How CRISPR Is Curing the Incurable – The Gene Editing Revolution Transforming Medicine

Як CRISPR лікує невиліковне — революція редагування генів, що змінює медицину

У 2012 році Дженніфер Дудна та Еммануель Шарпантьє опублікували знакову статтю, в якій показали, що CRISPR/Cas9 можна перепризначити для редагування ДНК у пробірках. У 2013 році лабораторії під керівництвом Фен Чжана продемонстрували, що CRISPR може редагувати гени всередині живих еукаріотичних клітин. У

Поза межами вакцин від COVID: mRNA-революція, що змінює медицину

Вакцини на основі мРНК проти COVID-19 досягли приблизно 94–95% ефективності у випробуваннях і до 2022 року було введено понад 13 мільярдів доз у всьому світі. мРНК-вакцини доставляють інкапсульовану в ліпідні наночастинки мРНК у цитоплазму, інструктуючи клітини виробляти вірусний антиген, а потім самознищуватися,

  • OpenAI on the Edge: Code Red, Massive Losses, and Google's Gemini Challenger
    December 7, 2025, 3:54 AM EST. OpenAI has sounded a 'code red' as its once-dominant lead in generative AI tightens against a fast-closing field. The company is burning money at a staggering pace, aiming to spend well over $1 trillion in coming years while quarterly losses mount and subscriptions lag behind demand. With Google's Gemini catching up to an estimated 800 million weekly ChatGPT users, investors question whether OpenAI can monetize its early AI edge. Deutsche Bank's Jim Reid warns of enormous losses through 2029, while Sensor Tower data shows only modest incremental user growth in ChatGPT compared with Google. Competition from open-source models in China, like DeepSeek, further complicates the path to profitability. In short, the AI race remains unpredictable and OpenAI's survival is increasingly in question.
  • Why Nintendo ditched the 'Nindies' name, according to former staffers
    December 7, 2025, 3:52 AM EST. Former Nintendo of America staffers reveal that the 'Nindies' label was axed not over indie fanfare but legal concerns. On a recent podcast, Kit Ellis and Krysta Yang explain that Nintendo's legal team warned that mixing the Nintendo brand with another word could dilute and jeopardize protection of the core brand. They compare it to how Nintendo avoids domain-brand hacks like Wiimote. Despite fan enthusiasm and merch, the risk of trademark disputes made the term untenable. The company has kept similar ideas in house, using internal terms like Nsite and Nbassador, which aren't public-facing. The takeaway: while developers loved Nindies, Nintendo prioritized brand integrity and future legal defensibility over public branding.
  • Apple exec exodus deepens as Johny Srouji weighs departure, Bloomberg reports
    December 7, 2025, 3:36 AM EST. Bloomberg reports that Apple's senior vice president of hardware technologies, Johny Srouji, is seriously considering leaving the company, potentially joining another employer. If true, his departure would add to a recent wave of executive exits at Apple, following retirements and new roles for leaders like John Giannandrea, Alan Dye, Kate Adams, and Lisa Jackson, with early 2026 as their target dates. Srouji, who joined Apple in 2008 to develop the first in-house SoC and later led the move to Apple silicon, has helped shape the company's hardware roadmap. The news arrives amid broader questions about Tim Cook's tenure, with mixed signals about a possible CEO transition versus reports from the Financial Times about accelerating succession plans. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has previously flagged Cook's continued leadership, tempering the narrative of an imminent exit.
  • Experts warn Starlink megaconstellation threatens crucial space observations
    December 7, 2025, 3:18 AM EST. Experts warn that Elon Musk's Starlink megaconstellation could create an orbital traffic jam that obscures key celestial targets. A Nature-published NASA study suggests that hundreds of miles-up satellite trails could impair up to a third of Hubble Space Telescope images, threatening searches for potentially hazardous asteroids and other science. The European ARRAKIHS telescope project projects high contamination-about 96%-though some researchers claim the impact may be closer to 1% due to camera angles. While SpaceX has said it would dim satellites, critics question whether any improvements were made. In addition to astronomy, satellite launches raise concerns about emissions and debris re-entry. Proponents argue satellites have practical value, from methane-leak detection to new launch techniques, underscoring the need for informed policy balancing exploration with the night sky.
  • Galaxy S26 to get major charging speed upgrade: 60W wired, 25W wireless
    December 7, 2025, 3:02 AM EST. Samsung's next flagship, the Galaxy S26, could ship with a groundbreaking 60W wired charging and a 25W wireless charging boost as part of a new Super Fast Charging 3.0 update. Leaks based on a One UI 8.5 build suggest the device will debut with Android 16 QPR2 and the trend toward more frequent Android updates. The discussion also covers Samsung's historical charging limits (around 45W wired, 15W wireless) and whether the faster speeds will close the gap with rivals. Separately, Android Authority's coverage touches on Android on PC, suggesting the ecosystem is expanding beyond phones. Overall, the upgrade could be a big deal for the US market and Android's charging landscape.
