Summary
After trials by Sana Biotechnology, C-peptide levels increased, showing that their HIP technology enables pancreatic islet cell transplantation without the need for immunosuppression for Type 1 diabetes patients.
As a result, Sana has demonstrated that new insulin-producing cells, known as HIP technology, can “hide” from the immune system.
This could change how we treat type 1 diabetes by offering a long-term solution without daily insulin shots or risky immune-suppressing drugs.
A team of researchers at NYU discovered that non-neural cells, such as kidney cells, exposed to chemical signals showed “memory-like” responses.
It was discovered that the same molecular machinery that assists our brains in forming memories exists in regular body cells as well.
The discovery suggests that memory isn’t just a brain thing, but rather a fundamental feature of cellular biology.
Meta has decided to disband its fact-checking program and instead adopt a Community Notes model, lifting restrictions on free speech, which we see as a positive thing for free speech.
Bonus: Enron has resurrected and announced the “Enron Egg,” a portable nuclear reactor for families everywhere (it’s not real).
