Specialized extracellular matrix structures known as perineuronal nets surround the soma and dendrites of many CNS neurons. Fawcett and colleagues provide an update on our current understanding of perineuronal net composition, formation and functional roles in brain function and disease.
Trump—flanked by larry ellison, sam altman, & masayoshi son—announces project stargate.
Trump announces Project Stargate, a $500 billion initiative backed by major tech leaders, aimed at revolutionizing U.S. AI infrastructure, creating jobs, and enhancing healthcare through advanced technologies. AI Infrastructure and Economic Impact.
🏗️Project Stargate, a $500+ billion AI infrastructure initiative, aims to construct colossal data centers and physical campuses across the US, potentially creating over 100,000 American jobs.
🌐The project will build physical and virtual infrastructure to power next-generation AI advancements, with Oracle, SoftBank, and Microsoft as key partners, establishing a new US-centered industry. ## Healthcare Applications.
S AI will enhance healthcare by providing doctors with condition-specific treatment plans based on data from top hospitals like Memorial Sloan Kettering and Stanford. ” + s cancer research focuses on early detection via blood tests, personalized vaccines designed using AI in 48 hours, and robotically-produced mRNA vaccines. ” +## Technological Advancements.
S AI-driven approach promises to accelerate cancer treatment development, potentially leading to unprecedented cure rates. ” + 📊The initiative will leverage AI to improve electronic health records, benefiting patients in underserved areas like Indian River Reservation.
“ tabindex=”0” acid UDCA can regulate tumor growth in mice with liver cancer. This discovery suggests that UDCA dietary supplements could offer a fast and effective way to improve outcomes for liver cancer patients.
Immunotherapy is an advanced cancer treatment that harnesses a patient’s immune system to target and destroy tumors. It has significantly improved outcomes for various cancers, including those of the lung, kidney, and bladder. However, its effectiveness against liver cancer has been notably limited—a concerning issue given that liver cancer rates have nearly tripled over the past 40 years.
Google DeepMind spinoff Isomorphic Labs expects research of drugs it designed using artificial intelligence will begin this year, according to its Nobel Prize-winning chief executive officer.
The rising trend of early-onset cancers in adults under 50, particularly women, is alarming. Genetic, lifestyle, and environmental factors contribute to this increase. Maintaining a healthy weight, quitting tobacco, avoiding alcohol, consuming fiber-rich foods, using sunscreen, and regular physical activity are small lifestyle changes that can significantly reduce cancer risk.
In future, doctors hope the technology could revolutionise the treatment of conditions such as depression, addiction, OCD and epilepsy by rebalancing disrupted patterns of brain activity.
Jacques Carolan, Aria’s programme director, said: “Neurotechnologies can help a much broader range of people than we thought. Helping with treatment resistant depression, epilepsy, addiction, eating disorders, that is the huge opportunity here. We are at a turning point in both the conditions we hope we can treat and the new types of technologies emerging to do that.”
