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

  • AI-driven Weather Forecasting: Nvidia, Google & Microsoft Transform Predictions
    October 22, 2025, 9:42 AM EDT. AI is accelerating weather forecasting, delivering faster, more accurate predictions at a lower cost. Tech giants like Google, Microsoft and Nvidia are building models that reframe how forecasts inform daily decisions and long-term planning. Beyond telling you whether to step outside, forecasts help balance energy grids, optimize transport routes and reduce disaster mortality. As climate change intensifies extreme weather, timely, precise forecasts are essential for resilience. Continuous recalibration and advanced simulation are reshaping research and operations. The World Meteorological Organization notes that nearly 12,000 disasters linked to extreme weather, climate and water events occurred from 1970 to 2021, underscoring the importance of AI-driven forecasting.
  • EXCLUSIVE: FDA-Authorized AI-Powered Mammograms Predict Breast Cancer Risk
    October 22, 2025, 9:40 AM EDT. In a first for mammography, the AI platform Clairity Breast analyzes routine images to generate a risk score for developing breast cancer within the next five years. Approved by the FDA and rolling out to select U.S. hospitals, the system is trained on hundreds of thousands of mammograms to identify patterns that signal future risk. Experts call it a paradigm shift from a diagnostic to a predictive tool, but caution that a high risk score does not guarantee cancer and a low score does not rule it out. Patients with higher risk may need MRI or enhanced imaging, while average risk still follows regular screening.
  • Stocks in Pre-Market Action: Netflix Slumps on Earnings Miss as Tesla Prep for Q3 Results
    October 22, 2025, 9:38 AM EDT. Markets in premarket action wobbled as Netflix (NFLX) slid on an earnings miss. Attention shifted to Tesla (TSLA), which is set to report third-quarter results. Ahead of the opening bell, the Dow edged lower while S&P 500 futures moved in cautious territory, signaling investor jitters ahead of more earnings and guidance from big tech names.
  • Lake Technical College to Host Career TechXpo on November 3, 2025

Attendees also have a chance to win a $500 scholarship. Registration isn't required, but guests are encouraged to sign up in advance via the Eventbrite link.
  • Five Ways AI Can Help the Environment-even as It Uses Tremendous Energy
    October 22, 2025, 9:34 AM EDT. AI's growing footprint worries many, with data centers consuming about 1.5% of global electricity and projected growth by 2030. But researchers argue AI can also curb emissions by making buildings, grids, and transport more efficient. In buildings, AI can automate heating, cooling, and ventilation to cut energy use by 10-30% and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from homes and offices. It can optimize the charging of electric vehicles and other devices for off-peak times, helping grids run cleaner. Other benefits include monitoring HVAC maintenance to prevent costly failures and applying AI to oil, gas, and traffic systems to lower pollution. The net effect could offset AI's energy demand as processing efficiency improves, suggesting a path where AI drives energy efficiency and emissions reductions.
