Within a few years, Jim Johnsen and Delaney Van Riper may be among the first to benefit from CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing, a breakthrough that has already revolutionized biology research and promises to resurrect gene therapy.www.sciencealert.com/brain-to-brain-mind-connection-lets-three-people-share-thoughts
Scientists Have Connected The Brains of 3 People, Enabling Them to Share Thoughts
sciencealert.com
Neuroscientists have successfully hooked up a three-way brain connection to allow three people share their thoughts – and in this case, play a Tetris-style game. The team thinks this wild experiment could be scaled up to connect whole networks of ptechcrunch.com/2018/09/20/scientists-have-moved-one-step-closer-to-rna-editing-which-could-be-the...
Scientists have moved one step closer to RNA editing, which could be the next stage of CRISPR
