Cultured meat or cultivated meat, made from cells, is not science-fiction any more. It is pure science. Though I could not help but thinking about Nancy Kress science-fiction book Beggars and Choosers when preparing to this episode. She writes about a world in 2106 where the society is split into a ruling class of Donkeys, who have access to real food, and Livers, who rely on government-provided cheap synthetic and soy-based food. It's just, the current reality of cell-grown meat already lo...
If you've ever given up on something because you thought you didn’t have the predisposition, you should listen to this episode. From sports genomics to genetic-based training. Can genes predict sports performance? And injuries in athletes? What is the contribution of genes to sports performance? We're speaking percentages. Can some athletes be too gifted? Can you predict a child’s talent by analyzing their genes? We’ll also be speaking about multiomics: genomics, genetics, prote...
By helping pumping blood, Ventricular Assist Devices during end-stage heart failure can prolong life. They can be implanted instead of a heart transplant or while waiting for a heart transplant. They may, however, come with some unwanted side effects, such as infections of a wound that doesn’t heal. The reason is that a cable connecting the Ventricular Assist Device to its power source must pass through the skin on the abdomen and remain there. This wound, a small hole in the abdomen,...
This might be a tool that sports psychologists have dreamed of: a way to measure athletes’ mental training efficacy for boosting sports performance. You know, like when a runner runs slower today than the day before their coach has the data to compare. If that same runner puts less effort into their mental training, their sports psychologist would not know. This is what my guest is working on, giving mental coaches a VR headset and metrics to rely on to help athletes find flow and improve ...
We are speaking about the world where wheelchairs will not be needed after a spinal cord injury. There are 250 000-500 000 spinal cord injuries globally each year. “A bunch of crazy guys,” in the words of my guest, him included, wants the spinal cord to self-regenerate. He is sure that in the future, we won’t be even speaking about regenerating the spinal cord after an accident but about healing. In this episode, you will hear how much time it takes from a spinal cord injury event, an ac...

Fetal surgeons save the life of a fetus with a birth defect – or improve the outcomes after birth – operating while still in utero. In a woman’s womb.

In this episode, you’ll hear about fetal abnormalities that can be addressed by surgeries before a child is bornspina bifidatwin-to-twin transfusion syndromecongenital dia...
The pain in your mouth is so bad that you cannot even drink, let alone eat. What is horrifying is that 50-80% of cancer patients undergoing chemo or radiotherapy can experience it – oral mucositis.
