The findings suggest that isoalloLCA may contribute to a healthy gut by preventing the growth of bad bacteria.
They also suggest that these bacteria or their bile acids could treat or prevent C. difficile infection in people, Honda said, although more research would be needed to show this.
These bacteria could contribute to a healthy gut and, in turn, healthy aging.
TOKYO — Centenarians have unique gut bacteria that enables them to live to a ripe old age, according to new research. Scientists in Japan say this unique gut makeup fuels bile acids that protect against disease.
The discovery could lead to yogurts and other probiotic foods that increase longevity.
“In people over the age of 100, an enrichment in a distinct set of gut microbes generate unique bile acids,” says lead author Professor Kenya Honda of Keio University in a statement per South West News Service. “They might inhibit the growth of pathogens.”
It’s no secret that SpaceX’s Starship Super Heavy Booster will be an absolute beast. The rocket stage, meant to launch the also-huge Starship spacecraft into orbit, will be sporting an outrageous number of individual rocket engines — 29 to be exact — making it one of the biggest rocket boosters in history.
A photo shared by SpaceX CEO Elon Musk today on Twitter shows the sheer scale of the operation — and how far the space company has come in building the first flight-and orbit-worthy prototype.
New research has examined the factors that could lead to the collapse of global civilisation, with New Zealand identified as the country most resilient to future threats.
Making Power Wheelchair Technologies “Smarter” — Barry Dean, CEO, LUCI
Barry Dean is an award-winning songwriter turned smart wheelchair technology company founder.
As CEO of LUCI (https://luci.com/), a company re-imagining mobility for power wheelchairs, Barry sets the strategic vision and leads the company towards its goal of providing security, stability and connectivity for power wheelchairs. He founded the company with his brother, Jered, in 2017 with hopes of building a smarter solution for his daughter Katherine and all power wheelchair riders.

While advanced artificial intelligence learning models can do complicated functions, we have yet to teach AI common sense.
At this point i think the US government is going to get stuck paying to develop human level robotic hands.
Over the past few decades, roboticists and computer scientists have developed a variety of data-based techniques for teaching robots how to complete different tasks. To achieve satisfactory results, however, these techniques should be trained on reliable and large datasets, preferably labeled with information related to the task they are learning to complete.
For instance, when trying to teach robots to complete tasks that involve the manipulation of objects, these techniques could be trained on videos of humans manipulating objects, which should ideally include information about the types of grasps they are using. This allows the robots to easily identify the strategies they should employ to grasp or manipulate specific objects.
Researchers at University of Pisa, Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, Alpen-Adria-Universitat Klagenfurt and TU Delft recently developed a new taxonomy to label videos of humans manipulating objects. This grasp classification method, introduced in a paper published in IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, accounts for movements prior to the grasping of objects, for bi-manual grasps and for non-prehensile strategies.
