every single connection mapped out shows the geopolitical reality. the on the board is what makes things the way they are mapped out, navigating a changing world. now on youtube, the new parents always want to know is my baby healthy in germany. newborn tested for a number of serious diseases. now, expos sunday, facing whether to test for more conditions using what's called a g nomic screening. this involves sequencing the babies and todd genetic makeup for disorders. but what are the ethical issues? and does it make sense? all of us and more on dw sonship. welcome to tomorrow. today. it's an ordinary day for antonia and her family. she's just finished taking her

medication. where should i put the bottle? put it away please. well albert, wearing antonia is 9 years old. she has to take medication 7 times a day. it used to be 10 times including at nights, often through a gastric to natural color. i can do it alone at school, but at home it's easy to forget what time to take. it is pretty much what i usually bring it to her. we go to the same school and it was, i don't think a centrally on tonia has system osis or rare genetic disorder that causes sustain crystal deform throughout her body. that leads to oregon damage, especially in the kidneys, in ice without treatment, the damage worse since over time. and i'm, i liked the music. my mom says there are some kinds of crystals inside me. that's why i need to use the eye drops. otherwise, she says my eyes will eventually go blind. i'm how to get them didn't 1st as

well, so we don't want that to control. yeah, but sure, but the eye drops are annoying. nasty out on tonia was diagnosed on her 1st birth thing for her parents. the news came as a shock, but it also allowed her to begin treatment, helping to prevent more serious organ damage. had she been diagnosed as a newborn her life to day might be very different. that one, cuz she does this, this. the difference is that she wouldn't have kidney damage kind of so i'm showing for the children. that means they don't need as much medication and daily life is easier for them and their families. so i mean, i've talked with enough for me that didn't come in for searchers help that in the future. serious genetic diseases will be diagnosed as early as possible after birth . a project based at the university hospitals, ohio back and mannheim, is exploring how this might work. the existing newborn screening program could

serve as a model every day. hundreds of blood samples from newborns are sent to idle bad weather tested for medical link disorders and a few genetic conditions. the researchers believe the screening could be expanded. it's supposed to be a 2 inch. fortunately to there have been significant advances in molecular genetic technology and the methods available to us codes. hudson mission today we could screen not just for 19 diseases, but for thousands or even hundreds of them. screen. in theory, analyzing a newborn's entire genome could become routine that would only require a few drops of blood. and full genome analysis is becoming increasingly affordable, seo, intensive, homeless. initially, the goal of the screening isn't to filter out children. what we aim to do is diagnose effective babies and children as early as possible. thank site visit site to check and that's different from prenatal screening. for the focus, my be honest,

ruminating a pregnancy didn't see that's not the purpose of our programming. so ben, how about the home key to see the whole? even postnatal diagnostics for newborns is complex and raises many questions that's following the new lives project brings together experts from several fields including ethics, law, psychology, genetics, and pediatric medicine. one key concern is what happens to the data after newborns are tested. how should it be stored and protected by this all? and that is 5 surveys of parents have shown that this is a major concern. and so have studies carried out by international projects. no one wants their child's genome to be exposed in a data leak or debate misused in some other way. but another important question is which diseases should be included in the screening stomach manish types cream. if the screening is too broad, then all will be able to say to parents as your child might or might not develop this condition that would place a heavy burden on them,

leaving them anxious and worried. and we want to limit the screening to genetic disorders that have a very high risk of actually manifesting themselves. that's why the researchers have devised strict criteria for which diseases to include. and the screening program is for once guns. and that's to be a for us, it's very clear about me on the suite. only want to identifying genetic variants that cause genetic disorders that manifest and early childhood food and keep this money fist in. and we aim to identify diseases where early screening or treatment could significantly improve outcomes or even lead to a tourist or to come to that to kind of get in. okay. so any diagnosis made through screening must have a direct impact on treatment. well, this seems reasonable, that also means withholding diagnoses that could still be important to families. take the romero, family, 70 world kiara has

a rare genetic disorder called do 15 q syndrome. children born with this condition can have a range of complex disabilities including autism, spectrum disorder, and epilepsy. m. it's 6 more mountain park there. she was 6 months old when she had her 1st seizure and, and the team. we went to the hospital, but they missed diagnosed it as a re fox and sent us home safely, things escalated quickly after that. when done and i had some kids aside. she was having a 1000 seizures a day, and we went through a long and difficult journey to finally get a diagnosis. yeah, gnostic for rena romero says, the speed of diagnosis often depends on the medical team and the persistence of the parents. a diagnosis is crucial because it allows parents to build a support network and manage symptoms more effectively shielding parents from a diagnosis. does that make sense? even if it takes time for the disease to become symptomatic, coma, the trauma as an eval no matter when i find out about the diagnosis, whether it's at birth or 30 years old,

it might change the reality. the disability is there and it won't go away. getting sick, the specialist and titled back in mannheim has chosen to focus on a clearly defined set of criteria as we understand them item difficulty. i personally believe it's best to proceed step by step. i'm introducing, as you know, make screening program for newborns would be a major step for our health care system. is 1516 on file. so believe we have the right to know if i should be fully the right not to know certain things, including genetic information, need to change from up to on the seat. the researchers are committed to upholding that right, well also maintaining and the flexibility to expand the screening criteria. but it will still take years before genetic screening for newborns is widely introduced in germany. new lives will conclude in 2025 with other pilot projects set to follow for the tense family that would be welcome news. while antonia's organ damage can't

be undone, other children could be diagnosed and treated as newborns. allowing them to lead a more carefree life. wild, irritable, stubborn, or cheerful nature on jeans. i'm new to our environment. help shape us. but what is that you determines our personality? that's where a studies of twins come in. when 2 people are genetically the same and grew up in the same environment. well, they end up with identical personality traits for us on and to is a new hundreds and the olympic training center in heidelberg is a home away from home. the identical twins are members of the german national boxing team. they share the same genes and the same passion for boxing, but they're not exactly the same. was a new is to minutes younger than his brother. he self critical discipline and

conscientious us on the older twin is 2 centimeters taller. he's even tempered optimistic and theory. and don't give him when we're with friends on the quiet or lines though. if i don't like something i always try to get my way. that's. if he's more determined than i am, image can do that for me. the little things that go a bit wrong. feel incredibly dramatic, and for him is just no, well, it happens. it's supposed to be. i don't go looking for conflict, but i don't avoid it either a song, but our son was always the one who got in the most trouble. how soon and was a new were born in gambia when they were for their biological father passed away. their mother thought to move to germany to earn a living while the twins stayed with extended family in gambia. in germany, 5 to re married and her new husband adopted us on tuesday. know that age 8 the twins joins them mother in germany. do they share the same genes and past their

personalities aren't identical? so how did those differences come about? what role your genetics and environment play in shaping our personalities. at the university of a loan you appear to be in raleigh is conducting research on that question. is work focuses on a specific trade risk tolerance, a trait that can be relevant for athletics, but also have an impact on health finances and other domains. and risk taking behavior or risk tolerance might apply to all of these domains and might apply differently. so what we try to get in our study was a general underlying trait that is kind of coming across different domains. in 2019 pietro bureau, you conducted a study using data from a 1000000 people to participants answered questions like,

do you consider yourself a cautious or an adventurous person? and would you describe yourself as someone willing to take risks? the study also add allies to participants. genomes, human dna is made up of a chain of base pairs and about 99.9 percent of the sequence is identical in all humans. that remaining point one percent accounts for our differences. these variations in the human genome are called single nucleotide polymorphisms, or snips. these variants can explain not only physical traits such as here, a die color, but also personality differences. p toby rowley has identified which snaps are linked to risk tolerance. what we end up finding is that we identified a $124.00 snips a $124.00 genetic ariens that were strongly associated with the and robustly

associated with risk tolerance. and these were scattered throughout the genome. 12 to 22 chromosomes out a single chromosomes and they were in 99 different low side, low sites in the juno. so it's not just one but a large number of snaps that influence risk taking behavior. that discovery can also help explain other personality traits. only a handful of snips have a direct impact like those that determine high color, most snips only contribute to a genetic predisposition. if there is an environment that is receptive to disinclination, these genetic differences might lighten and might lead to even further differences . and so the environment like a lens could they could increase these differences, asking whether it's more genes or more environment. or there is someone else who said, you know, a genes load,

the gun and lifestyle pulled the trigger. in other words, our personalities are shaped by both our genes and our environment. but personality isn't set in stone. it can change over time. we can build on favorable genetic traits and compensate for less favorable ones. in the sports world, certain personality traits can spell the difference between victory and defeat. the twins are unusually courageous and determined. they train for hours each day, which demands both physical and mental stamina. and the only thing to succeed in this sports, you need a lot of willpower and a lot of discipline right from the beginning of august. some dialogue of using zine for book boxing takes a certain kind of personality. i mean, who willingly let himself get punched in the face. it's pretty crazy. it shouldn't matter.

the about 5 percent of all accounts is i'll believe to be heard, to treat people who inhabit a genetic predisposition have a higher risk of being diagnosed with cancer over the lifetime. one of us mouth janice done has a question about how can you avoid getting cancer? it can develop almost anywhere in the body. a range of different factors can play a role in causing cancer. and while many kinds i'm not preventable, there are things you can do to reduce your risk of developing it. doctors list smoking as the greatest risk factor. around one in 5 comes the diagnoses as being attributed to it. the alcohol is

also a major risk factor. for a long time expense underestimate the link between obesity in cancer, but many countries are now seeing a rise in bell cancer among young adults. anyone who is a beast by the age of 20 has more than twice the risk of developing counts as someone of average weight. and for those who remain a base, the risk increases with every year. what's called visceral abdominal fence is particularly problematic. it surrounds the internal ink ends and leads to chronic inflammation which can promote human development. fat cells also release estrogen which can stimulate cancer, cell grace, and people who are overweight to produce excess into that, which is another risk factor. so it makes sense to reduce body fat, particularly around the belly. you can do this to exercise.

and spite eating a balanced diet. second, so you dislike broccoli, rad issues. brussel, sprouts, all white cabbage comes to fighting prophecies. fairies and apples also contain self protecting substances. as to medicinal and aromatic trumps like garlic, ginger fronting around 40 percent discount, says could be prevented by a healthy lifestyle that counts that can arise due to many causes among them, pollutants and genetic scientists. that's why it's important to have regular medical screenings, etc, available. if element is read, why do you have a science question? send it to us by video, text or voice mail. if we answer it on the show, we'll send you a little surprised as the thank you. so go on. just ask one

day, soon, these little green circles might be a potent weapon against the concept that tiny robots that can be instructed to navigate their way to specific cells. the medical micro robots were developed. it's a technical, university of munich, pioneering team of researches. this reddish brown liquid contains around a 1000000 micro robots. professor bana is collect 8 a month and her team can guide them under the microscope between clusters of human cells, the success of english ones it is. yeah, our micro robots are round inside the similar to cells. they can move, they can stimulate individual cells and they can be controlled wirelessly. you're kind of in a wireless danica or what's on the concert in the micro robots are about half the

diameter of human hair and are controlled by physical and chemical processes. rather than computer encased in biomaterial derived from algebra, they're essentially invisible to human cells. in the future, they could deliver targeted substances and surface therapy to tools. they can have some um, specific properties like we observe. so we tend to inject some goals and on the particles to have some certainly effects to functionalize our microtubules. one of the goals is to contribute to cancer research. the micro robots can be instructed to attach to a counselor. so seeing here in blue and yellow, once heated with a laser, they can transfer that thermal energy to the cell which could make it more receptive to treatment, may come to the question is, how can we study cancer cells in a lab setting and how did they respond to different temperatures or other factors, but the, this isn't directly about cancer treatment. what we're aiming to do is understand individual cancer cells better in the lab, which could help in developing more effective drugs and therapy. so the tools f

austin's one day these micro robots could serve as a transport system. they could deliver drugs to specific cells or even help repair damaged organs by delivering tissues. i'm trying to encapsulates the time, so those sound solves will be the same shape into parts, cells, adults, cardiac cells. and then maybe we can use these micro jonas's, the tools for cell injection, for some software p forage in there. for now, the munich, based by the engineers, are working with the tissue cold tricks and petri dishes. but soon, millions of these micro robots could be navigating the human body, helping to treat cancer and other diseases. now, we'll dive into a completely different well, virtual one that creates an interactive experience for all the senses. one day you

might find it in a museum at school or in vocational training, pull in medicine engineering for aerospace, cutting edge technology, that's helping realities go virtual meano's king, that's great. welcome you hear it can also has the world of virtual reality. these players are their avatars for navigating the legendary labyrinth of the minutes or from outside the set. this all looks a bit peculiar, but it's the creation of cutting edge technology. virtual reality hardware and software are integrated directly into the b r headsets, allowing for seamless communication that allows the players or their avatars to interact with each other and the digital environment. it's more than just the game,

mino, x, r, n e, and did flagship project aims to explore. the full potential of the technology must be here. and because we've developed here is a highly innovative, extended reality game experience, game experience. but the technology behind it has broad applications. for example, in fields like medicine and therapeutic application for the to help were extended reality could significantly reduce costs, increased costs, you could say got this, i think i'm kind of gets, can you still get a vote on? i'm in control and would love to give it a try and visa for riley will be guiding me through the labyrinth of the mandatory after which briefing on the technology covered venture begins. visa has transformed herself into a, me know, and one. for now, everything seems calm, but this unfamiliar world somehow commands respect. we carefully make our way through an arrow passage way. the tension builds as we have to balance on some

loose beings above the deep abyss. my fear of heights escaped. did i turn the wheels to open the next door? next to us, we encounter one of our predecessors, or rather what remains of him. i take his sword with me. and here he is the miniature and had moved from the looks of it. long ago i decided against doing military service, but the minute toward gives me no choice. i am forced to battle these pretty good channels, but help us on the way the mailing these on shoppable as well really exhausting recently. it's amazing and it's a 3 dimensional experience. the fear of heights that you feel, and even though you know you're not actually on solid ground, for one bodies,

you'd sent incredibly intense, a really intense experience it as, as insane. didn't see this confusing student and see the file guns also good news. and what's remarkable about this project is that up to 4 players can be part of the experience at the same time, sees it, and talk to multi player interaction. and virtual reality is still relatively new in terms of it's a technology that's coming to good network communication between the b r headsets as a challenge photo. and that's what we're focusing on, making it faster and smoother. and so that for people really can interact with each other simultaneously in the virtual world to again con, motion capture is a well known technology for animating characters, including the minutes or the desperation on the face of the mentors. mother is captured with a smartphone you must be curse to tell you. right off the clock. so we offer you a great deal of attention to detail

has gone in to designing the labyrinth and the characters in the game. our director electric pollution to also have to take technical limitations into account for the fall app. and we have to keep the data size smaller for the head size, which meant simplifying things on time that somebody else did for a stylized look rather than a photo realistic. one touch to the same technology used in the labyrinth game is also used in this team. building software from austria and company pally cooler. and this to the version on tablets. players work together to solve challenges on an alien spaceship and gain control of the craft. it's just exercise in teamwork. some vice below kimberly islands provide. when you are an apprentice, you might find yourself working in different departments, so with different people and they might use a different

a convent already. but you do that or approach problems in different ways. many of them permission to continue to just look up a lot on the game and try some foster awareness of those issues. sorry for calling sensibility to show the possibilities of extended reality. you seem almost limitless, whether in education, vocational training, or cultural experiences, fashion processors and affordable hardware are making it more accessible. the trend is moving towards and increasingly more vivid, digital environments and, and immersive digital experience. and most eve, i, as in most of the names and fully engaged with all my senses, i feel like i'm at home in this new virtual world food and even feels like i can receive things like temperature and moisture and my body becomes an advertise. we've already seen in the game we're developing here, who should be of us be here and because extended reality is a digital illusion. for me, it was a real experience and experience. i look forward to repeating the thought. so for

now, we hope you enjoyed the show and thanks for watching. take care and see you again soon on tomorrow today. by the, [000:00:00;00]
