Synthetic Human Embryos
After earlier experiments on mice, it is now possible to create human embryos out of stem cells. This allows us to make human life without sperm or eggs. Since the experiments are limited by ethical concerns they stopped the growth of the embryo at an early stage. This research could lead to a better understanding — read more

Nahaufnahme vom Gehirn
Researchers at Duke’s Center for In Vivo Microscopy, in collaboration with other institutions, have achieved a breakthrough in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology, capturing the highest resolution images ever of a mouse brain. Using an incredibly powerful 9.4 Tesla magnet, 100 times stronger gradient coils than those used in clinical MRIs, and a high-performance computer, — read more

Organoid Intelligence: creating biological computers out of the human brain
A team of researchers published an article on their research on biocomputing. It goes in-depth about the potential of such systems and how to build them. The core idea is to grow brain tissue out of stem cells to use the high energy efficiency and ability to perform complex tasks with organoid-computer interfaces. Instead of — read more

Al used to develop CRISPR alternative
The NYU Grossman school of medicine published a paper that showed that by using AI it is possible to build zinc-finger protein structures that are as effective and fast as CRISPR and also a potentially safer alternative to CRISPR. This shows once again that AI and biology work perfectly together. — read more
