Traditionally, biosecurity focuses on reducing risks associated with the misuse of life science tools and/or knowledge, whereas cybersecurity is focused on securing information in technology-based systems. The objective of the merged discipline of cyberbiosecurity is to address the potential for or actual malicious destruction, misuse, or exploitation of valuable information, processes, and materials at the interface of the life sciences and digital worlds.
In this book, we outlined the foundation of an assessment framework for cyberbiosecurity, accounting for both security and resilience factors in the physical and cyber domains. This book's approach proposes to integrate existing capabilities and proven methodologies from the infrastructure assessment realm (e.g., decision science, physical security, infrastructure resilience, cybersecurity) with new expertise and requirements in the cyberbiosecurity space (e.g., biotechnology, biomanufacturing, genomics) in order to forge a flexible and defensible approach to identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities.
A utopia? Certainly – because we must observe shaping our futures from the perspective of the possible and not primarily as a mere extension of today’s living environments.
Realistic? Just as certainly! This dialogue dares to ask: What future do we want to see become a reality?
This impetus is born of two impressions which are contradictory only at first glance. Our society is significantly marked by longing for a clear future picture.
The second observation: We aren’t holding a dialogue about the future, at least not sufficiently. And yet every one of us carries our personal future picture within us – possibly several of them: some worth striving for, some less so. Envisioned, perceived, felt, far too seldom fully formulated and shared, and even more rarely incorporated into a constructive dialogue that can enable us to shape our futures actively and responsibilities.
Sources of stem cells, the moral status of human embryo, the slippery slope toward commercialisation of human life, concerns about safety, germ line intervention and the challenge of proportionality are some ethical issues. Stem cell research is a promising but controversial issue on which many religions have taken strong positions. The point at which human life begins is a pivotal challenge. Conception, primitive streak development, implantation, ensoulment and birth are specific stages in which different groups claim dignity begins in the course of human development. In this book, we will review the history and scientific facts of stem cells in brief; then, ethical considerations will be discussed. Our other aim is to clarify the religious debate on the issue, particularly monotheistic perspectives. Some related international and national guidelines will be reviewed in brief.
sum, human cloning can be morally justified when used responsibly.
Finding out that you have HIV can be upsetting. This booklet may help by giving clear, information, and reassuring you that life does go on.
We would like to thank everyone involved in producing this booklet, particularly the people living with HIV who reviewed draft copies and helped shape the final booklet.

The purpose of the present study was to examine stem cells in both isolation and proliferation from the human adipose tissue. In this study, stem cells were successfully isolated from human adipose tissue by digestion with type I collagenase enzymes. In summary, adipose tissue were digested by type I collagenase enzyme. Subsequently, the cell solution was centrifuged for mature adipocytes and debris elimination and obtained sedimentation was cultured in culture medium contains Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM) via 1% penicillin/streptomycin antibiotics and 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) at 37°C, 5% CO2 and 95% humidity.
Results: In this study, ADSCs were successfully isolated and proliferated. Human ADSCs were able to divide in our culture mediums.
Conclusion: The results of the current study suggest that this adipose-derived stem cell isolation protocol provides an effective and improved method for isolation and proliferation of these cells in order to tissue engineering application. As the field enters its next decade, a new wave of therapeutic applications, such as hepatic regeneration, diabetes mellitus treatment, multiple sclerosis treatment, and orthopaedic disorders regeneration, has converged with ADSCs to yield new insights for their use in stem cell engineering and regenerative medicine.
Most of the proteins we are investigating belong to the ubiquitous Ammonium Transport (Amt) family of integral membrane proteins. From Prokaryotes to Plants, these proteins supply nitrogen to the cell in its bio-available form (NH4+ or NH3), which is required for the synthesis of molecules such as amino acids or nucleic acids. Their homologous in mamals are the Rhesus proteins, from which the most prominent member is the Rhesus protein complex from erythrocytes which determine our blood type. They are also present in the kidneys and the liver. Rhesus proteins in these tissues are fundamentally involved in acid/basic homeostasis.
The precise mechanism(s) of transport for the Amt family remains, however, unclear. We determined the high-resolution crystal structure (1.45 Å) of an archaeal Amt protein (PDB code 2B2F), in various ammonium (2B2H) or methylammonium (2B2I) -containing soak solutions and Xe-soak (2B2J), by X-ray crystallography.
To understand the transport mechanism of Amt proteins in general, we were using the Af-Amt-1 as a model. To clarify the transport mechanism of this family of proteins, we take a multidisciplinary approach using, in combination with such structural studies, molecular biology, biochemistry, modeling and in vitro transport assays with protein reconstituted into artificial lipid bilayers (proteoliposomes).

In this project we will explore rigged avatars—those with internal skeletons for easier, more realistic animations—and the potential for avatars to serve not only as opportunities for user engagement but also as a substitute for the user’s own body. Such a substitution could essentially provide the user with a sense of “self” in the virtual world.
This project includes:
• Exploration fundamentals of body perception and how body perception ultimately changes user behavior
• Utilization of using rigged avatars to replace users’ bodies inside VR
• Applications of avatars, focusing on the wide range of experiments that can be done for the study of neuroscience, sociology, and psychology
• Discovering importance of tools to animate avatars for use in simulations and even to train AI systems
• Some new methods include deepfakes, cryptocurrencies, and mobile wallets.
• Expect an increase in supply chain attacks.
