USC researchers built a robotic hand that hears a melody once and plays it back after just two minutes of self-taught practice on a keyboard. They say the implications go far beyond music.

In a new study published in Science Advances, researchers used AI to help understand how quickly fluid circulates around the brain to wash away metabolic waste that is linked to diseases such as Alzheimer's.

 Researchers from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) and the University of California, San Diego, have revealed the exact mechanism underlying how a key protein, called SPD-5, helps regulate where and when spindle fibers assemble in C.elegans during cell division.  Published in Science Advances, the study shows that SPD-5 is activated through a precise, step-by-step process that changes the protein’s shape, unlocking the binding sites needed to begin forming spindle fibers.

People are exposed to thousands of chemicals every day — through the products they use, the food they eat and the environments they live in — but only a fraction of those chemicals have been fully tested for safety.

Researchers at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences (VMBS) are turning to artificial intelligence to help close that gap, using new tools to predict chemical toxicity and determine how much those predictions can be trusted.

A reconstructed protein interactome for the Last Eukaryotic Common Ancesor led researchers to identify hundreds of ancient genes that appear to be associated with human diseases. Follow-up experiments confirmed three of these gene-disease associations. The work could potentially lead to new targets for treating a host of other diseases.
