(Nanowerk News) In recent years, cell and gene therapies have shown significant promise for treating cancer, cystic fibrosis, diabetes, heart disease, HIV/AIDS and other difficult-to-treat diseases. But the lack of effective ways to deliver biological treatments into the body has posed a major barrier for bringing these new therapies to the market — and, ultimately, to the patients who need them most.

"In time, quantum computers will be able to break the asymmetric encryption algorithms we use today, potentially making it possible for users with access to the technology to expose companies' intellectual property and government secrets," it said. Currently, it's expected that quantum computers will be able to break these algorithms at some point in the next five to 30 years, the report noted.

The roadmap starts this year, with the launch of a quantum computer with 10 logical qubits, which the company said has a "unique transversal gate capability", and over 256 physical qubits. According to QuEra Computing, transversal gates are crucial in quantum computing for their ability to prevent error propagation across qubits, making them inherently error-resistant.

A lifesaving gene therapy for children born with a rare and debilitating disease has just been approved by the U.Food and Drug Administration. The catch? Its wholesale cost has been set at $4.25 million, making it the most expensive medicine in the world. MLD is an incurable genetic disorder caused by a certain gene mutation that creates a deficiency of the enzyme arylsulfatase A (ARSA), according to the National Institutes of Health.

New brain cells in the hippocampus — an area critical for memory — were reduced by 40%. Even moderate alcohol intake could reduce the brain's ability to produce new cells by 40 percent, research suggests. Regularly having as little as 3 to 4 alcoholic drinks could reduce the structural integrity of the adult brain.
