It seems that everyone is getting ready to embrace the metaverse, with more corporations and agencies supporting the online platform. Capitalizing on the world’s interest, Meta announced that they will be opening 10 metaverse campuses as part of a project.

With more universities accepting digital media and making courses about them, having schools focused on the online platform makes sense. Are people going to widely accept this as a form of education from here on out? Let’s wait and see.

In many cases, medicine has found ways to treat the symptoms of these degenerative conditions – such as using analgesics to alleviate osteoarthritis pain or corrective lenses or surgery to improve vision. But medicine still has not found a way to cure the underlying diseases.

Making stem cells from a patient’s adult cells – rather than human embryos – is one of the holy grails in modern medicine treatments. New research brings us two steps closer.

Biotech start-up Pretzel Therapeutics launched Monday with $72.5 million in Series A financing to develop novel, mitochondria-based therapies for rare genetic disorders and diseases of aging.

Pretzel plans to target mitochondrial diseases, a highly heterogenous group of conditions caused by DNA mutations in the mitochondria or the nucleus. These disorders are very rare, afflicting around one in 5,000 people.

Pretzel CEO Jay Parrish told BioSpace the funding “should enable us to get close to the clinic if not into the clinic with one or more programs.”

This #ameca demo couples automated speech recognition with GPT 3 — a large language model that generates meaningful answers — the output is fed to an online TTS service which generates the voice and visemes for lip sync timing. The team at Engineered Arts ltd pose the questions.

Nothing in this video is pre scripted — the model is given a basic prompt describing Ameca, giving the robot a description of self — its pure #ai.

Matthew Dons was just 36 when he diagnosed with terminal cancer. Six years on he looks back on the adoptive cell transfer therapy techniques doctors in Japan carried out which he credits with saving his life.

Long-range interactions between electronically excited molecules and molecules at the ground state were found for distances of much more than 100 nm, as indicated by the dependence of the fluorescence lifetime on the concentration of dyes in diluted solutions. In contrast to this experimental result, the fluorescence lifetimes of distant isolated molecules should be independent from the concentration according to basic theory for light emission, such as that reported by Förster and Strickler–Berg. As a consequence, the theory of such emission should be modified for real systems to include electromagnetic interactions with distant resonating structures. Consequences of these findings concern many subjects, such as imaging methods (FLIM) in biochemistry.

They dislike virtual reality development.

“Several federal law enforcement sources told CNN the package contained a rambling note that criticized Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and the relationship between academic institutions and the developers of virtual reality.”
