Gene Editing in the Brain Gets A Major Upgrade

Genome editing technologies have revolutionized biomedical science, providing a fast and easy way to modify genes. However, the technique allowing scientists to carryout the most precise edits, doesn’t work in cells that are no longer dividing – which includes most neurons in the brain.

Researchers Pinpoint Jealousy in the Monogamous Brain

Jeremy Lin is slated to miss the entire 17-18 NBA season after rupturing his patella tendon in last nights game vs the Pacers in which Lin put up 18 Points, 4 Assists before rupturing it early on in the 4th Quarter.

“Jeremy worked tremendously hard during the offseason and in training camp and was excited for the prospects of the team this season," said Sean Marks. "We feel awful that the injury will cost him the season, however our entire organization will be there to support Jeremy in every way possible throughout his recovery. Jeremy remains an important part of this team and will continue to contribute in a leadership role.”

Ex-fugitive Chicago cop back in court 14 years after fleeing from justice

More than 14 years after he skipped out on his federal drug conspiracy trial, ex-Chicago police Sgt. Eddie Hicks was back Thursday in a courtroom at the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse following his arrest last month in Detroit.

THE FLASH EPISODE 4.2 "MIXED SIGNALS" REACT
"I'm back, I'm ready to work, I'm okay, and it's a beautiful day."
GRADE: A-

Captain Singh is alive? Apparently so. Also, Wally's new hair....this week and last week, I've thought it makes him look like a totally different character. LOL.

The villain of the week was a dude named Duncan who basically had meta powers that allowed him to infect anything computer coded. And he's on a quest for revenge. The first guy gets elevator milkshaked. (Nice touch with the dripping sound).
"WHY WOULD YOU SHOW ME THAT?" Cisco shrieks.
They, of course, set about stopping the no good nick.
Just one little bump in the road...Barry's having some issues.

You wouldn't think that with Barry dancing in his boxers, while simultaneously lip syncing, flipping pancakes, running out for coffee, catching up on all his favorite shows at super speed, and eating a massive breakfast....he'd be in a bad place. He's not quite. He just needs to a dose of reality. When he handed Iris their completed wedding planner binder...he completed it all....I was all "Uh oh."
The six months Barry was gone inflicted enough trauma on him that, while he doesn't remember it, he's also super happy to be past it. But he hadn't really stopped to think of how those close to him were affected and how dynamics would have changed. (Typical Barry). He cancelled training sessions and tried to pull the lone hero act. (I knew he'd have to take the car apart, another comic moment).

So it was actually a great relief to see Iris drag Barry to couple's therapy, which started off quite humorous. ("Oh, that's worth a writedown. He's actually dead too."). But it ultimately allowed Iris to get some stuff out that needed to be said. When Barry gushed about how much he loved her, Iris snapped.
"THEN HOW COULD YOU LEAVE ME!?" OH. SNAP. This applied not only to last season's finale but the season finale before that. The first time was worse. But Barry needed that verbal punch to snap out his Barryness.
Later on, Iris reminded him that they are a team.
"You are not the Flash, Barry. We are."

Great stuff. Iris is growing on me. That being said, the whole thing with Barry's suit being used against him and having a SELF DESTRUCT button was RIDONKULOUS!

The episode also made time for some Cisco and Gypsy. The former wound up in the "pandimensional doghouse" when he cancelled a date due to work. Of course, Cisco realized he had to talk to Gypsy about it. She revealed there was a special reason she wanted a date on that day.
"1-1-1 Day! You know when one soul plus one soul equals one soul!"
It's an Earth-19 thing.
Realizing that sometimes, black leather and all, Gypsy did like "schmoopy" things, Cisco rescheduled the date and made her the most realistic and likely to be kept romantic TV promise ever.
"I will always make it up to you."

Oh, and the meta who called himself KILGORE is now locked up in Iron Heights. The warden appears to be working for the Thinker. Who wants to find 11 more special metas too.
These metas also did not get their powers from the particle accelerator explosion, so there's an extra level of mystery. Who are these 12? Why were they chosen or how were they chosen? And what does the Thinker want with them?
