Preserving endangered languages using AI and data

Imagine you’re trying to preserve a beautiful butterfly. You take pictures of the butterfly and store them as data, thinking it will capture the essence of its vibrant colors and delicate wings. But here’s the catch: what if the pictures only capture the butterfly when it’s sitting still on a leaf, missing out on its […]

A Key Protein’s Impact on Cognitive Impairment in Brain Disease

In the world of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD), researchers are exploring the relationship between cerebral microbleeds (CMBs), the level of serum High Mobility Group Protein B1 (HMGB1), and cognitive impairment. Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and other techniques, scientists have observed that higher levels of HMGB1 are associated with more severe CMBs and greater […]

Nose Spray Therapy Targets Brain Cells in Alzheimer’s Mice

Imagine tiny delivery trucks zipping through the city streets, quickly finding their targets and delivering important cargo. That’s what it’s like when intranasally administered extracellular vesicles (EVs) from human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neural stem cells (hiPSC-NSCs) are used to treat Alzheimer’s disease in mice. In this study, researchers found that these EVs, which contain […]
