  1. Neck and back exercises for AxSpa with Emily Clarke

    Physiotherapist Emily Clarke (NASS Bath branch) demonstrates neck and back exercises for people living with axial spondyloarthritis.

    What I like about these is that they can be done sitting down. Good for lazy and low-energy days, but still leaving me feeling less hunched and more flexible. A set of exercises for all AxSpa sufferers, I think.

  2. Researchers uncover a new CRISPR-like system in animals that can edit the human genome

    A team of researchers led by Feng Zhang at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard has uncovered the first #programmable #RNA-#guided system in #eukaryotes — organisms that include fungi, plants, and animals.

    In a study published today in Nature, the team describes how the system is based on a protein called #Fanzor. They showed that Fanzor proteins use RNA as a guide to target DNA precisely, and that Fanzors can be reprogrammed to edit the genome of human cells.

    The #compact Fanzor systems have the potential to be more easily delivered to cells and tissues as therapeutics than #CRISPR-#Cas systems, and further refinements to improve their targeting efficiency could make them a valuable new technology for human #genome #editing
