An impressive paper where entire human torso cross sections were imaged via ultrasound. I’m also curious if this has any ties to Midjourney’s announcement of a similar-sounding technology in their new biomedical division.
An ultrasound tomography system composed of a custom 512-element circular receiver array combined with a single-element transmitter that rotates around the participant enables whole cross-sectional ultrasound imaging of the human body.
An incredible paper by Meng et al. showing how the fluorescence of the flavoproteins iLOV and cryptochrome can be modulated by RF signals when held under certain magnetic fields. This work may provide a foundation for more RF tools which allow manipulation of biological processes.
Radio waves are shown to modulate fluorescence and associate spin chemistry in proteins.
Why does the immune system become less effective as we age? A new USC study published in BMC Biology offers fresh insights by examining a key immune cell type across tissues: macrophages.
Macrophages act as the body’s cleanup and maintenance crew. Found in nearly every tissue, they help fight infections, remove damaged cells, repair tissues and keep inflammation under control, acting as a first line of defense for the immune system. But like many cells in the body, macrophages change as we get older.
In this new study, researchers analyzed data from macrophages collected from different mouse tissues, including the brain, lungs, liver and other organs. By comparing younger and older animals, they uncovered common patterns of aging shared across many macrophage populations, as well as important differences depending on where the cells come from.
What if your brain isn’t producing your thoughts? What if it’s just receiving them?
For centuries, science has treated the brain like a \.
