31. Evolution Traditional ink fingerprints typically contain rolled and flat prints Today, digital scanners capture an image of the fingerprint. To create a digital fingerprint, a person places his or her finger on an optical or silicon reader surface and holds it there for a few seconds. The reader converts the information from the scan into digital data patterns. The computer then maps points on the fingerprints and uses those points to search for similar patterns in the database. 32nd batch - Faculty Of Medicine, Uni. of Ruhuna

43. New Gene Therapy to Reverse Heart Failure The therapy works by raising diminished levels of the protein S100A1, a calcium-sensing protein in the diseased heart muscle cell, to normal. Previous research suggests this will prevent against heart failure development, particularly in people who have had a heart attack 32nd batch - Faculty Of Medicine, Uni. of Ruhuna
47. Gene therapy reversesParkinson”s symptoms In patients with Parkinson's disease, their brains get overactive after losing the normal supply of a chemical called GABA. Scientists have developed a novel gene therapy called NLX-P101. 32nd batch - Faculty Of Medicine, Uni. of Ruhuna
