Technology is advancing at an exponential rate often called the "Law of Accelerating Returns." If futurist predictions prove correct, we'll have advanced molecular manufacturing by around 2025, and possibly the replacement of humanity by vastly advanced machines a decade or two later.
This is a chronicle of our journey to that future, one advancing technology article at a time. I post the more significant and interesting articles as I come across them.

Scientists Flip an Alzheimer’s Risk Gene – and Reverse Key Hallmarks of the Disease
Yes, yes, yes!!
“The team designed a novel mouse model that lets researchers effectively “flip a switch,” converting the high-risk form of the gene (APOE4) into the protective version (APOE2) in adult animals.
Carrying the APOE4 variant can raise a person’s likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s by as much as 15 times. In contrast, individuals with APOE2 generally face lower risk and show better cognitive health as they age. In the study, activating the gene switch specifically in astrocytes led to notable improvements.”
