I know you are going to like this book. While you may think you know something about DNA or you believe trying to find out about this seemingly difficult-to-understand part of life is just about impossible, you need to read this book that stays away from the long words of confusion and provides you with many of the secrets of this life giving, strange, wonderful, self-replicating, photonic messaging, creator and modifier of life. While our bodies have been invaded with more alien DNA from the Mitochondria than we have cells to support human DNA, we owe who we are, both physically and ...

What if intelligence wasn’t limited to humans? In this groundbreaking thought experiment, A.C. Zito explores the radical possibility of using CRISPR gene editing to uplift other species into full intelligence. Could dolphins, with their complex social structures, or octopuses, with their alien problem-solving minds, one day become humanoid partners in civilization? The Uplifted Species Hypothesis blends science, philosophy, and speculation to ask questions at the edge of biology and ethics: What would happen if we gave dolphins or octopuses human-level language? Would uplifted species ...

The introduction of new medicines has dramatically improved the quantity and quality of individual and public health, while contributing trillions of dollars to the global economy. In spite of these past successes - and indeed because of them - our ability to deliver new medicines may be quickly coming to an end. Moving from the 20th century to the present, A Prescription for Change reveals how changing business strategies combined with scientific hubris have altered the way new medicines are discovered, with dire implications for both health and the economy.

It began with a peculiar piece of laboratory science, a surgical union of old and young mice that suggested aging was a reversible process. This single discovery accelerated a multi-billion-dollar race to identify the rejuvenating factors hidden within the human bloodstream. The science of parabiosis moved from a biological curiosity to the forefront of the quest to manage humanity's most persistent medical challenge. The promise was a potential medical revolution, a new therapeutic path for the conditions of dementia and the frailty of old age. Yet this ambition immediately raised complex ...

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 ...

With our modern world plagued by a horde of epidemics, the ordinary folks continue to question the role of science in tackling deadly diseases and preventing future pandemics. Are our doctors and scientists sleeping on their job when billions of taxpayers' money goes into their coffers for disease research and drug development? How much longer should we continue to rely upon ineffective medical practices? We think we are prepared well enough until when the next pandemic strikes, it catches everyone off-guard and the world is plunged into unimaginable chaos. You see physicians, nurses, ...

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.
