Grail CEO Hans Bishop explains the process behind their early cancer detection technology, using forensic science to look at cell free DNA and decipher methylation patterns to identify cancer at its earliest stages.
The overall survival rate of people with metastatic cancer has only improved about 5% in 50 years, with the majority of improvements coming from specific types of cancer that are sensitive to certain chemotherapies. Therefore, curing cancer, at least for the majority of types, still remains a challenge.
This podcast discusses advances in cancer detection technology, specifically GRAIL, which provides an easier and more scalable option compared to site-specific MRI's, as well as the various ways to improve the technology itself.
The construction of race cars allows them to transfer power from the engine to the tires, maximizing performance, similarly to how stability allows humans to safely transfer load between the outside world and the body during physical activity.
The podcast discusses how incorrect breathing, specifically not breathing correctly into the abdomen, can lead to a posture with ribs flared up, pelvis tilted forward, and long and tight muscles. This posture causes the body's center of mass to shift forward, leading to tightened erector spinae muscles.
