- New cell line lets researchers use CRISPR to reversibly switch off genes ()
‘CRISPR interference’ technique enables study of basic cell biology and disease in human stem cells The gene-editing technique known as CRISPR has become the darling of the laboratory world, most recently garnering its discoverers a Nobel Prize. The method is also taking early steps into the clinic as the basis for experimental gene therapies, for […]
- Be normal/natural ()
I don’t encourage this: https://gizmodo.com/mit-backs-away-from-startup-that-aims-to-preserve-your-1824312470 I agree with them to revive patients, but with a normal body very natural, ecologic-based.
- Statins and ICH: New Meta-Analysis ()
A new meta-analysis has concluded that the benefit of statin therapy in the prevention of ischemic stroke “greatly exceeds” the risk for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The meta-analysis was released on AAN.com as part of the 2020 American Academy of Neurology Science Highlights. The meeting, like many others, was cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Coauthor […]
- Promising therapy for cardiac regeneration ()
Ischemic heart disease (IHD) has maintained its rank as one of the worldwide leading causes of mortality outweighing the burden from all malignancies combined. When IHD develops, chronic myocardial ischemia, aggravated in some instances by periods of acute ischemia in the form of myocardial infarction, ensue. Damaged myocardium is replaced with a fibrotic scar that […]
- U of A researchers find way to speed up nerve regrowth ()
By ADRIANNA MacPHERSON A University of Alberta researcher has found a treatment that increases the speed of nerve regeneration by three to five times, which may one day lead to much better outcomes for trauma surgery patients. “We use the term ‘time is muscle,’” said Christine Webber, an associate professor in the U of A’s […]
- Human Brain Project launches ‘Google Earth’ of the brain ()
Scientists have developed an atlas of the brain which has the potential to improve research, treatment and surgery for conditions including epilepsy and cancer. As part of the new EBRAINS digital infrastructure of the European Human Brain Project, a team of scientists has developed a microstructure atlas of the brain. The atlas is said to […]
- Laser-welded sugar: Sweet way to 3D-print blood vessels ()
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/06/200629120203.htm Powdered sugar is the special ingredient in a Rice University recipe for mimicking the body’s intricate, branching blood vessels in lab-grown tissues. In research published today in the journal Nature Biomedical Engineering, Rice bioengineers showed they could keep densely packed cells alive for two weeks in relatively large constructs by creating complex blood vessel […]

- http://www.humanconnectomeproject.org/ ()
http://www.humanconnectomeproject.org/ https://www.humanconnectome.org/ Connectome is one of the biggest project for brain understanding. I think. I’m not sure but a lot of cryonicists are excited about it. I don’t know if the 2 links are related.

- Bioprinting whole bodies ()
There is a good industry currently about bioprinting organs, that might lead to bioprinting whole bodies. technology to build tissues and organs. Bioprinting precisely places cells, proteins, DNA, drug particles, growth factors and biologically active particles spatially to guide tissue generation and formation. It has been used extensively in the field of regenerative medicine. United […]
- Blood substitute ()
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_substitute We need the perfect blood, with a good immune system for us, up to date with the current humanity. In the cryonics process we remove blood, we will need to replace the cryoprotectant with a new blood. This tech will evolve too. Better for everyone. The blood substitute might include smart nanomachines.
- Scientists create first billion-atom biomolecular simulation ()
We just begin to simulate stuff, when computers will be cheaper, more powerful, smaller, simulation will help for disease treatments. We can’t simulate a whole body so. And we don’t have good scanners too. Not in 2020. Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory have created the largest simulation to date of an entire gene of […]
- U Scientists Scan World’s First 10.5-Tesla Human MRI Image ()
This kind of scanner will become cheaper, smarter, more accurate and maybe portable. This kind of scanner could help cryonics patients if we need to touch the cryonics patient. But I doubt it would allow to scan outside the dewars in metal, but maybe they will find a way. Some patients currently have peace maker […]
- The transmission electron microscope, This Microscope Shows the Quantum World in Crazy Detail ()
THE TRANSMISSION ELECTRON microscope was designed to break records. Using its beam of electrons, scientists have glimpsed many types of viruses for the first time. They’ve used it to study parts of biological cells like ribosomes and mitochondria. You can see individual atoms with it. But experts have recently unlocked new potential for the machine. “It’s been a […]
- Google researchers create AI that maps the brain’s neurons ()
Mapping could be used as scanning. This is good news for us that Google is interested to map our neurons, maybe one day this technology might be mature, cheap and could be applied to cryonics patient. Some features are open source but I don’t know if the technique is invasive or not. Cryonicists prefer not […]
- Researchers are developing a device that can edit brain activity ()
Not enough information from that for cryonics patients, we don’t know enough about our brains and this tool is not mature yet. But it is a beginning. But it has a lot of potential for cryonics patients. This is one of the aim of cryonics to edit brains. Neuroscientists at the University of California Berkeley […]
- New Breakthrough Allows Machines to Literally Predict the Behavior of Molecules ()
This tool could be used for cryonics patients, but right now this kind of tools are not supported for cryonics patients but we could be inspired by such a news. Though much noise has been made of what’s still to come from artificial intelligence (AI), the technology has already changed our daily lives. Machine […]
