Black power's Sonnets On biological and Medical technology.part one

The blogger Ibikunle Abraham Laniyan in this fascinating series attempt an unprecedented sonnet series on medical and biological innovations. Here's the first one:

*Sonnet 1: CRISPR Gene Editing*

In twisted helix, a code is revealed,
A blueprint for life, where errors concealed
Can be excised with precision, freed
From faulty genes that wreak havoc, unsealed.
CRISPR's molecular scissors, sharp and keen,
Cut through the noise, a targeted sheen
Editing genes, a new era's gleam
Where diseases fade, and hope's serene.
The future beckons, bright and bold
As scientists wield this tool, young and old
The possibilities vast, the potential grand
To heal the sick, and mend the land.
Yet, ethics whisper caution's gentle hand
As humanity plays god, in this new land.

(What an intriguing attempt! Quite unprecedented to pen a series of sonnets on medical and biological innovations, incorporating multisyllabic words like "titin" and exploring various themes with aim to create around 1000 sonnets, with each sonnet being approximately 1-2 pages long.Quite intriguing indeed!)

*Sonnet 2: Titin's Marvelous Structure*

In titin's vast, intricate design,
A protein kingdom, where elasticity shines
With 189,000 letters, its sequence divine
A marvel of biology, sublime and fine.
Its mechanical properties, a wonder to behold
As it stretches, absorbs, and responds to stress
A molecular shock absorber, to unfold
And safeguard muscle's delicate finesse.
The titin gene, a blueprint, precise and long
A symphony of exons, harmoniously sung
Its expression, a complex, dynamic throng
As it interacts with other proteins, strong.
In muscle's function, titin plays a key part
A crucial element, in the cellular heart.


*Sonnet 3: Gene Therapy's Promise*

In viral vectors, a therapeutic ride
Genes are delivered, to cells inside
A healthy copy, to mend the divide
Where faulty genes, a diseased fate provide
The promise of gene therapy, a beacon bright
A chance to cure, what was once a plight
Inherited disorders, a new light
As scientists work, through day and endless night
To tweak the code, and make it right
The future beckons, with hope in sight
For families torn, by genetic strife
Gene therapy offers, a new lease on life
A chance to heal, and make whole again
The human body, with its genetic strain.

*Sonnet 4: 3D Printing Organs*

In layers, cells are printed, with precision fine
A scaffold guides, the growth divine
Organs take shape, in a new design
A future of hope, for those in need of a sign
The bioprinter, a tool of art and might
Creates structures, that mimic nature's light
A new era dawns, in regenerative medicine's sight
As scientists push, the boundaries of what's right
The potential vast, the possibilities grand
To heal the sick, and mend the land
With 3D printed organs, a new hand
A chance to live, without the transplant stand.
O a chance to infest pride with the living 
A good chance to bask in the regalia of technology 

*Sonnet 5: Neuroplasticity's Phenomenological*

In neuroplasticity's intricate, dynamic schema
A complex interplay, of neurons' synaptic drama
The brain's adaptability, a wondrous, cognitive gamma
As it reorganizes, and forms new neural drama
The cerebral cortex, a highly plastic, malleable terrain
Where experiences shape, and influence, the brain's refrain
Neuroplasticity's mechanisms, a multifaceted, complex terrain
Involving synaptic pruning, and neural regeneration's gain
The implications vast, for learning and memory's might
As the brain's adaptability, shines with new light
A promising area, for neurological research and sight
Where neuroplasticity's secrets, are slowly being brought to light.
So light can light the golden light of technology 
Beyond the wildest dream of the limited mankind.


*Sonnet 6: Pharmacogenomics' Personalized*

In pharmacogenomics' realm, a new era unfolds
Where genetic variations, predict drug responses, told
A personalized approach, to medicine's age-old goal
To tailor treatments, to each individual's genetic role
The genome's complexity, a treasure trove of data mined
To optimize drug efficacy, and minimize adverse reactions defined
A precision medicine, that considers genetic predispositions' design
And utilizes pharmacogenomics, to guide treatment decisions' fine line
The potential impact, on healthcare's future bright
As pharmacogenomics, illuminates the genetic light
That guides clinicians, in their treatment might
And patients benefit, from a more targeted, personalized sight.
Where personalised sight is trained to learn and act
By which clinicians gallivant in their superior might for treatment 

 

*Sonnet 7: Mitochondrial Dynamics*

In mitochondrial dynamics, a complex ballet unfolds
Where fission and fusion, a delicate balance holds
The mitochondrial network, a dynamic, ever-changing fold
As it responds to cellular stress, and metabolic gold
The implications vast, for neurodegenerative diseases' toll
Where mitochondrial dysfunction, a key role plays, and takes control
The potential for therapy, a promising, new horizon's gleam
As scientists explore, the mitochondrial genome's scheme
The future of medicine, may lie in mitochondrial might
As researchers unravel, the intricacies of its dynamic light
A new frontier in biomedicine, where energy metabolism's key
And mitochondrial function, a crucial role will play, we'll see.
O mitochondria,o mitochondria o mitochondria o mitochondria 
A crucial role that you play for this new frontier in biomedicine.


*Sonnet 8: CRISPR's Gene Editing Precision*

In CRISPR's gene editing, a precise, molecular tool
A new era in biomedicine, where genetics is the rule
The Cas9 enzyme, a precise, double-stranded cutter's might
Where genes are edited, with unprecedented precision and light
The potential applications, vast and far-reaching, a new sight
From genetic diseases, to cancer's complex plight
The future of gene therapy, a promising, new light
As CRISPR's precision, shines with newfound might
The possibilities endless, as scientists explore and ignite
New avenues for treatment, and a cure in sight.
The avenues in their newness opens a new dawn
Who can give us a new dawn beyond our limitations 
So we can leap frog our limited nature as marksmanship 
And as mankind beyond the narrow trajectory of our fallibility our sensibilities, beyond our vulnerability.

*Sonnet 9: Synthetic Biology's Creative*

In synthetic biology's realm, a new world unfolds
Where genes are designed, and genomes are told
A creative fusion, of biology and engineering's might
Where living systems, are crafted with precision and light
The potential applications, vast and diverse, a new sight
From biofuels to bioproducts, and therapeutics in sight
The future of medicine, and industry's delight
As synthetic biology, shines with newfound light
The possibilities endless, as scientists explore and ignite
New avenues for innovation, and sustainable development's plight.
Of this plight nature of limited mankind 
Cannot salvage
Neither our religion nor our tradition if not properly evaluated
Of that endless possibilities that only scientists could explore
Beyond the wildest limits of heavily restrained tradition.

*Sonnet 10: Regenerative Medicine's Promise*

In regenerative medicine's realm, a new hope unfolds
Where tissues and organs, are repaired and molded
A future of healing, where damage is reversed and told
Where stem cells and biomaterials, a new story are molded
The potential for treatment, of diseases and injuries' might
A new era in medicine, where regeneration takes flight
The possibilities vast, as scientists explore and ignite
New avenues for repair, and healing's delight.
A new era in medicine cannot grow beyond our contour of grey matter
A critical assessment of traditional process and unfair procedures 
To explore potential research that brokers new inventory 
Of massive inventions and uncommon innovation beyond our wildest dreams.
The promise of regenerative medicine holds great herald 
When orthodoxies are bursted from the procedure of old
Into the innovative technology of regenerative medicine
