Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been mocked online, with some comparing him to the last Queen of France, Marie Antoinette, after suggesting Americans eat liver over beef to save on groceries. Speaking at an event for MAHA Action, an advocacy group aimed at advancing the Make America Health Again movement, Kennedy said, “Most of the cheap cuts of meat are very inexpensive.”“If you buy a Porterhouse steak or a strip steak, it is gonna set you back,” the health secretary said. “You can buy liver or the cheaper cuts of steak that are very, very affordable.”A clip of Kennedy’s comments was shared on X Friday and was met with a series of mocking posts, suggesting the secretary was out of touch. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr....

Technology tamfitronics MainClustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)–Cas9-based genome editing1,2,3 has the potential to provide wide-ranging treatments for genetic diseases4,5,6 if safe and effective methods for delivering CRISPR-based therapeutics can be developed7,8. Although viral delivery of CRISPR genome editors is the most widely used method for in vivo cell editing9,10,11, viral vectors can be immunogenic, carry the risk of vector genome integration and can induce off-target DNA damage because of continuous genome editor expression12. Alternative nonviral strategies for delivering CRISPR editors could address these limitations if issues of efficacy and toxicity can be overcome.Lipid nanoparticle (LNP)–mRNA complexes are nonvirally derived vehicles for in vivo delivery that have been remarkably successful at genome editing in...

Lifestyle This is a sobering realization that our lifestyle and our weight matter a lot when it comes to how long we will live. We may like to think we won’t develop liver cancer because our viral load is low or our liver tests don’t show any damage, but sitting all day and over-eating are just as dangerous.>>>CONTINUE FULL READING HEREWhile the majority of people who develop liver cancer have severe liver scarring (called cirrhosis) from viral hepatitis, studies are finding a growing number of liver cancers in people who don’t have hepatitis B but do have fatty liver and diabetes. You add fatty liver or diabetes to hepatitis B, and our risk of liver cancer skyrockets.While we may not be able to control our viral loads or hepatitis B infection, we can control our...
