I would not be so sure about that. They do not state which kind (or state) of T cells they target but it is not unlikely that they do not draw them from the blood but from bone marrow. May also be memory T cells ... This should also answer

On the risk that I may sound to much like from the ivory tower but doing something out of the blue is not more ethical (why should it?). But you may end paralyzed and need help by other people, very clever. And the amount people at home can

There is a fundamental difference. Natural Selection works on an individual basis, everyone tries to maximize the amount of his or her DNA in the world. In eugenics (and to a lesser degree in social selection) someone else (or the group) de

Not in this case as the data I described is on embargo. The problem is more general for all genomic data that has already been made public but were funding runs out after 5 years or so. I happend to chat to a postdoc the other day who is in

As I see it pretty much from inside, this is not a general problem but just the evolution of science, as we are able to determine more and more things which lead to better and better conclusions. The problem in what is cause and effect come

I wonder how someone like this can call themself an activist, when it is obvious that they have not even thought about it once. If you are truely a terrorist, it takes you a few hours to implement a one-time-pad solution that will be unbrea

He does not mention climate change at all. Germanys antinuclear movement is against nuclear reactors because it is still unclear what happens to the waste. Remind you that were are speaking of a country that is populated quite evenly, there

why would you do that? They need uncontaminated steel not uncontaminated ore. There is plenty of the latter on earth.

That is not the point. She is complaining that they were 5 to 10 person watching a TV show, another guy comes in and wants to change the channel, not even considering asking the other people why they watched something different that day. No

Tsunamis yes. But unfortunatly, quite a few studies have proven that the german nuclear reactors are susceptible to earth quakes, terrorists and floods. With almost no precautions taken, the big energy companies have noone to blame but them

Improvement in battery technology is relative. You do not need superlight lithium-something batteries for general energy storage. The only questions for such systems are price per kWh, life-time and somewhat good input/output ratios. B

Or you just use geocoordinates like everyone else. This project is aimed to make addresses more memorable for humans, machines do not have such a problem.

That's exactly the placebo effect. You think that you get a treatment and your body reacts to that

That question can be seen equivalent to asking "How many computers will we need in the future?" in the 1950s. Could be 5 could be the current 5 billion or how many we have to day. Maybe someone more involved can say more about it.

Well, in priniciple variant specific application has nothing to do with CRISPR, any genome alternation could be coupled to certain mechanisms that rely on reading out the specific traits of the targeted humans. Of course, the current develo

This is only the range of Aedes aegypti. Whether a particular strain of the mosquito can carry Zika remains to be seen (though quite likely) as Aedes aegypti is very heterogenous.

Sure, you can do it. Many things are available on Addgene or a friendly researcher might share genetic material. You still need lab equipment, so you need either a public science lab or quite a bit of money.

True, but then you update CPU, RAM and screen but stay with your 128 GB memory, 3 different batteries and infra-red camera you bought. It's not ideal but still better than now.

Some "fun" facts on that: - applying massive radiation (on plants) to increase the mutation rate does not count as GMO - modern Gene Editing like TALEN (and probably CRISPR soon) are currently being interpreted as non-GMO by the r

But again, that is only from your american perspective and under the assumption that he would have been treated fair if he had not leaked the "legal" stuff. Assume he had only revealed that the US spied illegaly on its own citizen

> If your position is unpopular with your friends, then it's because you think the law is more important than the entire society it's supposed to protect. I am shocked so many of you agree with this. If it is forbidden to kill

What is your problem here? He does not shut down WhatsApp in total or request info for US user or anything like that, only in Brazil. This does not affect you at all. If they do not obey the law in another country, they do not get access th

I may a.gree with that but still, just because you do not like a law you have to comply. You can try to change it but as long as it exists its law for everyone. You cannot say murder should be legal, therefore I am allowed to do it.

I totally agree (and at the same time assume that just the story he tell now, he probably just ignored it because he gets hundreds of emails a day. When he got the third he may have thought: I should say something before he spams me the who

Well, its just another example why the eSC = human argumentation is BS. A human is a fully developed nervous system, not some cells. Given some vectors, we could create iPS from pretty much any body cell and then probably a human from that

Again, no. Just because the result turned out okay, the way how it was done does not become good (or scientific). There is no reason why it could not have been done in two persons. And btw: applying it to herself is a PR stunt. Just like po

No. Pharmaceutical research does not and cannot work this way. Over the last few years, there has been much reasearch on molecular interactions. The current consensus is that everthing interacts with pretty much everthing at some point, it
