  • We investigate three of 2024’s biggest breakthroughs in biology including new understanding of the common ancestor of all modern life, a surprising discovery about the connection between the brain and the immune system, and the ongoing impact of AI on the field of biology which led to the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for researchers working on protein structure prediction and protein design.
    Read about more breakthroughs from 2024 at Quanta Magazine: www.quantamaga...
    00:05 Modern Life's Ancient Ancestor
    An interdisciplinary group applied the latest tricks of phylogenetics - using genes and genomes to build evolutionary trees - to trace all of modern life back to our shared ancestor. This ancient cell, or population of cells, is known as LUCA, which stands for “last universal common ancestor,” the one from which everything alive today emerged. The work suggested that LUCA was a surprisingly complex cell and dated LUCA to some 4.2 billion years ago - earlier than researchers had thought.

    04:50 Surprising Brain-Body Connection
    One of the most mind-blowing discoveries of the year is about the integration of the brain and body. Most immunologists have long assumed that the immune system is self-regulating. For the first time, researchers have found a neural circuit, located in the brainstem, that adjusts the immune system. This circuit senses inflammatory molecules in the body and then dials their levels up or down to protect healthy tissues

    09:18 AI Transforms Protein Science
    In 2024, hardly a week could go by without some big new paper related to Google DeepMind’s AlphaFold2: a neural network that can accurately predict the three-dimensional structure of a folded protein from the one-dimensional string of its amino acid molecules In May, Google DeepMind released AlphaFold3, which predicts the shapes of proteins as they interact with other molecules. Then, in October, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to John Jumper and Demis Hassabis from Google DeepMind, the creators of AlphaFold2, and David Baker from the University of Washington, who revolutionized the design of proteins using AI.

      @@MrKiach I've often had that thought recently. After the false mania over biotech for a short while in the 90s, it felt like the field had dropped off, when really things just slowly built and waited for AI to get powerful enough. It seems we are now at where physics was in the 1920s, when relativity and quantum physics manifested in technological change.
      The results were most dramatically shown during the Manhattan Project and the Moon landing, which permanently changed geopolitics and then how we see ourselves. But a lot kept happening after that - it was just the most obvious manifestation.
      There's also a lot of talk like, "We have been to the Moon but can't..." talk. That talk happens because we cracked physics but not biology.

      Not a problem: it's called turmeric. When used in conjunction with black pepper, it has a REMARKABLE ability to regulate the body's inflammatory response. I've been using it for about 14 years now, to prevent my finger joints from developing osteoarthritis, which i am prone to, being someone who does massages for a living: my metacarpal and finger joints often become quite sore, and without a decent dose of turmeric (1 to 2 inches of raw root chewed well, depending upon the roots' thickness, later in a meal where you start out with something you put a goodly dose of black pepper on) they even become stiff after a night's sleep. The turmeric does a FABULOUS job. I also use formulations which contain a concoction of chondroitin, MSN, boron, glucosamine, hyaluric acid and a good anti-inflammatory agent such as boswellia...but oddly enough the turmeric + piperine combo produces better overall results than this jumble of supposed cartiledge-building substances.

    One indirect way of observing the link between the Vagus Nerve and the immune system is that some immune cells have acetylcholine receptors on them. When the acetylcholine binds to the receptors, it alters the immune function of the cells, and the acetylcholine is provided by the parasympathetic nervous system, which includes the Vagus Nerve.

    LUCA is cool, the entire process from LUCA to us has always been fascinating but when I read about the inflammation modulator in the brain stem it gives you a good feeling knowing that a good chunk of systemic bodily pathologies have a potential pathway to a (dare I say) potential solution. But the protein folding progress, although definitely has a much higher ceiling (In many fields), feels like a precursor to some nefarious things we cannot even comprehend yet is troubling and can seem like another version of pandoras box (what we can potentially expect when we completely unlock AI).

    Surely you should have said that the two domains of life are Bacteria and Archaea, rather than continuing to use the paraphyletic notion of prokaryotes in 2024? We know now that eukaryotes are deeply embedded within the Asgardarchaeota clade, and so they cannot be a separate domain of life.

      Thats not what they said. We still think of the three kingdoms (archaea, eukarya, prokaryota) as individual, monophyletic clades. Going back further you have their common ancestor, LUCA.

      @@bluesmanshoes Prokaryota are not a monophyletic clade, but a paraphyletic grouping of archaea and bacteria, and eukaryotes are deeply nested within the archaeal clade, a type of asgard archaeon, rather than a separable third domain. However, eukaryotes are a valid clade themselves, and so are bacteria. This is like the situation w birds, which are a type of maniraptoran dinosaur, but a valid clade within it nonetheless.

    • @lunkel8108
      @lunkel8108 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      What do you mean by this? LUCA stands for "last universal common ancestor" and we are using it to mean exactly that. It is the most recent ("last") ancestor of all known extant life (therefore "universal common ancestor"). That is exactly how it's being used.
      Are you perhaps thinking of the first living thing? That would be the *first* universal common ancestor (FUCA).

  • @jeremycormier8559
    @jeremycormier8559 วันที่ผ่านมา

    If LUCA was already somewhat sophisticated and dates back to 4.2 billion years ago and LUCA loved extreme heat and wasn't the only life form at the time , jus the only one to survive till today, and if the earth is only 4.5 billion years old it makes me wonder if theia or gaia had life before the collision

  • @deskdadesk3379
    @deskdadesk3379 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I found it suprising that LUCA could have emerge 4.2B years ago during the Hadean age (basically the Earth was just lava right..? Im a biologist not a geologist and although it is written in the article that one other scientist asked the same question, no proper answer was given...).

    Knowing even people from thousands of years before Darwin whom theorized all animals might have stemmed from one root this whole video comes as a joke to me. What makes Darwin special isn't that he brought evolution to the table, he was special because he was the first to sort some specific kinds of material to prove his point but even that can be seen lacking from todays point of view.

You can't even prove to others that you are conscious. The only thing I know is true is the existence of my own consciousness. Everything else in unprovable. Even math, because it is built on unprovable axioms.
