Researchers coated cancer cells with bacterial signals that prompted macrophages to recognize and engulf them, raising phagocytosis from about 20% to 70% in laboratory tests and slowing tumours in mice. The approach is inventive, but it remains preclinical and has not been tested for safety or effectiveness in people.

Researchers improved a recombinant spider-silk hydrogel so it gels faster, remains clearer and supports cultured cells under more physiological conditions. Better transparency could help scientists image cells inside three-dimensional cultures, although the work remains an in-vitro materials study rather than a treatment or implant.

Chemists have developed a one-step reaction that replaces boron with carbon inside a molecular ring while preserving the group attached to it. The method could make drug-candidate comparisons faster and cleaner, but it has so far been demonstrated only in laboratory chemistry, not in medicines or patients.

Researchers used AI and directed evolution to build programmable plant immune receptors against viruses, bacteria, fungi and other pathogens. Seventy-one of 391 initial designs worked as intended, and an improved receptor protected experimental plants, but field performance remains unknown.

Researchers engineered bacteria to assemble into a conductive network that senses force while tolerating extreme stretching. The laboratory prototype could inspire softer sensors for robots and wearables, but its long-term stability, containment, manufacturing cost and real-world accuracy have not yet been demonstrated.

I guess - people should use #AI with some context, understanding and use them not as an alternative to human workers, but as a tool, when given to capable humans who make right choices, increases the productivity and profit of the institutions. So, this is the first post with the tag : #wtfAI Need your genuine opinion on what you people think about AI. I just need to know about it's impact and popularity in current #society. 1) Is AI actually necessary for humans? We were already good before AI? Is it? 2) AI should be controlled and be put to use for only authorised people - because anyone with a bad intent can do some #TokenMaxxing - AI used as service for cyberattacks. 3) Other unanswered questions that you might have. (Like AI in #biotechnology) This is just for gathering opinions.
