Scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine have identified a surprising culprit that may contribute to dementia: free radicals generated in a particular region of brain support cells known as astrocytes. The study, published Nov. 4 in Nature Metabolism, found that blocking this specific site reduced inflammation and protected neurons. The results point toward a promising new…
Scientists have developed a new material that forms a gel capable of repairing and regenerating tooth enamel, paving the way for more effective and longer-lasting dental care. Researchers from the University of Nottingham’s School of Pharmacy and Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering created a bioinspired compound designed to restore enamel that has been eroded…

In a major step toward improving cancer treatment, researchers at Northwestern University have redesigned the molecular structure of a widely used chemotherapy drug, making it far more soluble, potent, and less toxic to the body. The scientists built a new form of the drug using spherical nucleic acids (SNAs), a type of nanostructure that embeds…
Memory problems may not be an unavoidable part of getting older. New findings from Virginia Tech reveal that age-related memory loss stems from specific molecular changes in the brain, and that fine-tuning these processes can help restore memory function. In two complementary studies, Timothy Jarome, an associate professor in the College of Agriculture and Life…

The real question is how effectively AgiBot’s algorithms can teach its robots new tricks. Using reinforcement learning to teach a robot tasks that require improvisation generally requires a lot of training data, and studies show it cannot be perfected entirely inside a simulation. AgiBot speeds up the learning process by having a human worker guide…
