Credit: Axios An international team of scientists has created comprehensive maps of the genetic, cellular, and structural components of both the human brain and the nonhuman primate brain. This mapping, made possible by funding from the National Institutes of Health's Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies® Initiative (The BRAIN Initiative®), provides a deeper understanding of...
Credit: Medical Express A "multiome" atlas revealing brain cell development from fetal to adult stages has been generated by a research team from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and Yale University School of Medicine. This atlas simultaneously examines various genetic information types in the same biological sample, including the genome, transcriptome, and...
Fourier is working to ship 100 GR-1 robots to early customers by the end of the yearFourier Intelligence While Tesla's Optimus robot demonstrates fresh skills in sorting and balancing during one-legged yoga, Fourier Intelligence, a Singaporean firm, has unveiled a video revealing the manufacturing journey of its incredibly robust GR-1 humanoid. Fourier asserts that the GR-1...
Pixaobay A recently developed computer-trained scent model has surpassed human capabilities in odor recognition. Furthermore, when it came to examining 500,000 potential odor molecules that had never been synthesized before, it efficiently accomplished a task that would typically require 70 person-years of effort. The Complex Journey to Replicate Smell While machines have made significant strides in replicating...
n a new study, scientists have successfully transplanted genetically-modified pig kidneys into a human patient and shown that kidney function is maintained for at least a week. Credit: Pixaobay Researchers have proven that human recipients of genetically modified pig kidneys experience viable function for at least seven days post-transplantation, showing no indications of rejection. This...

According to confidential individuals familiar with the project, these advanced chatbots, now in the prototype phase, are destined to transform discussions into human-level exchanges. This revolutionary set of chatbots, known internally as "personas," is...
Credit: Pixaobay The possibility of using kangaroo tissue for knee reconstruction is nearing reality, as human trials are scheduled to begin in 2024. "I've consistently maintained that kangaroos represent nature's most exceptional athletes," states Dr. Nick Hartnell, an orthopedic surgeon and one of the study's authors. "These creatures truly stand out with their remarkable abilities, capable...
A new study has pinpointed the genes that shape our skeletons. Credit: The University of Texas at Austin Researchers from The University of Texas at Austin and New York Genome Center have harnessed AI (artificial intelligence) to analyze an extensive collection of X-ray images and genetic sequences, identifying genes responsible for shaping various aspects of...
Tight junctions between cells may play a critical role in gastrulation in human embryos. As a human embryo develops, a group of molecules guides cell multiplication and specialization, positioning them within the embryo. During gastrulation, these molecules guide embryonic stem cells to form three distinct layers, which later develop into various body parts. Firstly, researchers...

This study helps us understand how they see and understand each other and their surroundings better. It shows that a part of the brain called the temporal lobe is key...
