Part of what’s interesting here is that there haven’t been any robust featurizers for DNA in the same sense that we have robust featurizers for proteins (like ProtBERT et al.) that just work out of the box for amino acid sequences. Since ma

Oocytes are one of the most difficult cells to engineer as well... The mitochondria in Oocytes are turned off from birth because otherwise reactive oxygen species will damage the mtDNA. One would have to use CRISPR to re-build the mtDNA, us

It may help to have the set of keywords that will yield better search results. Geneticists generally assume that every trait is determined by a combination of Genes and Environment (GxE), and the differences between fraternal and identical

I don’t think it’s straightforward to do a head to head comparison. from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yso2S2Svdlg @ 25:14 James Wang: "If a model doesn’t fit into a GPU’s HBM, is it smaller when it’s laid out in th

Congratulations to Regina, it's well deserved. She's clearly doing something right over there since members and former members of her lab have been consistently ahead of the rest of the pack on a variety of tasks by a wide margin.

Something like a CycleGAN and/ or weight sharing would do the trick

I think you're right that most DeepFakes use Variational AutoEncoders (As described by the article) where the latent space is jointly distributed between the two domains, allowing for translation. For additional context: AutoEncoders a

The prices were very low -- if I remember correctly the zero was £4.50 and the zero W was £5.00. I went in looking for a motor so I didn't catch the price of the Pi B+ etc. Sorry!

I had a minute to check it out over lunch - most of the floorspace is dedicated to demonstrating what the raspberry pi can do at a high level. They had stations for coding, gaming, sensors, etc. but only ~1/4th of the space was devoted

Unfortunately even with just collagen we can see an immunogenic response that is annoyingly exacerbated by UV cross-linking of the individual collagen proteins. That's why many of the best manufactured ECMs are cross-linked using a mix

You're right that we could already re-seed decellularized pig ECMs with human stem cells, but we have also already been able to derive stem cells from the stomach. I think the main claim that they're making is that by deriving bot

It seems to me that the main advancement here is that the native extracellular matrix is being re-seeded with differentiated stem cells, as opposed to ordinary tissue engineering which uses a manufactured ECM or tissue transplants, which do

I'd be interested in knowing where you've been getting your information from. Teslas don't have engines but the AC induction motors they use are substantially more advanced than anything that existed before [1]. Tesla is also

It's also important to consider that photosynthesis only captures photons in a very narrow spectrum relative to the total spectral output of the sun.

Looks useful -- Out of curiosity, how do you determine where to place holes in the sidewalls or sockets for the board to screw into?

From what I understand, artificial ECMs can be more difficult to build in some ways, but if you can figure out how to incorporate the right signaling factors into an artificial collagen matrix, you can avoid a lot of challenging biocompatib

I'm currently sitting next to Paolo Bombelli... He laughed and said that your version of events is fairly accurate, although they used liquid nitrogen as an "anesthetic".
