Cell and Gene Therapy AI (CGTAI): How Artificial Intelligence and Gene Editing Could Transform Medicine
Discover how Cell and Gene Therapy AI (CGTAI), CRISPR gene editing and advanced cell therapies could transform treatments for autoimmune and genetic diseases.
How AI Is Changing Digital Marketing, Supporting Disabled People and Transforming Business
Discover how artificial intelligence is transforming digital marketing and business while supporting disabled people through accessibility, remote working and productivity tools. Learn why AI is more likely to change many jobs than replace humans entirely and why human judgement, creativity and empathy will remain essential.
Kamuvudine-9 and Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis research has produced an intriguing new development following the publication of a study involving an experimental medicine called kamuvudine-9, also known as K-9. Researchers have reported that K-9 was able not only to prevent further neurological deterioration in a laboratory model of multiple sclerosis but also to reverse existing paralysis and vision loss in mice.
AI Superintelligence Boom
Bernie Sanders is calling for a moratorium on AI data centres as concerns grow over energy use, water, jobs, privacy and AI safety. We examine what a moratorium means, developments in the UK and Scotland, NHS data and Palantir, and what the AI revolution could mean for disabled people.
Should Britain Ban Artificial Superintelligence Before It Exists?
More than 70 MPs and peers are urging action against artificial superintelligence, prompting debate over AI safety, human control, innovation and medical progress. Artificial intelligence has moved from an emerging technology debate to an issue of national and potentially global security.
Stem Cell Breakthrough: Could An Engineered Spinal Cord Help Paralysed People Walk Again?
Professor Tal Dvir and Tel Aviv University are developing personalised stem-cell spinal cord implants that restored walking in paralysed animals, with the first potential human treatment being prepared for 2027.
Intraocular Lens (IOL) Implants and Cataracts: What You Need to Know
Cataracts and intraocular lens (IOL) implants can affect people of any age, including after head trauma or autoimmune conditions. Learn about symptoms, lens movement, worst-case scenarios, and future vision technologies such as bionic lenses and artificial eyes.
Cataracts Aren’t Just an “Old Person’s Problem”
When most people hear the word cataracts, they picture someone in their 70s or 80s. I used to think the same, but at just 15 years old, I was diagnosed with cataracts in both eyes after noticing trouble with my vision. A year later, at 16, I underwent cataract removal surgery in my right eye.
Can Neurostimulation ‘Cure’ Depression? Exploring the Potential of Bio-Hacking Your Brain
While neurostimulation holds promise as a treatment for depression, it’s essential to approach the idea of “bio-hacking” with caution. More research is needed to determine the long-term effects and ideal usage of these methods. If you or someone you know is considering neurostimulation, it’s crucial to consult with a healthcare provider to ensure safe and effective treatment.
