Should we start to tinker with the human genome and alter our own biology?

SpaceX has started preparations for recovering International Space Station (ISS) astronauts during ocean touchdowns, conducting landing and patient loading rehearsals on their recovery ship GO Searcher.

NASA recently shared photos of the rehearsals on board GO Searcher, which has been upgraded with a medical treatment facility and a helipad in the center of the vessel.

SpaceX practiced how the helicopter will pick up astronauts and fly them to a nearby hospital, in case of a medical emergency.

Nanostraws could be a way to deliver molecules into many cells at once, which may one day improve gene therapy for cancer and other diseases.

These results substantially change the debate on whether cell-phone use is a cancer risk at all.

The studies were nearly two decades in the making.

Scientists have zeroed in on breast cancer cells’ most imminent danger lies in the spreading, which helps find new ways to prevent them.

Experts explained that the companies aren’t really doing science, so it’s not surprising that they produce different results.

A new study investigates the potential use of a virus against cancer. Researchers hope that the findings will be useful for different types of cancer.

The NAD+ Mouse Project has ended in a record-breaking amount raised for a research project so far on Lifespan.io. The campaign ended yesterday after having raised a total of $75,285 and smashing three stretch goals!.

An amazing 321 people backed the campaign and they will get to enjoy a range of great donor rewards and know that they have been a part of launching a great experiment. Thanks to their help the researchers will now be able to test if NMN has potential as an anti-aging drug.

We are both humbled and so very grateful for the generous support of the NAD mouse project. As the excitement and potential of the NAD longevity field continues to grow, we can’t wait to see what we learn and report to our supporters about what NMN can do. – Dr. David Sinclair
