Science Talks (#Talk-2)

In today’s news session;

• Crisper gene editing technique
• A new zombie gene has been found against cancer
• It’s time to get new sensors which can detect your body motion
•   Space study found water-rich exoplanets like the Earth
• Cure of type- 2 diabetes will reduce the chances of heart diseases


Welcome to another blog of science talks. This is our science talk- 2 news session. And I hope you are liking this weekly science news session. So, without wasting any time let’s start with it.

1. Crisper gene editing technique

The researchers of Illinois university variated the intracellular machinery of a cell by using Crisper gene editing technique. Now, it can be denoted as crisper skip technique according to its convenient intended purposes.

The traditional crisper technique involves the breakdown of a targeted DNA sequence which leads to the unwanted mutations. And that’s why we weren’t able to take its benefits appropriately. New crisper editing doesn’t tear the targeted DNA sequence. Instead of it, targeted site alters and join the two suitable DNA sequences and evolves the muton instinctively without any kind of intracellular disturbance.


2. A new zombie gene has been found against cancer

A new study shows that huge animals like elephants have 5-6 times more ability to fight cancer than human beings. But, how?

Generally, the chances of cancer held by the massive amount of cells consisting cellular organisms. More cells relate more chances of cancer. The researchers found that elephants have more p53 tumor suppressors (about on 20) than human beings (only one). But, this isn’t enough. These all p53 tumor suppressors coordinate with a special kind of protein i.e. LIF-6. LIF 6 gene encodes this protein which works with p53. According to a scientific study, all mammals include this LIF gene but have an amount in lump-sum.

Elephants contain about 10 LIF 6 factors which help in the tumor suppression. Humans contain only 1 LIF-6 factor. That’s why elephants get more immunity against cancer. Still, it’s mechanism is unknown. And the most of scientists called this LIF-6 gene as Zombie gene. The existence of this gene shows the evolution of genetic compositions and cell signaling in the 80 million years of time duration.


3. It’s the time to seek next generation textiles which can detect your body motion

The Delaware University, a team of engineers is planning to develop sensor-based textiles. They are using the carbon nanotube as the source of textile-based sensors. These sensors are capable of detecting the blood pressure of our body in a single small touch. Engineers are going to coat the composites of Carbon Nanotube upon the several ranges of the fibers, like cotton, wool, and nylon.

For the detection of human motion, these upcoming smart textiles can be used inside the shoes. Such advanced technology renders the base of the future’s prosperity.


4. Space study found the water-rich exoplanets like our Earth

What would be your reaction when you get up in the morning and seeing many piles of earth in the sky. Don’t worry this is not going to happen yet. But, if you are thinking that there is no life in other planets who looks like earth. Then you’re in a perplex. Recently, NASA seek the findings of the new exoplanets who are very efficient with water and also looks like our beautiful planet “Earth”. But,  now it's very common to have such explanets. The point is to bring out some new alien species.


5. This facile cure of type- 2 diabetes can reduce the chances of heart diseases

A correlative study of type- 2 diabetes done with 300,000 patients in the time period of 1998-2014. In this experimental study, they took the categories people of many genders as well as age. The simple implemented formula for the patients in this study was refraining from cigarette and the consumption of a healthy diet. Consequences of this study illustrated the effects of smoking and no smoking. Subjects health were compared with the non-influenced general population. It showed the low risk of heart disease in the subjects and also evolved the data i.e. onwards 45 years, the risk of the heart diseases raises up for those who are not preventing the smoke habit.
So, if still, you have the habit of smoking. Then, you should to surely think about it.
