A recent study published in the journal Brain, Behavior, and Immunity has discovered a connection between ancient viral DNA embedded in the human genome and the genetic risk for two major neurodegenerative diseases: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and multiple sclerosis (MS). Researchers from King’s College London and Northwell Health identified specific human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) … Read more
Ghostpulse malware loader has evolved to hide its malicious payload within pixels of a PNG image file, making it increasingly difficult to detect. This technique is part of the malware’s social engineering tactics, which also involve tricking victims into downloading and executing the payload. Security experts say this change is “one of the most significant” … Read more
Google Chrome’s omnibox, often overlooked by users beyond developers, offers numerous features that simplify tasks, save time, and enhance productivity. From searching bookmarks to making notes, these lesser-known capabilities make the browser an indispensable tool. To start, type “@gemini” in the address bar followed by your prompt for a chatbot query. This integration with Google … Read more
A simple test can help you make better career decisions by distinguishing between genuine reasons and rationalizations that hold you back from pursuing your goals. To start, consider the words “want,” “should,” and “but” when evaluating options. Your brain may discount good choices, especially if they require taking risks, due to a tendency towards self-protection … Read more
ENG8, a Gibraltar-based company, has achieved a world-first milestone in power generation with its catalyzed fusion system. The EnergiCells reactor, based on low energy nuclear reactions (LENR) technology, can produce electricity indefinitely without any external input power. This self-powering system will also export net electricity, marking a significant breakthrough in the pursuit of fusion energy. … Read more
Researchers at Kumamoto University have made a groundbreaking discovery that sheds light on the inflammatory process linked to aging, known as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). The study reveals that blocking ATP-citrate lyase (ACLY), an enzyme involved in converting citrate to acetyl-CoA, can reduce inflammation-related gene expression in aging cells. The researchers found that ACLY … Read more
Early childhood experiences can have a lasting impact on one’s emotional well-being and relationships in adulthood. Research studies consistently show that difficult family circumstances during youth increase the risk of various problems later in life. A therapist’s experience confirms these findings, revealing many long-term effects of a challenging early home life. Common signs of a … Read more
Researchers have found that frequent use of high-potency cannabis leaves a unique molecular mark on DNA, particularly affecting genes related to energy and immune function. The study, conducted at King’s College London, suggests a possible genetic link to psychosis risk. The investigation focused on DNA methylation – an epigenetic modification – which differs between frequent … Read more
GhostStrike is an open-source, advanced cybersecurity tool designed for ethical hacking and Red Team operations. Its creator, Stiven Mayorga, aimed to replicate a common attack technique called process hollowing to demonstrate how implants can be obfuscated without detection. Key features of GhostStrike include: * Dynamic API resolution using a custom hash-based method * Base64 encoding … Read more
Scientists have overcome a major challenge in developing messenger RNA (mRNA) therapeutics, which are being explored as a promising treatment for incurable diseases. A team led by Peter ‘t Hart at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Physiology has created the first active substance that inhibits mRNA deadenylation, preventing its degradation. Current mRNA-based therapies destroy … Read more
