Fix The Motorway

Ghana News, Health & Wellbeing
Urgent Appeal for the Renovation of the Tema Motorway Dear Ghanaians, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to draw your attention to a pressing issue that affects the lives and safety of countless Ghanaians: the deplorable state of the Tema Motorway, officially known as N1. The Tema Motorway is a crucial 19-kilometer highway that connects the bustling cities of Tema and Accra in Ghana. This vital transportation artery has been in operation since 1965, serving as a lifeline for the people of Ghana. However, over the years, the motorway has deteriorated to a point where it poses a severe threat to public safety and the nation's productivity. The sorry state of the Tema Motorway has led to a cascade of issues that demand immediate attention. Firstly, it has become a pe...

Google DeepMind AI speeds up search for disease genes

Google DeepMind AI speeds up search for disease genes

Health & Wellbeing, Science & Technology
Google's AI firm DeepMind has used artificial intelligence to identify changes in human DNA that might cause diseases. The researchers believe they have pinpointed 89% of all the key mutations. The development is expected to speed up diagnosis and help in the search for better treatments. A leading independent scientist told BBC News that the work was "a big step forward". Prof Ewan Birney, deputy director general of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory, said: "It will help clinical researchers prioritise where to look to find areas that could cause disease." The technique works by checking the order of the components in human DNA strands. All living organisms are built from DNA. It is made from four blocks of chemicals called adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) a...

No herbal or traditional medicine has been identified or approved to cure or prevent prostate cancer,” he stated.

Scientists discover how brain cells die in Alzheimer’s

Scientists discover how brain cells die in Alzheimer’s

Education, Health & Wellbeing
Scientists in the UK and Belgium think they have figured out how brain cells die in Alzheimer's disease. It has been a mystery and a source of scientific debate for decades. But the team, writing in the journal Science, connect the abnormal proteins that build up in the brain with "necroptosis" - a form of cellular suicide. The findings have been described as "cool" and "exciting", as they give new ideas for treating the disease. Long-awaited clues It is the loss of brain cells, called neurons, that lead to the symptoms of Alzheimer's, including memory loss. And if you look inside the brains of people with the disease you'd see the build-up of abnormal proteins called amyloid and tau. But scientists have not been able to join the dots between these key traits of the di...

Scientists grow whole model of human embryo, without sperm or egg

Scientists grow whole model of human embryo, without sperm or egg

Health & Wellbeing, International, Lifestyle & Social
Scientists have grown an entity that closely resembles an early human embryo, without using sperm, eggs or a womb.  The Weizmann Institute team say their “embryo model”, made using stem cells, looks like a textbook example of a real 14-day-old embryo. It even released hormones that turned a pregnancy test positive in the lab. The ambition for embryo models is to provide an ethical way of understanding the earliest moments of our lives. The first weeks after a sperm fertilises an egg is a period of dramatic change – from a collection of indistinct cells to something that eventually becomes recognisable on a baby scan.  This crucial time is a major source of miscarriage and birth defects but poorly understood.  “It’s a black box and that’s not a cliche – our ...
