Discovery of new kind of brain cell shakes up neuroscience and AI
From University of Lausanne 07/09/23 Neuroscience is in great upheaval. The two major families of cells that make up the brain, neurons and glial cells, secretly hid a hybrid cell, halfway between these two categories. For as long as Neuroscience has existed, it has been recognized that the brain works primarily thanks to the neurons […]
How old are you, really? AI can tell your true age by looking at your chest
From Osaka Metropolitan University 21/08/23 Could your chest reveal your age more accurately than your face? Scientists at Osaka Metropolitan University have created an advanced AI model that uses chest X-rays to estimate a person’s age and even detect potential chronic diseases. This breakthrough in medical imaging has the potential to revolutionize early disease detection […]
Regenerating tooth enamel moves closer with stem-cell advance
From University of Washington School of Medicine/UW Medicine 17/08/23 Organoids have now been created from stem cells to secrete the proteins that form dental enamel, the substance that protects teeth from damage and decay. A multi-disciplinary team of scientists from the University of Washington in Seattle led this effort. “This is a critical first step […]
