Move over CRISPR
Will epigenome editing be able to aid medical treatment by altering cells or altogether prevent diseases? Emily Baumgaertner Nunn Published 12.10.26, 09:01 AM istock.com/vchal Sourced by the Telegraph It is one of biology’s most ingenious rhythms — every baby is born young. No matter how much wear and tear their parents’ DNA accumulated over their lifetimes, reproduction erases the molecular scars, handing a clean slate to the next generation.

Argumentative? Blame it on the genes
Scientists find more than 1,000 genetic variants linked to personality traits Emily Baumgaertner Nunn Published 28.09.26, 10:00 AM istock.com/olemedia Sourced by the Telegraph Scientists have long known that personality is influenced by a host of factors — including DNA. The challenge has been deciphering the specific pathways through which a genetic blueprint nudges the direction of a person’s life.
Can Geneticists Fight Disease by Targeting ‘Nurture’ Instead of ‘Nature’?
It is one of biology’s most ingenious rhythms: Every baby is born young. No matter how much wear and tear their parents’ DNA accumulated over their lifetimes, reproduction erases the molecular scars, handing a clean slate to the next generation. Now, a new frontier in biotechnology aims to harness this natural mechanism to do something once thought impossible: scrub away the biological detritus of our own past.

The Best Genetic Risk Tools Don't Work Equally for Everyone
The National Institutes of Health recently announced a remarkable achievement: the world's largest database of human genomes, a repository of information that the agency says will help usher in a new era in personalized medicine. Scientists are already developing clinical tools and techniques based on genomic information gathered from the agency's All of Us program. One of the most promising? Polygenic risk scores.
Nine Arrested in Federal Crackdown on LA's Sex-Trafficking Corridor
LOS ANGELES -- Federal agents on Wednesday raided a section of Los Angeles that has become one of the country's most notorious child sex-trafficking corridors, arresting nine people on charges related to selling girls as young as 14 for sex. The operation took place near a 3.5-mile stretch of Figueroa Street known as "the Blade," where girls go from car to car in stilettos, soliciting customers for sex to reach their traffickers' nightly quotas.

Medical Cure or Designer Baby? A New Approach to Editing Embryos Ignites Debate.
(Science Times) When scientists at Columbia University announced this month that they had used a newer technology to precisely edit the genes of human embryos, they set the academic community ablaze with debate. Is this good news or bad? How fast will this move? And more philosophically: Where does medicine end and eugenics begin?

What Happens When Your Employer Knows the Diseases You Might Get?
(Science Times) Imagine this scenario: At a routine visit, your doctor administers a new genetic test that shows you have a hugely elevated risk of a heart attack in the future. You're in shape; you feel fine. But the prediction is in your DNA. The next day, you tell your employer that your doctor wants you to make some adjustments -- switch to a less physically taxing role, or maybe lower your stress levels in an effort to save your life. Can your boss legally deny you these accommodations?

What Is Methyl Methacrylate, the Chemical at the Center of the Crisis?
Methyl methacrylate, the highly flammable organic compound at the center of the chemical crisis in Garden Grove, California, is widely used to manufacture resins and acrylic plastics, such as Plexiglas. In liquid form, it has an acrid, fruity odor; after production, it is found in products like advertising signs, light fixtures, plumbing and latex paint. The chemical is also used to make bone cement for orthopedic procedures, as well as dental crowns and fillings.

Will Her Daughter Be Safe at Pali High After the Wildfire?
The evening before Pearl's senior year began, Michelle Villemaire watched her daughter unravel. The school hadn't released her class schedule yet, Pearl complained. She knew there were logistical complexities to operating a 2,400-student high school in a retrofitted department store, but couldn't they get just this one thing right? And how could it take so long to get back to their real campus?

Could an earthly fungus contaminate Mars? NASA may have found one hardy enough.
Researchers have identified a species of fungus that can survive radiation, extreme heat and simulated Martian soil, posing a new challenge for protocols intended to keep Mars pristine. Pop quiz: If you’re an astronaut trying to endure extreme conditions, where should you look for inspiration? Sandra Bullock in “Gravity”? Ryan Gosling in “Project Hail Mary”? Wrong. Try an asexual reproductive spore. One in particular, from a fungus called Aspergillus calidoustus, has proved itself almost unkillable.

Tindran una bona vida social? La resposta està en els pares
Un estudi publicat aquesta setmana a la revista JAMA Pediatrics ha revelat que mantenir una relació estreta i afectuosa amb la família durant l’educació secundària i el batxillerat s’associa amb diversos indicadors socials positius fins dues dècades més tard. Els investigadors van analitzar sis aspectes, com ara tenir tres o més amics íntims o socialitzar almenys un cop per setmana.
¿Quieres una buena vida social? Empieza con tus padres
La investigación halló que una relación cercana con los padres en la juventud se asocia con más amistades y mayor interacción social años después. Audio generado con IA de Google Un estudio que analizó a un grupo de personas por 20 años sugiere que las relaciones estrechas con los miembros de la familia durante la adolescencia pueden conducir a una nutrida red de amistades en la edad adulta. Para muchos adolescentes, no hay nada peor que pasar el rato con sus padres.
