A single type of neuron serves as master controller of habits. This rare cell exerts its control through a web of connections to the cells that drive habitual behavior. The FSI cells (fast-spiking interneuron) are only one per cent of the striatum but are linked to 95% of neurons that trigger the stop and go passways.

 

 

A surgical glue allows rapid healing of wounds…

A surgical glue called MeTro allows rapid healing of any type of internal or external wound in 60 seconds. It contains a protein that gives elasticity, molecules that act with the light causing activation and enzymes that degrade the whole in the end.

A mouse embryo model was made by combining two different types of stem cells. The cells seem to organize themselves into the right structure using a 3D scaffold. A third type of stem cells could help to create a functioning embryo artificially. The same technique could be used to build an artificial model of human embryo.

The new ABE tool succeeds in changing a single base of DNA. This technique requires the use of Crispr-Cas9 to locate the desired place but ABE is much more efficient and without side effects. Another technique, Crispr-Cas13, acts on RNA that has only one strand.
