who has been watching the action. we are calling it magic monday for team gb. let s go through some of those golds. let s start with adam peaty. it seemed to be a perfectly executed swim. yes it was, but don t forget the enormous amount of pressure on adam peaty. but boy, did he do it! despite all of the issues surrounding these games he felt he had the best preparation of his life. he also had morning finals, and don t like them. they like evening meetings. he said it was about how you adapted, about who was best on the day, he was the most adaptable. he won the first goal for great britain of these games. he has become the first british swimmer to
yeah, i can t believe it. i m sure he wasn t the only one! meanwhile, adam peaty made history in the pool, successfully defending his 100m breaststroke olympic title, becoming the first british swimmer to do so. the world record holder blew away the competition in a perfectly executed swim. peaty finished in a time of 57.37 seconds, six tenths clear of the field. speaking afterwards, the defending champion said he had gone through a tough time, but it had been worth it. i haven t felt this good since 2016. itjust means the world to me. i didn t have the. i thought i had the best preparation of my life but then the morning finals, it goes out the window. that s really what it takes to be an athlete, not who is the best all year round, it s the best on the day, best person on the day who is the most adaptable. and the third gold medal came from an unexpected source, team gb s tom pidcock convincingly
i couldn t even sing, i was crying. ijust i couldn t even sing, i was crying. i just can t believe i couldn t even sing, i was crying. ijust can t believe it. the great british gold rush started in the early hours of this morning with adam peaty winning the 100m breaststroke becoming the first british swimmer to defend an olympic title. the world record holder blew away the competition to take britain s first gold medal of the games. from start to finish it was a perfectly executed swim by peaty as he finished in a time of 57.37 seconds, six tenths clear of the field. speaking afterwards, the defending champion peaty said he was relieved. i have not felt this good since 2016. it means the world to me. i had the best preparation in my life, and then it s what it takes to be an athlete, it s not who is the best all year round, it is the best person on the day, who is the most adaptable. team gb s tom pidcock has taken gold in the cross country mountain biking.
either you re going to get the vaccine, or you re going to end up being infected if you re unvaccinated. we still want to push public health measures, kbwearing mask washing hands, social distancing. but we need the vaccines to take us to the top protection of herd immunity. this is a very formidable foe. humans versus viruses. viruses change, survival goes to the fittest. in science, fittest means the most adaptable, not the strongest. and viruses are incredibly successful at being adaptable. so we need to take this seriously, especially to protect our children. misinformation is big right now. the biden says it is trying really hard to pressure social
New adaptable nanoparticle platform enables enhanced delivery of gene therapies, RCSI research
DULBIN, June 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Scientists have developed polypeptide-based materials that act as effective vectors for delivering gene therapies. The first-of-its-kind platform enables the vectors to be adapted to suit the specific gene therapy cargo.
The work, led by researchers from RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences and funded by Science Foundation Ireland, is published in Biomaterials Science.
A major challenge for gene therapies is preparing them in a way that can deliver the genetic information into the host cells. For the Covid-19 vaccines that use mRNA technology, the genetic information is delivered in a lipid nanoparticle to maintain its stability and deliver it into cells. The success of the COVID vaccines has established nanoparticles as key to the development of many advanced therapies.
