Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the brain processes visual information for over a century. The development of computational models inspired by the brain's layered organization, also ...

Researchers have used stem cells to develop new human embryolike structures that model the earliest stages of fetal development so realistically that they even secrete hormones that can turn a lab ...

Formation of the energy-producing machinery in the proximal tubule of the nephron is an essential step in differentiation. The authors show that mitochondrial localization depends on LRRK2, the ...

For decades, animal models have been the gold standard for preclinical testing of potential drugs. Yet, even the best animal models are not perfect. For example, small rodent species with engrafted ...

Researchers have used naïve pluripotent stem cells to create an embryo model that looks and acts like a natural human embryo. They say it’s an ethical way of gaining a better understanding of ...

Large language models repeatedly chased losses, escalated risk and even bankrupted themselves in simulated gambling ...

A frequently reported fact in the drug discovery and development industry is that approximately 90 % of drug candidates reaching clinical trials fail, with even higher amounts discarded before ...

A new study suggests AI models like ChatGPT and Claude consistently overestimate how rational humans really are, leading them ...

The next step in the evolution of generative AI technology will rely on ‘world models’ to improve physical outcomes in the ...

Some newly reported clumps of cells growing in lab dishes have been hailed as the closest things to human embryos that scientists have ever made in the lab. These entities are human embryo models — ...

The world has now learned of a surprising scientific advance: so-called “synthetic embryos.” Their arrival promises to reveal to medicine previously hidden glimpses into problems of early pregnancy.

Corporations are using AI in many different ways — some to address our world's most pressing issues and others in controversial manners that promote waste and questionable ethics. As the New York Post ...
