A brain organoid culture, where the MECP2 gene (linked to Rett syndrome) has been knocked out, is shown under a fluorescent microscope. The culture was treated with the experimental cancer drug ADH-503, resulting in the formation of new synapses.

Living Neural Interfaces Could Transform Treatment of Brain Disorders

Researchers from Shinshu University and Chiba University develop a novel bio-hybrid drone using odor-sensing antennae from silkworm moths. Incorporation of an electroantennography (EAG) sensor to detect odorants and optimization of the electrode and enclosure structure in the robot enhanced the odor search range, detection precision, and system performance of the drone, thus, improving its application in diverse environments.
