HIGHER HANGING FRUIT. “Classic endocrinology identified thyroid hormone and vitamins A and D as vital factors; however, these hormones bind their receptors with high affinity, similar to the classic steroid hormones. In contrast, the reverse endocrinology strategy allowed for the identification of lower-affinity endogenous ligands that were derived from dietary lipids.” https://lnkd.in/dXjCCgQ View in LinkedIn

WIRED AND NETWORKED. "The next year, the Army launched the multibillion dollar Future Combat System to transform the military into a fast and flexible force of networked sensors, combat vehicles, and wired soldiers." https://lnkd.in/d-dYtnw View in LinkedIn

AND A LOT MORE. "In 2002, Dr Joseph Bielitzki, chair of DARPA’s Defense Sciences Office, announced a grand program to improve soldiers, with the slogan “Be all that you can be, and a lot more.” His targets: sleep, fatigue, pain, and blood loss. Other projects studied psychological stress, memory, and learning." https://lnkd.in/d-dYtnw View in LinkedIn

NEUROMODULATION. "But with the help of an electrically charged implant, DARPA says it can keep neuromodulation under control. Electric impulses from the device will stimulate the nerve patterns that help the body heal itself and keep the out-of-whack nerve stimulus patterns that cause a sick person even greater harm from doing damage." https://lnkd.in/dTZhgrT View in LinkedIn

QUICKER HEALING. “A new military-sponsored program aims to develop a tiny device that can be implanted in the body, where it will use electrical impulses to monitor the body's organs, healing these crucial parts when they become infected or injured." This could have significant medical applications. https://lnkd.in/dTZhgrT View in LinkedIn
