Quantum bits and consciousness: Biochemical information processing

Dr Peter Verheyen, DMD from the Sola Society & Academy, at Vienna University, explores quantum bits and consciousness, focusing this time on biochemical information processing.
Figure 1. Landmarks of the peripapillary intrachoroidal cavitation (PICC). LC = lamina cribrosa. BM = Bruch’s membrane (dashed red arrow). SF = scleral flange, the sclera between the dura and the pia mater. D = dura mater. PICC (red star) is in front of the subarachnoid space (yellow star). It is a suprachoroidal detachment. It is suggested to be promoted by a direct traction force (blue arrow) of the dura mater during eye movements. A tangential component of this traction force squeezes the choroid at the end of the posterior outpouching (red arrowheads). The device used is the Spectral Domain OCT Spectralis® HRA-OCT, model S3300 (Heidelberg Engineering GmbH, Heidelberg Germany). Note: Reprinted from Peripapillary Intrachoroidal Cavitation.

Understanding the link between PICC and myopic complications

Dr Adèle Ehongo discusses the pathogenesis of peripapillary intra-choroidal cavitation and its implications for myopic complications.

Biochar technology to sequester billions of tons of CO2

This CDR champion industry, biochar, has proven technology that can quickly grow to sequester billions of tons of CO2. However, the industry has growing pains it must overcome to reach its extraordinary potential, James Gaspard, CEO of Biochar Now LLC, reveals.
Figure: Top left & right: Depiction of an epigenetic Waddington landscape with various cell types illustrating the hierarchical process of differentiation (left) and how this process is altered in cancer (right). Top middle: diagram to illustrate how the normal multipotent cell suppresses tissue-specific transcription factors via an easily reversible epigenetic modification called H3K27me3. These H3K27me3 marks are removed once a cell differentiates into one that carries out a specific function in the tissue/organ (‘differentiated cells’). In cancer, the suppression by H3K27me3 is replaced by promoter DNA methylation, which is stable and leads to irreversible and increased suppression of tissue-specific transcription factors. CancerStemID can estimate the transcription factor inactivation load (TFIL) for any given cell. Bottom left: Illustration of how TFIL could identify the cells that are more stem-like and which drive cancer progression. Bottom middle: Heatmap of inactivation events of esophageal specific transcription factors in single cells from a precursor cancer lesion (low and high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia-LGIN/HGIN) in the human esophagus, with cells sorted by the TFIL. Bottom right: Violin plots displaying the significant association between TFIL and dedifferentiation, and between TFIL and a cancer risk score computed as relative similarity between a precancerous cell and those found in invasive cancer.

Predicting cancer risk with computational biology

Andrew Teschendorff, Professor at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, is developing computational systems-biological tools to identify cells at risk of turning cancerous.

The neuroscience of metabolism

Given that the brain can detect and respond to changing levels of body fat and blood sugar, Michael W. Schwartz, MD from the University of Washington Medicine Diabetes Institute, explains how the brain can be targeted to treat obesity and diabetes.
