Personalised genetic medicine a step closer to reality

NWO Library News - Personalised genetic medicine not far offA scientist has brought the holy grail of personalised medicine a step closer after having all his DNA screened for diseases and susceptibility to treatments.

Professor Stephen Quake, at Stanford University, spent £33,000 having his genetic make up mapped and then analysed for different diseases and sensitivity to medication.

The results, which revealed risks of heart disease, diabetes and prostate cancer, could pave the way to similar tests for the general public within the next decade, especially as the cost of genetic mapping is expected to plummet.

'Sleep Debts' Cannot be Compensated for Later

not enough sleepResearchers investigating our sleep mechanisms have recently determined that periods of lost sleep cannot be made up for at a later date. In a sense, the damage that is done when you force yourself to remain awake for tens of hours continuously cannot be made up for if you sleep 20 hours or more after that. The team has also underlined that the ill-effects of sleep deprivation during the week cannot be undone by sleeping more in the weekend, LiveScience reports.
