Facebook improves its AI Messenger assistant ‘M’ with new wits
Facebook M, the company’s AI-powered assistant that lives inside Messenger, was launched widely back in April, giving suggestions to users based on the context of their conversations. Today, M is
Facebook now has 2 billion monthly users… and responsibility
“We’re getting to a size where it’s worth really taking a careful look at what are all the things that we can do to make social media the most positive
Mice provide insight into genetics of autism spectrum disorders
Taking advantage of advances in genetic technologies, researchers led by Alex Nord, assistant professor of neurobiology, physiology and behavior with the Center for Neuroscience at the University of California, Davis,
Genetic engineering tool generates antioxidant-rich purple rice
“We have developed a highly efficient, easy-to-use transgene stacking system called TransGene Stacking II that enables the assembly of a large number of genes in single vectors for plant transformation,”
Lake harvests are likely more fruitful than we knew
“Our study provides an independent estimate of global inland fishery harvests based on food web ecology and fisheries activity, and can help resource managers in the United States and around
Human enzyme can reduce neurotoxic amyloids in a mouse model of dementia
In most neurodegenerative diseases, misfolded proteins aggregate to form an insoluble clump called amyloid. Many amyloid-forming proteins, including tau in Alzheimer’s disease and alpha-synuclein in Parkinson’s disease, contain the amino
Training changes the way the brain pays attention
After moving to a new city, driving to work on the second or third day may feel very different than it felt on the first day. Over time, drivers will
Night shifts may hinder body’s ability to repair DNA damage
Suppression of the hormone melatonin, which regulates the internal body clock (circadian rhythm) might have a role, the findings suggest. Previous research by the same authors of 223 night shift
Sequencing finds rare genetic disease risk in one out of five healthy adults
Whole-genome sequencing involves evaluating a patient’s DNA to identify risk for genetic conditions and undiagnosed diseases. Many health care systems are moving toward more widespread adoption of clinical sequencing with
Amber warning for the UK’s access to new medicines post Brexit
The EMA is a decentralised agency of the European Union (EU), located in London which is responsible for ensuring that all medicines available on the EU market are safe, effective
Intracranial pathology not necessary for gadolinium deposition in brain tissues
Gadolinium contrast media were introduced as a means of enhancing MRI images in 1988 and are commonly used today. The contrast agent is injected into the patient’s bloodstream and eliminated
Jellyfish fluorescence shines new light on DNA copying
This allowed scientists to watch the molecular machinery of DNA as it replicated inside a cell one molecule at a time. It revealed for the first time that only one
Rapidly mapping the ‘social networks’ of proteins
“The power of this new approach is in the ability we now have to scale it up,” says senior author Joseph Ecker, professor and director of Salk’s Genomic Analysis Laboratory
2-D material’s traits could send electronics R&D spinning in new directions
The material — known as 1T’-WTe2 — bridges two flourishing fields of research: that of so-called 2-D materials, which include monolayer materials such as graphene that behave in different ways
