A machine learning pipeline named ARTEMIS captures how the landscape of repeat genomic sequences shifts in patients with cancer, and could facilitate earlier detection and monitoring of tumor progression.

ARTEMIS is a new approach to characterizing genome-wide repeat elements in cancer and cell-free DNA.
Apple acquired Canada-based company DarwinAI earlier this year to build out its AI team, reports Bloomberg. DarwinAI created AI technology for inspecting components during the manufacturing process, and it also had a focus on making smaller and more efficient AI systems.
DarwinAIâs website and social media accounts have been taken offline following Appleâs purchase. Dozens of former DarwinAI companies have now joined Appleâs artificial intelligence division. AI researcher Alexander Wong, who helped build DarwinAI, is now a director in Appleâs AI group.
Devin, SIMA, Figure 1, all in 24 hours. What does it mean and are AI models taking the wheel? Iâll go through 5 relevant papers and 11 articles to get you all the relevant details, from what exactly Devin accomplished, and didnât, to DeepMindâs new AGI-attempt-in-3D (SIMA) to just how far AI agents have come and what that means for the future of jobs. Theyâll also be a guest star ⊠discussing ⊠me?

Intel wants to stay ahead of the performance game in the PC chip market, a throne that it often used to sit on before AMD and Appleâs new chips blew it out of the competition. But now it has again solidified its hold on the desktop performance crown with the release of its new Core i9-14900KS processor.
Launching it as a âspecial editionâ release, the new chip represents a massive jump from last yearâs top performer, Intelâs Core i9-13900KS. What is its top clock speed? Well out-of-the-box, it hits a maximum clock speed of 6.2GHz. This makes it the undisputed fastest consumer-grade desktop processor currently available.
These small particles that look like dust to the naked eye are highly detailed and can be customized to suit a wide variety of needs ranging from microfluidics to vaccine delivery and even microelectronics, a press release has said.
3D printing or additive manufacturing at a macroscale level has matured at the market level, where items like shoes, hearing aids, and even household goods can be made using this technique.
A new type of solar cell made using selenium and silicon could offer a cost advantage while also delivering energy conversion efficiency.
The results highlight the potential of using whole liver perfusion systems to evaluate early stage AAV-based therapies.
âViruses, infections, and pandemics have become recurrent features in our lives, profoundly impacting human existence and even extending their reach to animals. Despite this, accessible, rapid, and affordable virus detection methods have been lacking,â said Xingcai Zhang, PhD, researcher, Harvard University, told GEN. âOur study aims to visualize viral infection states, predict infection duration, unravel the infection process, explore inhibition methods, and contribute to understanding viral disease transmission and pathogenesis.â
Viral infection of cells causes stress resulting in cell morphology differences over time. This study leveraged those known morphological changes to discern between infected and non-infected cells in culture. The standard practice for identifying infected cells, the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay, requires the use of reagent treatments and chemical reactions which can take upwards of 40 hours per sample, which is destroyed in the process.
The method proposed in this paper uses a lensless light diffraction platform to detect diffraction patterns, which can be used to extract information such as contrast and inverse differential moment which are used to create diffraction fingerprints. The fingerprints can be monitored continuously in the same samples as there is no inherent damage to cells.
Joint research led by Yu Toyoshima and Yuichi Iino of the University of Tokyo has demonstrated individual differences in, and successfully extracted commonalities from, the whole-brain activity of roundworms. The researchers also found that computer simulations based on the whole-brain activity of roundworms more accurately reflect real-brain activity when they include so-called ânoise,â or probabilistic elements. The findings were published in the journal PLOS Computational Biology.
The roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans is a favorite among neuroscientists because its 302 neurons are completely mapped. This gives a fantastic opportunity to reveal their neural mechanism at a systems level. Thus far, scientists have been making progress in revealing the different states and patterns of each neuron and the assemblies they form. However, how these states and patterns are generated has been a less explored frontier.
First, the team of scientists measured the neural activity of each cell that makes up a primitive brain in the roundwormsâ head area. To achieve this, the worms were placed in a microfluidic chip, a tiny device designed for worms to be able to âwiggleâ backward and forward while keeping them within the field of view of the objective lens. Then, using a confocal microscope, the scientists filmed how the neurons reacted to changes in salt concentrations.
A person who lost their uterus to cancer, for example, could have an embryo created in the lab, like in IVF, but implant it in an artificial womb for gestation, rather than using a human surrogate, which is an ethically fraught practice.
By eliminating the need for surrogacy, artificial wombs could also make it easier for gay couples to have biological children. Further on the horizon, if scientists can replicate their success creating embryos from the DNA of same-sex mice in people, any two people might one day be able to have biological children related to both of them.
Artificial wombs would fill in the critical gap between IVF and incubators. They donât yet exist outside of science fiction, but theyâre getting closer to reality.
