FDA Approves First CRISPR Treatment in U.S.

It was only 11 years ago that scientists Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier first described a new way to edit genes, called CRISPR, in a scientific paper. The discovery is so game-changing that the pair earned the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2020 for how it could transform the way genetic diseases are treated. Now, on Dec. 8, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the very first treatment in the country based on the technology. In the medical world, that’s lightning speed. “It’s incredible,” says Doudna, professor of chemistry and molecular and cell biology at the University of California, Berkeley. “It’s so exciting to see how fast, and frankly how safely and effectively, this therapy is being rolled out in humans.”The U.K. had already approved the CRISPR treatment, ...

Animal: Mansi Taxak breaks silence on marital rape scene in Ranbir Kapoor film | Bollywood

Mansi Taxak seemingly defended the marital rape scene in her film Animal and said that Bobby Deol's character was in an 'unpredictable' mood after he learnt of his brother's death.

The White House’s Latest Move to Rein in Drug Prices

Each year, the U.S. government spends over $100 billion investing in the research and development of new technologies, with pharmaceutical companies being among the chief beneficiaries of this research. These public-private partnerships have led to some of the most important pharmaceutical developments of our time, including the COVID-19 vaccine. But with that partnership, however, there comes a catch. According to the Bayh–Dole Act, if a business organization takes funding from the federal government in order to develop a new product, the U.S. government has the right to “march in” and control who licenses the product. In the case of pharmaceutical companies, this means that the government can give the license to manufacture a patent-protected drug to a generic company, significantly brin...

Does COVID-19 Make You More Susceptible to Other Illnesses?

Respiratory disease season is in full swing, with influenza, RSV, and COVID-19 case counts rising in various parts of the U.S. Hospitals in some states are also reporting upticks in pediatric pneumonia diagnoses, which experts say seems to be unrelated to the recent spike of pneumonias reported in China.On the heels of last year’s severe flu and RSV reason, all this contagion has some people wondering if SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, may be to blame. Some studies suggest the virus leaves its mark on the immune system even after an acute illness passes, raising an important question: does having COVID-19 increase your risk of getting sick from other viruses in the future?“Any time that we get an infection, it changes us,” says Dr. David Smith, chief of infectious diseases and ...

How to see the Northern Lights, according to a professional aurora hunter

And while the auroras can sometimes be seen further south – even appearing over Stonehenge last month – you’ll maximise your chances by going as far north as you can, which in Europe means Norway. Its crenelated northern coast arches over the 69th parallel, comfortably located inside the auroral oval even when it’s at its weakest, so you don’t need unusual space weather conditions to see the lights, just clear skies. It’s less cloudy than Iceland and less frozen than neighbouring Finland, with the sea keeping temperatures higher. The coast is dotted with excellent places to observe the lights all the way round to Kirkenes, close to the Russian border, where I saw the aurora dance deep green right over the roof of the Snowhotel, popping out to catch the display between courses of Arctic cha...
