Passage of landmark healthy environment bill sets standard for Australia and abroad
The ACT Parliament’s passage of legislation enshrining the right to a healthy environment is a watershed moment in human rights and environmental law in Australia, according to the Environmental Defenders Office (EDO) and the Human Rights Law Centre.Thomas Feng (Human Rights Law Centre)
Climate risk assessment report warns of threats to healthcare, finance and infrastructure
Rising temperatures and extreme weather events will heap even more stress on sectors already under severe strain unless effective mitigation strategies are developed, according to the government's climate risk assessment report.Nick Grimm (ABC News)
Restricting calories is known to improve health and increase lifespan, but much of how it does so remains a mystery, especially in regard to how it protects the brain. Scientists have now uncovered a role for a gene called OXR1 that is necessary for the lifespan extension seen with dietary restriction and is essential for healthy brain aging.

Signatories from 39 leading health bodies, including Australia’s peak body for GPs and rural medicine, say they’re already seeing widespread impacts on human health caused by climate change in their patients.
“As frontline health workers, we are increasingly responding to health emergencies triggered by the climate crisis,” they say.

On the electrogenetic regulation of health
In a novel experiment, researchers were able to trigger insulin production in human cells by sending electrical currents through an “electrogenetic” interface that activates targeted genes. Future applications of this interface could be developed to deliver therapeutic doses to treat a wide range of conditions, including diabetes, by directly controlling human DNA with electricity.
An electrogenetic interface to program mammalian gene expression by direct current
In a proof-of-concept study in a type 1 diabetic male mouse model, a once-daily transdermal stimulation of subcutaneously implanted microencapsulated engineered human cells by energized acupuncture needles (4.5 V DC for 10 s) stimulated insulin release and restored normoglycemia.
Unfortunately adoption will be very slow, if at all, as Big Pharma will oppose it in every way possible. Profit is paramount.
