Cancer cells are real-life vampires.

 

Cancer cells are real-life vampires.

Natural nanotechnology makes immune cells powerful. But the same thing gives cancer cells active defense against the immune system.  The cancer cells are fighting more actively against the immune cells than predicted. The images above this text show that the mitochondria are traveling from the T-cells to the cancer cells. So cancer cell is like energy vampire that sucks mitochondria away from the immune cells. 

Natural nanotechnology is an impressive thing. The immune cells are using natural nanotubes to fight against bacteria. But the new thing is that also cancer cells are using similar technology against immune cells. The nanotubes or tiny tentacles can pull the mitochondria out from immune cells. And that thing makes cancer cells more destructive than they should be. 

The question is why evolution has been created that kind of cell? If we think that cancer is some kind of parasite, it will destroy its host. The thing is that there must be some kind of mutation that makes the cancer cell to acting a little bit like some immune cell. So are the cancer cells able to connect genomes from the immune cells to their DNA? 

The cancer cells are using tiny tentacles to remove the mitochondria from immune cells. And that thing means that the immune cells cannot fight against cancer so effectively as they should. The tentacles or nanotubes that the cancer cells are using are telling that there is some kind of hybridization between the cancer cells and immune cells or bacteria. This kind of active version of the defense against immune cells is making cancer cells more lethal than they should be. 

And if the cancer cells are pulling mitochondria away from the immune cells. That thing means that the immune cells can also die in that thing. This causes cell death and a dangerous situation. The thing is that the new research with the cancer cells is making new observations of those mysterious cells that are killing people and animals. 

The thing is that today we know that sometimes some viruses can write their genomes to the point where the programmed self-destruction of the cells is. And that causes that the cell is turning into a cancer cell. But the active defense of those cells is new. And that thing can help to create more effective medicals against those cells.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft.  Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things.  In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion.  If we th

Iron Dome is one of the most effective air defense systems.

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system whose missiles operate with highly sophisticated and effective artificial intelligence. The power of this missile defense base is in selective fire. The system calculates the incoming missile's trajectory. And it shoots only missiles that will hit the inhabited area. The system saves missiles and focuses defense on areas that mean something. The system shares the incoming missiles in, maybe two groups. Another is harmless and another is harmful.  Things like killer drones are also problematic because their trajectories are harder to calculate than ballistic missiles. The thing that makes drones dangerous is that they can make masks for ballistic missiles. And even if those drones are slow, all of them must be shot down.  The thing is that the cooperation between drone swarms and ballistic missiles is the next danger in conflict areas. In the film, you can see how drones make light images of the skies. The killer drones can also carry LED li

The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

"NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft successfully completed its closest solar pass, protected by innovative engineering solutions and showing improvements in onboard instruments. Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/CI Lab" (ScitechDaily, Innovative Engineering Shields NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX During Close Encounter With the Sun) The OSIRIS-APEX probe travels close to the sun. The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts.  The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to prot
