Tiny DNA-based "nano transporters" can be programmed to treat cancer.



"The DNA-based nanotransporter developed by Alexis Vallée-Bélisle and his team can transport and deliver precise concentrations of drugs: in this picture, doxorubicin, a chemotherapeutic drug. These nanotransporters can also be attached to specific biomolecules to optimize drug distribution. Here, we see a nanotransporter (white) attached to albumin (pink) to maintain doxorubin (light blue) in blood circulation.

The reseachers can use the same transporters for transporting another DNA bites to absolute rightt positions.

The new DNA-based nano-transporters can chemically manipulate to treat cancer. DNA-based medicals can be artificial viruses that are slipping into the wanted cells. Then the DNA, which is programmed cell death can connect itself to the cancer cells or bacteria's genomes and order cancer cells or bacteria to die. 

But the same nanomachines can use to reprogram cells. And that thing makes those nanosystems even more interesting than just for a new type of medical work. Artificial viruses can use to reprogram stem cells. And those kinds of things can be the next-generation tools for injury treatments. 

The DNA that is transported to some cells can turn them into another one. There is the possibility to turn stem cells into things like neurons simply by switching their genome. But the problem in the case of injuries is that there is needed lots of stem cells. And that thing brings one of the most radical therapies to my mind. 

What if we would turn our cells into cancer cells and then return them to healthy cells? That kind of ability makes it possible to create lots of needed cells in a short period. The idea is that the victims' cells will turn into cancer cells in cell cultures. 

And then system replaces the DNA of those cells by using healthy DNA. These kinds of therapies are the next-generation tools for fixing things like neural damage. The problem with neural damage is memories or skills that those lost cells involved are gone. Those neurons can also reprogram before they are injected into brain tissue. 

The next-generation stem cell therapies can also use to produce neurons or sterile neurons for the microchip industry. Those neurons can communicate with microchips. And that makes it possible to create more powerful and flexible computer systems.

The LK-99 could be a fundamental advance even if it cannot reach superconductivity in 400K.

The next step in superconducting research is that LK-99 was not superconducting at room temperature. Or was it? The thing is that there is needed more research about that material. And even if it couldn't reach superconductivity in 400K that doesn't mean that material is not fundamental. And if LK-99 can maintain its superconductivity in 400K that means a fundamental breakthrough in superconducting technology.  The LK-99 can be hype or it can be the real thing. The thing is, anyway, that high-voltage cables and our electric networks are not turning superconducting before next summer. But if we can change the electric network to superconducting by using some reasonable material. That thing can be the next step in the environment. Superconductors decrease the need to produce electricity. But today cooling systems that need lots of energy are the thing that turn superconductors that need low temperatures non-practical for everyday use.  When the project begins there is lots of ent

Black holes, the speed of light, and gravitational background are things that are connecting the universe.

 Black holes, the speed of light, and gravitational background are things that are connecting the universe.  Black holes and gravitational waves: is black hole's singularity at so high energy level that energy travels in one direction in the form of a gravitational wave.  We normally say that black holes do not send radiation. And we are wrong. Black holes send gravitational waves. Gravitational waves are wave movement or radiation. And that means the black holes are bright gravitational objects.  If we can use water to illustrate the gravitational interaction we can say that gravitational waves push the surface tension out from the gravitational center. Then the other quantum fields push particles or objects into a black hole. The gravitational waves push energy out from the objects. And then the energy or quantum fields behind that object push them into the gravitational center.  The elementary particles are quantum fields or whisk-looking structures. If the gravitational wave is

The CEO of Open AI, Sam Altman said that AI development requires a similar organization as IAEA.

We know that there are many risks in AI development. And there must be something that puts people realize that these kinds of things are not jokes. The problem is how to take control of the AI development. If we think about international contracts regarding AI development. We must realize that there is a possibility that the contract that should limit AI development turns into another version of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. That treaty didn't ever deny the escalation of nuclear weapons. And there is a big possibility that the AI-limitation contracts follow the route of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.  The biggest problem with AI development is the new platforms that can run every complicated and effective code. That means the quantum computer-based neural networks can turn themselves more intelligent than humans. The AI has the ultimate ability to learn new things. And if it runs on the quantum-hybrid system that switches its state between binary and quantum states,
