Acute Myeloid Leukemia Fought With New AI Tool

Acute myeloid leukemia, or AML, is a rare and aggressive cancer that can affect people of all ages. Kiran Vanaja, an assistant research professor in bioengineering at Northeastern University, says that AML also has a high recurrence rate and no one-size-fits-all treatment option. Because AML impacts both blood and bone marrow, oncologists need samples of … Read more

EPFL turns to fruit fly brain to build smarter, more agile robot systems

Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) researchers are unraveling the secrets of the fruit fly brain to advance robotics. A team from the institution’s Neuroengineering Laboratory have used optogenetics—light to control neurons—to study how brain signals drive movement. By replicating the fly’s neural circuitry, they aim to create robotic systems that mimic its agility. A … Read more
