DARPAs tiny implants will hook directly into your nervous system, treat diseases and depression without medication
2014-08-29 16:15:31| Extremetech
DARPA, on the back of the US government's BRAIN program, has begun the development of tiny electronic implants that interface directly with your nervous system and can directly control and regulate many different diseases and chronic conditions, such as arthritis, PTSD, inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn's disease), and depression. The program, called ElectRx (pronounced 'electrics'), ultimately aims to replace medication with "closed-loop" neural implants, which constantly assess the state of your health, and then provide the necessary nerve stimulation to keep your various organs and biological systems functioning properly.

The UK will sequence 100,000 genomes to better understand cancer & other diseases
2014-07-15 17:20:50| Extremetech
In a recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), genetics company Illumina revealed that it is partnering with the UK government to sequence 100,000 genomes by 2017. This initiative is focused on gathering data on patients with cancer and rare diseases, and will help researchers better understand the genetic component of human illnesses. While the final budget hasn't been settled on quite yet, it could end up costing UK taxpayers upwards of $200,000,000 just to sequence the patients' DNA.
