COVID-19: UAE treats 2000 virus patients with novel stem cell therapy – Gulf News

July 5th, 2020 8:45 am

Following an initial trial, researchers concluded that UAECell19 reduced the duration of hospitalisation from 22 days to just six. Image Credit: iStock

Abu Dhab:The Abu Dhabi Stem Cell Centre (ADSCC) has now treated more than 2,000 patients suffering from COVID-19, with 1,200 already fully recovered from the effects of the virus.

ADSCC announced today that it had succeeded in ramping up the number of treatments from 73 in the initial clinical trials. The large increase was a result of a major effort by staff at the centre to treat as many people as possible, following the UAE Governments decision to make it available free of charge to all moderate-to-high risk COVID-19 patients in the country.

The Governments decision came after the treatment, branded UAECell19, demonstrated efficacy and an impressive safety profile was reflected in the absence of significant changes in adverse events reported, absence of any unexpected serious reactions (such as anaphylaxis, allergic reactions or sudden death) and an absence of any lung complications as determined by radiological exams from inhalation of the nebulised product.

A team of doctors and researchers at ADSCC, led by Dr Yendry Ventura, announced in May that they had developed a new treatment for COVID-19 patients. UAECell19, an autologous stem cell-based therapy, appears to help the body fight the virus and makes the virus less harmful.

Quicker recovery

Following an initial trial, researchers were able to conclude that UAECell19 reduced the duration of hospitalisation from 22 days to just six, when compared to patients who had received standard treatment.

Further analyses revealed that patients treated with the stem cells were 3.1 times more likely to recover in less than seven days than those treated with standard therapy, and 67 per cent of the patients who received stem celltreatment owed this recovery to the new treatment.

ADSCC has since secured intellectual property rights protection for UAECell19, which opens the way for the treatment to be shared widely so more patients can benefit from it.

ADSCC said researchers are at various stages of investigative efforts to establish effectiveness (Phase 3 trial), optimal efficacy of dosageand efficacy to treat other respiratory diseases such asthma, COPDand cystic fibrosis.

Farrah Fawcett Glimpse into Life and Final Days of the Beloved ‘Charlie’s Angels’ Star – AmoMama

July 5th, 2020 8:45 am

Farrah Fawcett became an actress known for her beauty andcompassionate nature. As June 25 marked the 11th anniversary of her passing, we looked at memorable moments in her career - from that swimsuit poster to her role in "Charlie's Angels."

At the age of 62, Farrah Fawcett passed away on June 25, 2009, in Santa Monica, California. While her death came on the same day as Michael Jackson's passing, it brought her battle with cancer to a final close.

Her final days, Fawcett spent worried about her family -her son, Redmond, in particular. Fawcett shared Redmond with Ryan O'Neal with whom she had a complicated relationship, and his bumpy road down the wrong path heightened her protective instinct.

Fawcett's close friend Mela Murphy, who stayed by her side at St. John's Health Center until she died, recalled the actress's final moments to PEOPLE and said:

She was saying his name, Redmond.' That was the last thing she said.I told her Id take care of him, that Ill always be there for him."

The actress died a few hours later after what Jaclyn Smith, Fawcett's co-star in "Charlie's Angels," called a "relentless fight" against anal cancer.

Following her first cancer diagnosis in 2006, Fawcett founded The Farrah Fawcett Foundation in aid of HPV-related cancer research after she got declared cancer-free in February 2007.

But the status was short-lived, asa routine check-up three months later revealed a small malignant polyp. Fawcett went to Germany to undergo experimental stem-cell treatment, but sadly it didn't have the results they hoped on.

However, Fawcett remained steadfast in her battle against the disease, one her partner Ryan O'Neal knew about from first-hand experience.

O'Neal and Fawcett initially separated in 1997 after almost two decades together. But when doctors told O'Neal in 2001 that he had leukemia, they reconciled until she died in 2009.

During her acting career, Fawcett earned 10 award wins and 23 nominations, and it includes her role in "Charlie's Angels." Then there is that unforgettablered swimsuit Fawcett posedin during 1976.It sold12 million copies and becamethebest-selling poster of all time.

The poster launched Farrah Fawcett into stardom since she had only done small roles and television commercials up until that point.

Fawcett had even remained under the radar with roles in series such as "I Dream of Jeannie," "The Flying Nun," and a recurring role in "Harry O" when she decided to accept the poster deal.

Why Fewer Kids Are Dying In Hot Cars — And Why Number May Spike – Patch.com

July 5th, 2020 8:45 am

The temperature reached 90 degrees in Harrah, Oklahoma, on a June day two years ago when 50-year-old Alanna Jean Orr went into the Kickapoo Casino in what turned out to be a gamble with the life of her 5-year-old grandson.

She'd left him locked in her car parked under the glaring sun and fed the slot machines for six hours. When she finally did return, the grandson, Maddox Ryan Durbin, was dead. His grandmother was soon the defendant in a federal felony murder case.

Orr pleaded guilty and was sentenced last month to 17 years in prison.

It sometimes happens that way that kids perish in steaming hot cars, where interior temperature can become deadly within 10 minutes because they're deliberately left alone while a parent or caregiver does something else.

But not most of the time.

Most of the time, parents accidentally kill their babies in a tragic collision of tightly packed schedules, changed routines and lack of sleep. Their parents simply forget they were in the back seat a phenomenon that, unfathomable as it may seem, is backed by real science.

Since 1998, 54 percent of the 853 pediatric hot car deaths were accidental, according to federal safety statistics. Another 25 percent of the kids who died managed to lock themselves in cars when their parents turned their backs. People who intentionally left children in cars, as Orr in Oklahoma did two years ago, represent 19 percent of cases.

But something different is happening this year, and it could be an "unintended consequence" of coronavirus stay-at-home orders, says Jan Null, a San Jose State University research meteorologist and adjunct professor.

That unintended consequence is relatively good news: Usually, this time of year, nearly 20 kids would have died from being left in hot cars.

This year, the number is six.

Null who keeps a running registry of pediatric vehicular heatstroke deaths on his website, noheatstroke.org, also has a warning: As more people return to work with disrupted schedules, that number could spike.

"It's hard to prove a negative," Null says, but the supposition among agencies and organizations working to stem hot car deaths is that people are staying home more and haven't made the abrupt routine changes that can lead to what's been described as "forgotten baby syndrome."

Six kids have died of vehicular heatstroke this year; last year at this time, three times as many kids had died in hot cars.

"Usually, there would be eight to 10 by June 15," says Janette Fennell, a Philadelphia woman who founded and heads Kids and Cars, an advocacy group leading the call for automakers to install smart technology to alert drivers of passengers left in vehicles.

An average of 39 kids a year die in hot cars but 2019 and 2018 were record years with 53 and 54 hot car deaths, respectively.

In three of the hot car deaths this year, including a double fatality in Oklahoma, children locked themselves in cars during play, a circumstance Null says warrants more focus by child safety advocates given the number who perish in that way in a typical year.

Null worries that could happen more during the pandemic as parents do their jobs from home, juggling their professional responsibilities with teaching at home during the regular school year and, now that kids are on summer break, trying to find child care. That increases the imperative to make sure cars are locked and key fobs are tucked safely out of kids' reach.

"Teach them cars are not playhouses," he says. "If a child is missing, check the pool first, but next check all the cars, including trunks and foot well areas, places they can die in a short time. If they're hiding in the back yard or a closet, they're in trouble, but they're not dead."

The other three hot car deaths in 2020 appear to involve children who were accidentally forgotten, according to news reports.

Their parents forgot them?

How is that possible?

In many cases, a parent completely loses awareness that the child is in the car, according to David Diamond, professor of psychology, molecular pharmacology and physiology at the University of South Florida, who has studied the hot car death phenomenon for 15 years.

His research shows parents can forget their kids are in the car as a result of competition among the brain's memory systems.

"Memory is a machine," Diamond told The Washington Post in its 2010 Pulitzer Prize-winning piece examining the phenomenon of hot car deaths, "and it is not flawless. Our conscious mind prioritizes things by importance, but on a cellular level, our memory does not. If you're capable of forgetting your cell phone, you are potentially capable of forgetting your child."

Parents across the socioeconomic spectrum forget their kids in the back seat, according to The Post report, which examined the cases of parents criminally charged in their children's deaths.

Read the full story on The Washington Post: Fatal Distraction: Forgetting A Child In The Back Seat Of A Car Is A Horrifying Mistake. Is It A Crime?

"The quality of prior parental care seems to be irrelevant," Diamond told The Post. "The important factors that keep showing up involve a combination of stress, emotion, lack of sleep and change in routine, where the basal ganglia is trying to do what it's supposed to do, and the conscious mind is too weakened to resist. What happens is that the memory circuits in a vulnerable hippocampus literally get overwritten, like with a computer program. Unless the memory circuit is rebooted such as if the child cries, or, you know, if the wife mentions the child in the back it can entirely disappear."

Some parents who accidentally forgot their children in the back seat were acquitted. Most faced public vilification. All face a lifetime of grief and guilt.

No one thought parents would be saddled with such heartache in the early 1990s when car safety experts recommended rear-facing child seats in the back of the car to reduce the potential for injury or death to children when front passenger-side airbags deployed.

Fennell, the Kids and Cars founder, and other child safety advocates, have called on Congress to direct the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to require new vehicles to be equipped with systems that detect the presence of a child or other occupant left alone in a vehicle and issue warnings to prevent vehicular heatstroke.

Last month, U.S. Reps. Jan Schakowsky of Illinois and Frank Pallone Jr. of New Jersey announced they were including the recommended changes in House Resolution 2, known as the Moving Forward Act.

Separate bills to require automakers to install technology to warn parents their kids are in the back seat are moving through the House and Senate.

"Even if a person is out of position in a seat, the technology can easily sense that because it already knows who's in the car," Fennell says. "If a baby's all alone, all sorts of alarms will go off."

Both Fennell and Null, the meteorologist, worry about what could happen when the pandemic ends and people return to their normal routines after what is a prolonged period of stress for Americans.

"We are extremely worried about that," Fennell says. "The No 1 indicator for a child being left alone in a car is a change in routine. We don't have any normal anymore. Maybe every day will be seen somewhat as a change in routine."

Adds Null: "Are people more stressed and are their routines so disrupted they don't know whether they're coming or going? What will the end of the year look like with all this confusion in parents' lives? It's a whole new landscape."

According to Null's research, cars can heat up quickly, even on mild days. For example:

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration offers some tips for parents:

IHS Pets: Bringing Cell And Gene Therapy To Cats, Dogs & Horses – Anti Aging News

July 5th, 2020 8:44 am

Integrated Health System is bringing cell and gene therapy to cats, dogs, and horses. Recently IHS Pets has helped a paralyzed dog with a spinal cord injury to walk again after it was treated with experimental PRP and prolotherapy. Click here to see the video.

Telomeres

Aging is the root of virtually every complex noncommunicable disease in humans and animals. Telomeres are the protective end caps on the ends of our chromosomes, they are as important for the health of both humans and our pets, and they play roles in longevity.

One of the contributing factors in the lifespan in dog breeds is telomere length. As in humans researchers have found that telomere length is a strong predictor of average life span among 15 different breeds consistent with telomeres playing a role in life span determination. Dogs lose telomeric DNA ~10-fold faster than humans, which is similar to the ratio of average life spans between these species. As such telomerase therapy may be beneficial to pets as well as their human caretakers.

Telomerase gene therapy has been shown to extend lifespan in animals, this therapy may help to increase bone mineral density, improve motor performance, improve metabolism, and improve brain function.

Follistatin

The loss of muscle mass with age is just as problematic for animals as it is to humans; in cats for instance a study showed that for each 100g loss of lean body mass increased the risk of death by 20%. This is typically accompanied by frailty, and it is a contributing factor to metabolic syndrome, diabetes, heart disease, and overall mortality.

Diet and exercise have been shown to pay key roles in keeping pets healthy, but the loss of muscle mass is unavoidable without an effective intervention. Enter follistatin: myostatin blocks muscle growth, when it is inhibited then follistatin is able to let muscles grow freely to stop them from wasting away.

Follistatin gene therapy has been shown to be safe and effective in animals, this therapy may help to protect against frailty, increase muscle density, increase strength, and increase endurance.

Klotho: The Queen of Anti-Aging Proteins

1 in 3 cats will suffer from renal disease, but these numbers are under scrutiny with some suggesting that estimate may be too conservative. Chronic kidney failure can occur gradually over months or years, and it is one of the most common conditions affecting older cats with most cases progressing over time worsening the disease.

Klotho is known to play a significant role in the development of chronic kidney disease, and researchers are now turning to its broader role in the anging process as a whole; such as induces expression with gene therapy in mice has been shown to extend lifespan by targeting many of the same pathways as caloric restriction. Blocking Klotho has been shown to cause premature aging.

Klotho also helps to protect the brain, and contributes to more differences in intelligence than any one single gene. Research from the University of California has shown it to protect the brains of mice and improve brain function within 4 hours; and this result included young mice, old mice, and those that were models of Alzheimers disease.

In addition Klotho also plays a critical role in the inflammaging process. Inflammaging is the long term result of the chronic physiological stimulation of the innate immune system which can become damaging during the aging process.

Circulating levels of Kloto decreases with age, this decrease is associated with an increased risk of age related disease. Gene therapy with Klotho has been shown to increase lifespan in animal models, and it may improve kidney function, brain function, clear damage caused by oxidative stress, and protect against cardiovascular disease.

With the remarkable progress being made in genetics, gene therapy may play increasingly prominent and transformative roles in medicine for both humans and animals due to the potential to treat diseases and congenital disorders.

Pets can be an important part of life, they calm us, make us laugh, and create a bond of unconditional love. The company does note that all therapies are experimental, they are not approved by any regulatory body, and they make no claims that outcomes will be positive or beneficial.

IHS Pets is the veterinary wing of Integrated Health Systems, BioViva Sciences exclusive partner. IHS connects with doctors and patients who are interested in the power of gene therapy to pave the way to healthy aging and longevity.

GMOs: Pros and Cons, Backed by Evidence – Healthline

July 5th, 2020 8:42 am

GMOs, short for genetically modified organisms, are subject to a lot of controversy.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), GMO seeds are used to plant over 90% of all maize (corn), cotton, and soy grown in the United States, which means that many of the foods you eat likely contain GMOs (1).

Although most notable organizations and research suggest that GMO foods are safe and sustainable, some people claim they may harm your health and the environment.

This article helps explain what GMOs are, provides a balanced explanation of their pros and cons, and gives guidance on how to identify GMO foods.

GMO, which stands for genetically modified organism, refers to any organism whose DNA has been modified using genetic engineering technology.

In the food industry, GMO crops have had genes added to them for various reasons, such as improving their growth, nutritional content, sustainability, pest resistance, and ease of farming (2).

While its possible to naturally give foods desirable traits through selective breeding, this process takes many generations. Also, breeders may struggle to determine which genetic change has led to a new trait.

Genetic modification significantly accelerates this process by using scientific techniques that give the plant the specific desired trait.

For example, one of the most common GMO crops is Bt corn, which is genetically modified to produce the insecticide Bt toxin. By making this toxin, the corn is able to resist pests, reducing the need for pesticides (3).

GMO crops are incredibly common in the United States, with at least 90% of soy, cotton, and corn being grown through genetic techniques (4).

In fact, its estimated that up to 80% of foods in supermarkets contain ingredients that come from genetically modified crops.

While GMO crops make farming much easier, there is some concern around their potential effect on the environment and their safety for human consumption specifically surrounding illnesses and allergies (5).

However, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and USDA maintain that GMOs are safe for human and animal consumption (6).

GMOs are food items that have been made using genetic engineering techniques. They comprise 90% of soy, cotton, and corn grown in the United States and are deemed safe for human consumption.

GMO foods may offer several advantages to the grower and consumer.

For starters, many GMO crops have been genetically modified to express a gene that protects them against pests and insects.

For example, the Bt gene is commonly genetically engineered into crops like corn, cotton, and soybeans. It comes from a naturally occurring bacteria known as Bacillus thuringiensis.

This gene produces a protein that is toxic to several pests and insects, which gives the GMO plants a natural resistance. As such, the GMO crops dont need to be exposed to harmful pesticides as often (7).

In fact, an analysis of 147 studies from 2014 found that GMO technology has reduced chemical pesticide use by 37% and increased crop yields by 22% (8).

Other GMO crops have been modified with genes that help them survive stressful conditions, such as droughts, and resist diseases like blights, resulting in a higher yield for farmers (9, 10, 11).

Together, these factors help lower the costs for the farmers and consumers because it allows a greater crop yield and growth through harsher conditions.

Additionally, genetic modification can increase the nutritional value of foods. For example, rice high in beta carotene, also called golden rice, was developed to help prevent blindness in regions where local diets are chronically deficient in vitamin A (12).

Moreover, genetic modification may be used simply to enhance the flavor and appearance of foods, such as the non-browning apple (13).

In addition, current research suggests that GMO foods are safe for consumption (14).

GMO foods are easier and less costly for farmers to grow, which makes them cheaper for the consumer. GMO techniques may also enhance foods nutrients, flavor, and appearance.

Although current research suggests that GMO foods are safe, there is some concern around their long-term safety and environmental impact (14).

Here are some of the key concerns around GMO consumption.

There is some concern that GMO foods may trigger an allergic reaction.

This is because GMO foods contain foreign genes, so some people worry that they harbor genes from foods that may prompt an allergic reaction.

A study from the mid-1990s found that adding a protein from Brazil nuts to GMO soybeans could trigger an allergic reaction in people sensitive to Brazil nuts. However, after scientists discovered this, they quickly abandoned this GMO food (15).

Although allergy concerns are valid, there have been no reports of allergic reactions to GMO foods currently on the market.

According to the FDA, researchers who develop GMO foods run tests to ensure that allergens arent transferred from one food to another (16).

In addition, research has shown that GMO foods are no likelier to trigger allergies than their non-GMO counterparts (17).

Yet, if you have a soy allergy, both GMO and non-GMO soy products will prompt an allergic reaction.

Similarly, theres a common concern that GMO foods may aid the progression of cancers.

Because cancers are caused by DNA mutations, some people fear that eating foods with added genes may affect your DNA.

This worry may stem partly from an early mice study, which linked GMO intake to a higher risk of tumors and early death. However, this study was later retracted because it was poorly designed (18, 19, 20).

Currently, no human research ties GMO intake to cancers.

The American Cancer Society (ACS) has stated that theres no evidence to link GMO food intake to an increased or decreased risk of cancer (21).

All the same, no long-term human studies exist. Thus, more long-term human research is needed.

Although GMO crops are convenient for farmers, there are environmental concerns.

Most GMO crops are resistant to herbicides, such as Roundup. This means that farmers can use Roundup without fear of it harming their own crops.

However, a growing number of weeds have developed resistance to this herbicide over time. This has led to even more Roundup being sprayed on crops to kill the resistant weeds because they can affect the crop harvest (22, 23, 24).

Roundup and its active ingredient glyphosate are subject to controversy because animal and test-tube studies have linked them to various diseases (25, 26, 27).

Still, a review of multiple studies concluded that the low amounts of glyphosate present on GMO foods are safe for human consumption (28).

GMO crops also allow for fewer pesticide applications, which is a positive for the environment.

That said, more long-term human research is necessary.

The main concerns around GMOs involve allergies, cancer, and environmental issues all of which may affect the consumer. While current research suggests few risks, more long-term research is needed.

Although GMO foods appear safe for consumption, some people wish to avoid them. Still, this is difficult since most foods in your supermarket are made with ingredients from GMO crops.

GMO crops grown and sold in the United States include corn, soybean, canola, sugar beet, alfalfa, cotton, potatoes, papaya, summer squash, and a few apple varieties (29).

In the United States, no regulations currently mandate the labeling of GMO foods.

Yet, as of January 2022, the USDA will require food manufacturers to label all foods containing GMO ingredients (6).

That said, the labels wont say GMO but instead the term bioengineered food. It will display either as the USDA bioengineered food symbol, listed on or near the ingredients, or as a scannable code on the package with directions, such as Scan here for more information (6).

Presently, some foods may have a third-party Non-GMO project verified label, which indicates that the product contains no GMOs. However, this label is voluntary.

Its also worth noting that any food labeled 100% organic does not contain any GMO ingredients, because U.S. law prohibits this. However, if a product is simply labeled organic, it may contain some GMOs (30).

In the European Union (EU), foods with more than 0.9% GMO ingredients must list genetically modified or produced from genetically modified [name of food]. For foods without packaging, these words must be listed near the item, such as on the supermarket shelf (31).

Until the new regulations come into place in the United States, there is no clear way to tell if a food contains GMO ingredients.

However, you can try to avoid GMO foods by eating locally, as many small farms are unlikely to use GMO seeds. Alternatively, you can avoid foods that contain ingredients from the GMO crops listed above.

Until the 2022 USDA rule takes effect, its hard to determine which foods contain GMOs in the United States. You can avoid GMOs by limiting GMO ingredients, eating locally, looking for third-party non-GMO labels, or buying 100% organic.

GMOs are foods that have been modified using genetic techniques.

Most foods in your local supermarket contain GMO ingredients because theyre easier and more cost-effective for farmers, which makes them cheaper for the consumer.

In the United States, foods grown using GMO techniques include corn, soybean, canola, sugar beet, alfalfa, cotton, potatoes, papaya, summer squash, and a few varieties of apples.

Although current research suggests that GMO foods are safe for consumption, some people are concerned about their potential health effects. Due to a lack of long-term human studies, more research is needed.

In the United States, its currently not mandatory to label foods that contain GMOs. However, as of 2022, all foods that contain GMO ingredients must have the term bioengineered food somewhere on the packaging or a scannable code to show that it has GMO ingredients.

In college, Elon Musk thought these 5 things would change the world – CNBC

July 5th, 2020 8:42 am

The internet

Musk believed the internet, nascent in the '90s, would "fundamentally change humanity," he said on the podcast.

"I would not regard this as a profound insight but rather an obvious one," Musk said.

He compared the internet to the human nervous system: "If you didn't have a nervous system, you wouldn't know what's going on. Your fingers wouldn't know what's going on. Your toes wouldn't know what's going on. You'd have to do it by diffusion," he said.

"The way information used to work was by diffusion. One human would have to call another human or write them in a letter. [That was] extremely slow diffusion. And if you wanted access to books, and you did not have a library, you don't have it. That's it."

He knew the internet could change all that.

And while Musk only had minimal access to the internet at the time (only to use it for his physics studies, he said), he knew the internet would be a "fundamental and profound change."

"Now, you have access to all books instantly, and you can be in a remote mountaintop location and have access to all of humanity's information if you got a link to the internet," he said on the podcast. "Now suddenly, human organisms anywhere would have access to all the information instantly."

Musk believed "making life multi-planetary and making consciousness multi-planetary" would change the world, he said on the podcast.

As a child, Musk was influenced by a variety of science fiction booksand he believed he'd one day "[build] spaceships to extend the human species's reach," according tothe book"Elon Musk." (Musk previously said that theseven-book "Foundation" science fiction series by scientist and author Isaac Asimov, for example, was "fundamental to the creation of his aerospace company, SpaceX.")

On May 30, SpaceXsuccessfully launched two NASA astronautsinto orbit for the first time. It was a milestone forhuman spaceflightand got Musk one step closer to achievinghis Mars ambitions.

Just as a character in the 1997 movie Gattaca undergoes genetic engineering to pursue his dream of space travel, according to Musk, when he was younger he believed being able to change human genetics could change the world.

And it's happening today, with technology like Crispr, Musk said on the podcast.

"It will become normal, I think, to change the human genome for getting rid of diseases or propensity to various diseases," he said. "That's going to be like the first thing you'd want headed out. If you've got a situation where you're definitely going to die of some cancer at age 55, you'd prefer to have that edited out."

"There's the Gattaca sort-of extreme thing where it's not really edited out but it's edited in for various enhancements and that kind of thing," he said, "which probably will come too."

"I'm not arguing for or against it," Musk said. "I'm just saying it's more likely to come than not down the road."

As a teenager, Musk felt a "personal obligation" for the fate of mankind and felt inspired to create "cleaner energy technology" one day, according to the book"Elon Musk."

So he believed that sustainable energy would change the future.

"Sustainability, actually, was something that I thought was important before the environmental implications became as obvious as they are," he said on the podcast. "If you mine and burn hydrocarbons[compounds that form the basis of natural gas, oil and coal], then you're going to run out of them. It's not like mining metals.... We will never run out of metals, but we will run out of hydrocarbons."

He said the future may bring a carbon taxthat would raisethe cost of burning fossil fuels to mitigate climate change, which is a "no brainer."

In 2004, Musk invested in and became a co-founder ofelectric car companyTesla.Hebecame CEO in 2008. On Wednesday, Tesla became the world's most valuable automakerwhen the electric vehicle company's market capitalization surpassed Toyota's for the first time.

"AI is a really major one" too, Musk said on the podcast.

In 2019,at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai, Musk (who co-founded non-profit AI research lab OpenAIbut laterleft the company's board) said computers will "surpass us in every way," including scary things, likejob disruptionfrom robots or even apotentialAIracethatleadstoa third World War.

AI is "capable of vastly more than almost anyone knows and the rate of improvement is exponential," he saidhe said at the 2018 South by Southwest tech conference.

Musk also founded machine intelligence venture Neuralink, because he believes humans must merge with AI to avoid becoming irrelevant.

"We do want a close coupling between collective human intelligence and digital intelligence,"he said at the SXSW conference, "and Neuralink is trying to help in that regard by trying creating a high bandwidth interface between AI and the human brain."

Improve alignment of research policy and societal values – Science Magazine

Historically, scientific and engineering expertise has been key in shaping research and innovation (R&I) policies, with benefits presumed to accrue to society more broadly over time (1). But there is persistent and growing concern about whether and how ethical and societal values are integrated into R&I policies and governance, as we confront public disbelief in science and political suspicion toward evidence-based policy-making (2). Erosion of such a social contract with science limits the ability of democratic societies to deal with challenges presented by new, disruptive technologies, such as synthetic biology, nanotechnology, genetic engineering, automation and robotics, and artificial intelligence. Many policy efforts have emerged in response to such concerns, one prominent example being Europe's Eighth Framework Programme, Horizon 2020 (H2020), whose focus on Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) provides a case study for the translation of such normative perspectives into concrete policy action and implementation. Our analysis of this H2020 RRI approach suggests a lack of consistent integration of elements such as ethics, open access, open innovation, and public engagement. On the basis of our evaluation, we suggest possible pathways for strengthening efforts to deliver R&I policies that deepen mutually beneficial science and society relationships.

Minister ties smart farming to food security – The News International

July 5th, 2020 8:42 am

ISLAMABAD: Minister for National Food Security and Research Fakhar Imam on Saturday said the government was working hard in applying genetic engineering, crop diversification, and biotechnology in agriculture sector to ensure countrys food security.

The government is committed to double the income of the farmers and this can be achieved only if they use technology and opt for crop diversification, he said.

There is also a dire need to move towards precision agriculture technology, big data, and quality assurance to meet international quality parameters.

The minister said the government wanted to focus on agricultural research, education, and extension to promote export-focused production and that could not be avoided anymore as it was vital for agro-based industrial development.

He said the universities and research departments should be groomed and advanced technology be applied for the benefit of agriculture, adding, there was no doubt Pakistan was an agro-based country but we had not focused on it as we should have over the years.

We should continue to work together towards climate change resilient research, mechanisation in pulses cultivation and processing, improving seed replacement rate to fill the gap of technology adoption in the farming fields.

He said the government would take all-out measures to facilitate the farmers as development of the agriculture sector was among its priorities.

Agriculture is not only the basis for countrys economy, but it also ensures the supply chain of foods to the masses. That is why it is of paramount importance to focus on agriculture sector to avoid food security issues, the minister said.

He explained the agriculture sector was faced with multiple issues including water scarcity, low quality seeds and pesticides.

Moreover, the locust swarms and climate change, were also emerging threat for the sector as it had become a huge challenge for the crops the same way COVID-19 had become a threat to human life, Imam added.

Food availability will be ensured through increase in production of food items, he said, adding, Improved farm techniques will also be promoted and issues like land and water management will also be addressed.

The biotech IPO boom is becoming ‘historic’ as four more throw their hats in – Endpoints News

July 5th, 2020 8:42 am

Four more US biotechs filed to go public Friday as yet more companies clamber to get through a yawning IPO window and onto a market thats signaled its willingness to reward nearly any new drugmaker.

The new entrants are led by ALX Oncology and the biological analytics biotech Berkeley Lights, each of whom filed to raise $100 million. The autoimmune company Pandion Therapeutics also filed for $75 million, and Kiromic Biopharma, a tiny immuno-oncology startup based in San Antonio, filed for $25 million.

These companies will try to capitalize on a 2020 biotech IPO boom that the investment firm Renaissance Capital recently called historic. The spree began in January and, after a brief interlude when the pandemic first hit the US and Europe, has only picked up in the last two months. The 23 companies that have gone public averaged an 80% return on their offering price, according to Renaissance Capital numbers. Every single one priced above their midpoint or upsized their offering.

Unlike most of their fellow newly or would-be public biotechs, Berkeley Lights will enter the market with significant revenue on the books. The company doesnt make drugs but instead has built a digital cell biology platform that can analyze living cells from a variety of different dimensions and, in principal, accelerate drug development. Theyve partnered with Sanofi and Pfizer on antibody discovery and last year, signed a $150 million pact with Ginkgo Bioworks to help the synthetic biology unicorn advance its genetic engineering capabilities.

All told, the company earned $51 million in revenue last year. Unlike a drug developer, they have no cash earmarked for specific pipeline products, and said they will use proceeds for research, potential acquisitions and general corporate purposes.

For ALX Oncology, a successful offering would mean their second $100 million tranche of the year. In February, the California biotech raised $105 million to help advance its sole pipeline candidate: an antibody designed to target CD-47. Thats the same dont-eat-me signal targeted by Irv Weissmans Forty Seven Inc., the biotech Gilead paid $5 billion for in January. ALXs pitch is that their antibodys FC receptor is engineered to not attract macrophages, reducing toxicity. The biotech will use their proceeds to push the drug through its ongoinghead and neck squamous cell carcinomaand gastric cancer trial and begin new trials for it in acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome. A portion is also earmarked for CMC work.

Founded out of Polaris in 2018, Pandion Therapeutics was tapped last year for an up-to $800 million partnership to help a reorganizing Astellas develop antibodies for auto-immune disorders. That deal included $45 million upfront and the company also earned $80 million from a Series B in April. The new funding will be used to push their lead molecule through Phase I/II trials in ulcerative colitis while also backing preclinical research, particularly on a pair of antibodies meant to turn on the PD-1 checkpoint and tamp down the immune system.

Kiromic, meanwhile, is in part just trying to stay alive. With less than $2 million 5 million when a subsequent $3 million Series B is included in the bank at years end, they acknowledged in their S-1 that theres substantial doubt regarding the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. In this climate, though, thats worked out just fine for other companies. Applied Molecular Transport went publicin May with the same concerns. They ultimately raised $177 million.

Program Description

Biotechnology may be broadly defined as the application of principles of molecular and cell science in the production of biologically important or industrially useful products. Therefore, students in the Biotechnology major will

One very important strength of this major is the extensive laboratory experience each student receives. In the General option, students are very strongly encouraged to consider Cooperative Education with industry as an integral part of their curriculum. In addition to the General option in Biotechnology, the major also offers the Clinical Laboratory Science option.

Biotechnology is broadly defined as the application of principles of molecular and cell science to the production of biologically important or industrially useful products. Topics in biotechnology include genetic engineering, pharmaceutical development, and bio-manufacturing.

In order to be eligible for entrance to the Biotechnology major, a student must have:

For the Bachelor of Science degree in Biotechnology, a minimum of 125 credits is required:

15 of the 45 credits for General Education are included in the Requirements for the Major.This includes: 9 credits of GN courses; 6 credits of GQ courses.

Connecting career and curiosity, the General Education curriculum provides the opportunity for students to acquire transferable skills necessary to be successful in the future and to thrive while living in interconnected contexts. General Education aids students in developing intellectual curiosity, a strengthened ability to think, and a deeper sense of aesthetic appreciation. These are requirements for all baccalaureate students and are often partially incorporated into the requirements of a program. For additional information, see the General Education Requirements section of the Bulletin and consult your academic adviser.

The keystone symbol appears next to the title of any course that is designated as a General Education course. Program requirements may also satisfy General Education requirements and vary for each program.

All students enrolled in a college or the Division of Undergraduate Studies at University Park, and the World Campus are required to take 1 to 3 credits of the First-Year Seminar, as specified by their college First-Year Engagement Plan.

Other Penn State colleges and campuses may require the First-Year Seminar; colleges and campuses that do not require a First-Year Seminar provide students with a first-year engagement experience.

First-year baccalaureate students entering Penn State should consult their academic adviser for these requirements.

6 credits are required and may satisfy other requirements

3 credits required from the college of graduation and likely prescribed as part of major requirements.

A minimum of 120 degree credits must be earned for a baccalaureate degree. The requirements for some programs may exceed 120 credits. Students should consult with their college or department adviser for information on specific credit requirements.

Candidates must complete the degree requirements for their major and earn at least a 2.00 grade-point average for all courses completed within their degree program.

The college dean or campus chancellor and program faculty may require up to 24 credits of course work in the major to be taken at the location or in the college or program where the degree is earned. Credit used toward degree programs may need to be earned from a particular source or within time constraints (see Senate Policy 83-80). For more information, check the Suggested Academic Plan for your intended program.

To graduate with a B.S. degree in Biotechnology, a grade of C or better is required in 9 credits of any BIOTC, B M B, or MICRB 400-level course except BMB442, BMB443W, BMB445W, BMB448, BMB488, BMB496, MICRB421W, MICRB422, MICRB447.

To graduate, a student enrolled in the major must earn a grade of C or better in each course designated by the major as a C-required course, as specified by Senate Policy 82-44.

This option provides both the academic and clinical preparation for students interested in a career as a clinical laboratory scientist. Positions are found in hospital, physician-office, reference, industrial, and research laboratories. To complete baccalaureate degree requirements, students enter a ten-month clinical practicum (MICRB405A, MICRB405B, MICRB405C, MICRB405D, MICRB405E, MICRB405F) at an affiliate hospital for the senior year. (Current affiliations are with Mount Nittany Medical Center, State College and Pennsylvania Hospital, Philadelphia.) Students are recommended for a fixed number of hospital positions on a competitive basis. Cumulative grade-point average and hospital school admission requirements serve as criteria for recommendation. The B.S. degree is awarded at the first commencement following completion of the clinical practicum.

PROFESSOR Loida Escote-Carlson, in charge

The integrated B.S. in Biotechnology-Master of Biotechnology degree program is designed to enable qualified undergraduate students in the B.S. Biotechnology program to graduate in five years with the Master of Biotechnology degree. The requirements of the Master of Biotechnology degree are designed to prepare students for diverse career opportunities in the burgeoning biotechnology industry. The integrated B.S. Biotechnology-Master of Biotechnology program will enhance the preparation and qualifications of B.S. Biotechnology students seeking entry-level positions in biotechnology and related industries. At the same time, students develop a practical knowledge of the laboratory techniques that underlie current research in the life sciences that will serve as excellent preparation for those students in the Master of Biotechnology program who later decide to pursue further graduate degrees.

A maximum of 12 credits will be cross-counted towards the B.S. and Masters degrees, from the following courses:

Total credits required: 125GENERAL EDUCATION: 46 credits (15 of these are included in the REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MAJOR)REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MAJOR: 94-95 creditsPrescribed courses: 67 creditsAdditional courses: 6-9 creditsSupporting courses and related areas: 18-21 credits

Total credits required: 30 (18 of which must be from 500-level courses)Required courses: 16-19 creditsElectives: 11-14 credits

The objectives of the universitys academic advising program are to help advisees identify and achieve their academic goals, to promote their intellectual discovery, and to encourage students to take advantage of both in-and out-of class educational opportunities in order that they become self-directed learners and decision makers.

Both advisers and advisees share responsibility for making the advising relationship succeed. By encouraging their advisees to become engaged in their education, to meet their educational goals, and to develop the habit of learning, advisers assume a significant educational role. The advisees unit of enrollment will provide each advisee with a primary academic adviser, the information needed to plan the chosen program of study, and referrals to other specialized resources.
