by Higher Education Press Workflow to perform snRNA-seq of different WAT depots. The nuclei were derived from subcutaneous (S), epididymal (E), mesenteric (M), peri-nephritic (N), and peri-heart (H) adipose depots, which were pooled from 40 male C57BL/6J mice. Sequencing data went through the quality control process (described in the section of Materials and methods of...
Peer-Reviewed Publication UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE IMAGE SHOWING BILATERAL CUNEAL (MAGENTA) AND FRONTAL CORTEX (BROWN)CREDIT: ELIFE/UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE Scientists have found the strongest evidence yet that our brains can compensate for age-related deterioration by recruiting other areas to help with brain function and maintain cognitive performance. As we age, our brain gradually atrophies, losing nerve cells...

Peer-Reviewed Publication MONASH UNIVERSITY Australian researchers have worked out how to fix a defect that causes lupus, and hope their world-first discovery will offer effective long-term treatment. Published in Nature Communications, the Monash University-led study found a way to reprogram the defective cells of lupus patients with protective molecules from healthy people. Using human cells,...
A new study finds that headsets merging the external world with digital content via passthrough video technology can offer amazing experiences, but visual distortions, feelings of social absence, and motion sickness can undercut the vibe, dissuading prolonged usage.Among the buzziest consumer technologies right now are “mixed reality” or “spatial computing” headsets that convincingly blend views...
POSTED BY NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF SINGAPORE A new wearable device called AiSee helps people with visual impairment “see” objects around them with the help of artificial intelligence. People with visual impairment face daily hurdles, particularly with object identification which is crucial for both simple and complex decision-making. While breakthroughs in AI have dramatically improved visual recognition...
