Researchers reveal an ancient mechanism for wound repair

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

It’s a dangerous world out there. From bacteria and viruses to accidents and injuries, threats surround us all the time. And nothing protects us more steadfastly than our skin. The barrier between inside and out, the body’s largest organ is also its most seamless defense.

And yet the skin is not invincible. It suffers daily the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, and it tries to keep us safe by sensing and responding to these harms. A primary method is the detection of a pathogen, which kicks the immune system into action. But new research from the lab of Rockefeller’s Elaine Fuchs, published in Cell, reveals an alternative protective mechanism that responds to injury signals in wounded tissue—including low oxygen levels from blood vessel disruption and scab formation—and it doesn’t need an infection to get into gear.

The study is the first to identify a damage response pathway that is distinct from but parallel to the classical pathway triggered by pathogens.

What Can You Learn From ‘The Mass,’ a Short Film Made by AI in 24 Hours

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

What can I say? I found that thoroughly entertaining, and the animation style to be a little jerky but engrossing. The AI tools used to create this short are Elevenlabs, Runwayml’s GEN2, and ChatGPT-4.


This is interesting. The thing that stuck with me was the fact that the “mass” appearance and texture is consist in the different vignettes, what allows it to be the character it was intended to be as per the script. I wonder if this was achieved by frame referencing the prompt of additional vignettes with was originally created.

AI-Powered Characters Changing The Game

Posted by in categories: education, robotics/AI

Gamers have been clamoring for better non-player characters (NPCs) for years, and the arrival of conversational AI may finally provide the computing superpower to make it possible. Several companies are now using natural language processing AI for games and entertainment, customer service, training and education. Mindverse’s MindOS targets enterprise, while Inworld helps game designers create AI powered NPCs (non player characters), which they describe as “Mind as a Service” (MaaS).

I saw Inworld’s extraordinary AI at work while attending the Disney Accelerator demo last fall where Inworld powered a very, very chatty and diplomatic 3CPO robot.
