"El acertijo de la vida" es una fascinante narración de los hallazgos más importantes de la Biología durante el siglo XX y su revolución para dar paso a la genética. Para ello da cuenta de los actores más importantes en este proceso y el contexto en el que se dieron sus aportaciones: la importancia que tuvo Rosalind Franklin en el desarrollo del esquema de la doble hélice del ADN, las primeras ideas en la biología relacionadas a la búsqueda del gen y que dieron paso a la genética.

Humans are the only species who can reprogram themselves. This is astounding. In episode 8 of The Book Club, Amit Varma recommends you read 'Hacking Darwin' by Jamie Metzl, a lucid summation of the technological implications of genetic science – and the ethical questions they raise.

"Guerras CRISPR: Cómo la Edición Genética Revolucionará la Guerra" es una obra de no ficción que explora el asombroso y aterrador potencial de la tecnología CRISPR en el campo de batalla. A través de un análisis detallado, el libro examina cómo la manipulación genética puede dar lugar a soldados mejorados, capaces de hazañas físicas y cognitivas que antes eran imposibles. Además de los avances científicos, se abordan los dilemas éticos, el impacto estratégico en los conflictos militares y las consecuencias globales.

From bestselling author and biotech pioneer, Dr. William A. Haseltine comes a new book on Regenerative Medicine. The Future of Medicine: Healing Yourself Dr. William Haseltine first coined the term Regenerative Medicine in 1999, since then, the field has rapidly expanded. By studying our natural healing abilities, we are unlocking new ways to regenerate tissues, improve outcomes, and enhance the quality of life for people across the world. Whether it involves cell, gene, or protein therapies, or cutting-edge biomechanical interventions, regenerative medicine is revolutionizing the ...

Walter Isaacson vertelt het verhaal van DNA-expert en Nobelprijswinnaar Jennifer Doudna. In oktober 2020 ontving biochemicus Jennifer Doudna samen met haar collega Emmanuelle Charpentier de Nobelprijs voor de Scheikunde voor hun doorslaggevende bijdrage aan de ontwikkeling van CRISPR-Cas. Met deze techniek kunnen wetenschappers het menselijk genoom bewerken door te knippen en plakken in DNA-sequenties.

Life on earth is facing unprecedented challenges from global warming, war, and mass extinctions. The plight of seeds is a less visible but no less fundamental threat to our survival. Seeds are at the heart of the planet's life-support systems. Their power to regenerate and adapt are essential to maintaining our food supply and our ability to cope with a changing climate. Environmental journalist Claire Hope Cummings exposes the stories behind the rise of industrial agriculture and plant biotechnology, the fall of public interest science, and the folly of patenting seeds.

Sind es nur die Gene, die unser Wesen bestimmen? Welche Rolle spielen dabei Erfahrungen, Erlebnisse und das, was wir "Seele" nennen? Das Wechselspiel zwischen Erbanlagen und Lebensumständen beschäftigt die moderne Medizin bis heute. Joachim Bauer macht dieses Zusammenwirken von Geist und Genen erstmals populär verständlich - und setzt sich ein für einen bewussteren Umgang mit der menschlichen Seele.

Immer mehr Einzelheiten werden darüber bekannt, wie epigenetische Prozesse die Aktivität von Genen steuern. Bisher wurde vor allem diskutiert, welchen Einfluss die Umwelt so auf unser Erbgut nehmen kann - mit Langzeitfolgen über Generationen hinweg. Doch inzwischen diskutieren Forschende, inwieweit sich diese Erkenntnisse auch gezielt medizinisch nutzen lassen.

Una piccola sigla, un mondo di significati: il DNA è una risorsa contro le malattie, uno strumento per identificare gli assassini e una chiave per comprendere il comportamento umano. La sua storia è talmente antica da intrecciarsi con quella della comparsa della vita sulla Terra. E in futuro? Proviamo a parlarne direttamente con lui. Dalla genetica di Neandertal alla clonazione di esseri umani, metteremo a fuoco speranze (e timori) che grazie al DNA si aprono per la scienza e per le nostre esistenze.

Was ist Leben? Und was bedeutet die Antwort auf diese Frage für die Herausforderungen, denen sich die Menschheit heute gegenübersieht - Klimawandel, Pandemien und Artensterben? Paul Nurse erhielt den Nobelpreis dafür, gezeigt zu haben, wie lebende Zellen funktionieren. In seinem so klar wie elegant verfassten Buch synthetisiert er auf wenigen Seiten sämtliches Wissen darüber, was es heißt, am Leben zu sein. Schritt für Schritt erläutert Nurse die fünf revolutionären Ideen, die der Biologie zugrunde liegen - die Zelle, das Gen, Evolution durch natürliche Selektion, das Leben als Chemie und das Leben als Information.

I nostri geni non sono scolpiti nella pietra e i nostri fattori ereditari non sono un' "impronta digitale" fissa e immodificabile. Un essere umano infatti è molto più della somma dei suoi geni. Tutto quello che mangiamo, facciamo e sentiamo, tutto ciò che ci accade può influire sull'attività del DNA, a prescindere dalla configurazione genetica con la quale nasciamo. L'epigenetica, cioè la branca della genetica che si occupa di indagare le variazioni dell'espressione del nostro DNA, ci porta infatti una buona notizia: tali variazioni sono reversibili.

I’ve written a number of books on longevity and immortality. But I’ve only had some partial chapters on long-lived plants and animals. This is an important subject because all of this life is based on the same DNA code we have in our own bodies. If this life can live for hundreds or thousands of years, then this says that it is possible for humanity to live that long, also. Here I’ve researched and included lots of specimens of animal and plant life which represent the extremes of longevity for widely varying life.

For the past six years, Whitney Dafoe has been confined to a bedroom in the back of his parents' home, unable to walk, eat or speak. His diagnosis? The mysterious disease myalgic encephalomyelitis or chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) which affects 20 million people around the world who largely suffer in silence because the condition is little known and much misunderstood. Waiting for Superman follows Whitney's father, groundbreaking geneticist Ron, as he uncovers new possibilities for treatments and potentially a cure.

Genetics, Diversity, and the Biosphere is a college introductory-level text read in a conversational manner. Within each section key words and concepts are introduced, discussed and then reviewed. The audio format allows students to make the most of their time by giving them the freedom to study by listening. Genetics, Diversity, and the Biosphere is an ideal study guide for students who need to review introductory biology including those who need to review for the MCAT, DAT, Biology GRE, and AP Biology.

Du möchtest das Altern verlangsamen oder sogar umkehren? Du möchtest dich jung, lebendig und glücklich fühlen? Dann ist dieses Buch das Richtige für dich! Altern ist das natürlichste der Welt und, um es vorwegzunehmen, daran kann auch niemand etwas ändern. Was wir aber ändern können, ist wie wir altern. Das Altern setzt sich aus vier Teilprozessen zusammen. Dem genetischen, dem umweltbedingten, dem biochemischen und dem hormonellen Altern.

"Viaggio al centro della vita" è una guida immaginaria alla scoperta dell'epigenetica. I protagonisti di questo viaggio, narrato nella forma classica di un dialogo, sono Ulisse, un biologo molecolare, ed Efesto, un fisico un po' pazzerello. Entrambi sono in missione al centro della vita per trovare la temibile mutazione k. Trasformatisi in fotoni, entrano nel cuore del DNA in uno spazio-tempo infinito. La mutazione k, però, non si trova! Sarà Atena a condurli alla meta in un avvincente viaggio verso il mistero della vita.

Learn how to build muscle and get in shape with these 15-minute workouts you can do at home. While a gym membership can be a great investment in one's own body and health, many of us simply have neither the time nor the experience for lengthy and complicated workouts.

Human beings have astonishing genetic vulnerabilities. More than half of us will die from complex diseases that trace directly to those vulnerabilities, and the modern world we've created places us at unprecedented risk from them. In It Takes a Genome, Greg Gibson posits a revolutionary new hypothesis: Our genome is out of equilibrium, both with itself and its environment. Simply put, our genes aren't coping well with modern culture.
