Giving lemurs the chance to use technology to share control of sensory experiences with zoo visitors can help create meaningful connections between humans and animals, groundbreaking new research suggests. The team behind the finding, from…
Shiitake-derived functional food shows suppression of liver fibrosis…
How AHCC might inhibit activation of hepatic stellate cells: AHCC seems to work on two pathways that lead to the suppression of liver fibrosis. Chronic liver damage can lead to hepatitis, which causes fibrosis of…
MIT researchers introduce Boltz-1, a fully open-source model…
With models like AlphaFold3 limited to academic research, the team built an equivalent alternative, to encourage innovation more broadly. CAMBRIDGE, MA – MIT scientists have released a powerful, open-source AI model, called Boltz-1, that could significantly accelerate…
Can Lab-Grown Neurons Exhibit Plasticity?
"Neurons that fire together, wire together" describes the neural plasticity seen in human brains, but neurons grown in a dish don't seem to follow these rules. Neurons that are cultured in-vitro form random and meaningless…
Ugh, my stomach: Identifying amino acids that prevent…
Food poisoning is a common, yet unpleasant, illness caused by eating contaminated items. It is sometimes caused by Clostridium perfringens, a pathogen widely found in soil and the intestinal tracts of animals. The pathogen multiplies in environments…
