Gene Editing with Nanomagnets
It was 10 years ago when I first read about plans to alter the human genome to cure diseases. Back then it was an interesting idea. Now, we have an actual proof of concept. Researchers at Rice University have developed a technique where genes are altered using Crisper and then transmitted to the cells by using a virus that ordinarily infects moths. When the genetic payload reaches the targeted cells, it is activated by nanomagnets that create a magnetic field to enter the targeted cells. This is huge. We are on the cusp of curing diseases that have plagued mankind from time immemorial. Unfortunately, it will probably be another ten years before the cure makes it way from the lab to your doctors’ office. For those of you in your 20's no big deal. For us older folks, ten years looks like a huge delay while time is literally running out. Stay healthy everyone, better times are coming.
Great invention. It will help millions of people to fight from death. Salute to researchers
Good point. Society hero worships movie stars and professional athletes. These research scientists who are literally saving our lives are the real heroes.
Such great news thanks for sharing with us

Such a huge invention I am very happy. Hope it will not that costly that it is not available for poor peoples
It will probably follow the same path that most new technology does. Extremely expensive at first and within 10 years will cost hardly anything. Aspirin was a breakthrough once. Now it costs a penny per pill. Metformin was another miracle drug. Now 10 cents per pill. The amount of health care saving will be so great, I suspect most governments will subsidize it for poor to keep them out of the ER's.
Hi @clayrawlings,
Now a days nothing is impossible.
And I think this will definitely will prove to be game changer coming days.
And Sir when you music album going to launch? I hope every thing running smoothly as per your plan.
Thanks
Music video is being edited. Hope to have it done in 3 weeks.
