For much of history we’ve put computers to work. Now computers put humans (lab techs, specifically) to work. “As the first AI system to autonomously discover and validate a novel therapeutic candidate within an iterative lab-in-the-loop framework, Robin establishes a […]
This is remarkable. Vitamin D has long been a polarizing topic in nutrition science, so I wouldn’t treat this as conclusive. “Compared with taking placebo, taking vitamin D3 supplements significantly reduced telomere shortening over four years, preventing the equivalent of […]
“This blood test clearly identifies Alzheimer’s tau tangles [aka, neurofibrillary tangles], which is our best biomarker measure of Alzheimer’s symptoms and dementia,” said co-senior author Randall J. Bateman, MD, professor of neurology at WashU Medicine in the WashU news release.” […]
Here’s something neat… they do not require a power source. “The contact lens technology uses nanoparticles that absorb infrared light and convert it into wavelengths that are visible to mammalian eyes (e.g., electromagnetic radiation in the 400–700 nm range). The […]
“Maryland-based startup InventWood is set to mass-produce the first batches of ‘Superwood,’ a new material made of modified timber that’s stronger than regular barky stems, and even stronger than steel. It’s set to go on sale later this year.” ~ […]
“New York-based biopharmaceutical company OS Therapies (OST) is focused on developing immunotherapies for osteosarcoma and other solid tumors. And it’s utilizing comparative oncology to achieve its goal. The company recently announced it had formed a subsidiary, OS Animal Health, to […]
“In 2006, researchers at the University of Alberta tried to replicate a 1993 mouse study. But they found that the stress levels of their mice, when put through an anxiety-producing maze, differed from the original data. They attributed this discrepancy […]
This one cut me deep. My foundational belief in the placebo effect’s efficacy is shaken. It’ll take some more time and reading for me to fully come around to this point of view, but I am no longer going to […]
