Human Cell Atlas Mapping 37 Trillion Human Cells for Disease Insights
The Human Cell Atlas project has made significant strides in mapping the 37 trillion cells of the human body. Recent studies provide detailed insights into organs like the brain, lungs, and digestive system. The research holds great promise for understanding diseases like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. The team plans to release a comprehen...

AI Technology Detects Cancerous Brain Tumours in 10 Seconds During Surgery
Researchers have developed FastGlioma, an AI-based model that can identify residual brain tumour tissue in just 10 seconds during surgery. The technology, which outperformed conventional methods, offers significant improvements in neurosurgery for diffuse gliomas and other cancers. It could revolutionise surgical practices by enabling faster, more ...

New Child Fossil Teeth Reveal Why Humans Developed an Unusually Long Childhood
Research on fossil teeth from a 1.77-million-year-old early Homo specimen challenges the "big brain, long childhood" hypothesis. The study suggests that the extended childhood seen in humans may have evolved as a result of cultural transmission, not just brain growth. By analysing dental growth patterns, scientists show that Homo’s development wa...

Ancient Fossil Bird Skull Reveals Roots of Avian Intelligence, Finds New Study
Researchers have uncovered a well-preserved skull of Navaornis hestiae, an ancient bird from 80 million years ago, marking a crucial discovery for understanding the evolution of avian intelligence. Found in Brazil, this fossil bridges a 70-million-year gap in bird evolution between Archaeopteryx and today's birds, showcasing intermediate brain deve...

Memories Are Not Limited to Brain, New Study Claims
A study from NYU reveals that kidney and nerve cells can perform memory-like functions, suggesting memory capabilities are not restricted to the brain. By replicating a spaced learning process, scientists observed memory gene activation in these non-neural cells, expanding possibilities for enhancing learning and treating memory-related health issu...
