    The engineered tissue grafts could take on the liver’s function and help thousands of people with liver failure.

    Whether they walk on two, four, or six legs, animals maintain stability by monitoring their body position and correcting errors with every step.

    MIT CSAIL and McMaster researchers used a generative AI model to reveal how a narrow-spectrum antibiotic attacks disease-causing bacteria, speeding up a process that normally takes years.

    By enabling rapid annotation of areas of interest in medical images, the tool can help scientists study new treatments or map disease progression.

    Study of 3.5 million cells from more than 100 human brains finds Alzheimer’s progression — and resilience to disease — depends on preserving epigenomic stability.
