THEORY OF BIOHAPPINESS AND GENETIC VIRTUE OF MARK WALKER by Julia V. Khvastunova

“…Mark Walker, one of the ideologists of modern transhumanism, developed a number of neuroethics provisions for the implementation of the “human enhancement” project. The basic elements of “making happy” are neurovirtues mediated by the introduction of genetic engineering (the creation of “happy-people-pills” (HPP)). …”

L’émergence d’une forme de nanopunk au Japon : Gunnm (Ganmu 銃夢) de Kishiro Yukito by Denis Taillandier

“…Following a brief outline on the close connections that link nanotechnology to science-fiction, it presents the technical notes the mangaka inserted in his work to provide a background on nanotechnology which forms the basis of Kishiro’s take on human enhancement. Building on semiotics and the Greimas square to unravel the symbolic structure of the manga, it shows that Ganmu is articulated around two polarities : between natural and artefactual on the one hand, and between matter and mind on the other. …”

Computational analysis of congenital heart disease associated SNPs: unveiling their impact on the gene regulatory system by Shikha Vashisht, Costantino Parisi, Cecilia L. Winata

“…This approach led to the identification of 2,056 CHD-associated putative enhancers (CHD-enhancers), 38.9% of them overlapping with known enhancers catalogued in human enhancer disease database. We identified heart-related transcription factor binding sites within these CHD-enhancers, offering insights into the impact of SNPs on TF binding. …”
