A biomedical company is set to begin experiments using stem cells to revive brain dead patients in a manner that troubles theologians, who question whether this attempt to preempt the Messianic resurrection of the dead should be permitted. One prominent rabbi takes it even further, pointing out the clear and obvious flaw that destines the project to failure. Bioquark, a biomedical startup based in Philadelphia, recently announced that they will begin experiments later this year on patients who have been declared clinically brain dead. The trial will involve a multi-pronged approach, involving injecting stem cells and peptides into the spinal cords, electrical nerve stimulation, and laser therapy. The researchers hope this will grow new neurons and spur them to connect to each other, bringing the brain back to life……..Read More

A researcher will build a huge bank filled with frozen human tears. When you first hear about this idea, it may sound very odd and even pointless, but the collected tears will serve as valuable researcher material for scientists around the world. Behind this idea, we find Professor Noam Sobel, of the neurobiology department and the Azrieli Center for Human Brain Imaging, Weizmann Institute of Science, in Rehovot, Israel. Crying is a way of expressing emotions, but Professor Sobel points out that there is no functional explanation for the phenomenon of tears. It’s not clear what purpose they serve. Building a giant bank with froze tears will help scientists to unravel the mystery why we cry……
Israeli scientists have discovered evidence for an event recorded in the Bible that took place thousands of years ago. University researchers in Israel say they now have proof that a miraculous event recorded in the book of Joshua undoubtedly occurred. According to Scripture, the sun stood still, enabling Joshua to lead the Israelites to victory in the Land of Israel. Israeli scientists have concluded, based on new research, that the event indeed took place, and they were even able to verify the exact date and time…….
Scientists in Japan have developed an AI that can decode patterns in the brain to predict what a person is seeing or imagining. In a new study, researchers used signal patterns derived from a deep neural network to predict visual features from fMRI scans. Their ‘decoder’ was able to identify objects with a high degree of accuracy, and the researchers say the breakthrough could pave the way for more advanced ‘brain-machine interfaces.’ ‘When we gaze at an object, our brains process these patterns hierarchically…….
DNA is what makes us who we are. In humans, our genetic makeup is 99.9 percent similar to the person next to us, but that tiny 0.1 percent difference is what makes each of us unique — providing us with traits such as eye and hair color, height, and even disease. Genetic testing is now available for over 2,000 conditions from over 500 different laboratories, according to the National Institutes of Health. As genomic technology grows at a rapid pace, testing that was once reserved for newborn screening exams and a handful of genetic disorders is now commercialized. It’s simple: order, spit, ship, and wait…….
