses frozen waterfalls, treks through cloudy forests, discovers nests in the Mojave desert, scours intertidal zones, and takes us to the deepest oceans and near volcanoes to introduce us to the animals and plants that have inspired everything from cargo routing systems to non-toxic glues, and the men and women who followed that first spark of "I wonder" all the way to its conclusion, sometimes against all odds.
