UCLA researchers have found that specific molecular changes in mice may actually provide protective effects instead of causing harm.
Faster protein engineering could mean faster responses to emerging infections and cheaper drugs.
The dual-use problem
Researchers have raised concerns that these same AI tools could be misused, a challenge known as the dual-use problem: Technologies developed for beneficial purposes can also be repurposed to cause harm.
This study shows that a TRUE-MOGAD score of 2 or more accurately predicts MOGAD in patients with MOG-IgG titers of 1:20 or higher using the described assay. Read more.
Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibodies (MOG-IgG) are a biomarker of MOG antibody-associated disease (MOGAD). However, false positives remain common. We aimed to develop a scoring tool to guide interpretation.
Using gene-editing technology, scientists and start-ups are aiming to provide electricity-free illumination.
MIT’s Department of Mechanical Engineering (MechE) offers a world-class education that combines thorough analysis with hands-on discovery. One of the original six courses offered when MIT was founded, MechE faculty and students conduct research that pushes boundaries and provides creative solutions for the world’s problems.
The exploit only affected Build 42 branches of Project Zomboid (the game’s current ‘unstable’ testing release), so if you’re on Build 41, you were “not vulnerable to this specific issue,” the dev said. While The Indie Stone hasn’t determined what the malicious files were actually doing, “we strongly recommend that anyone who downloaded them take appropriate security measures to ensure their system is safe. Simply uninstalling the mods is not sufficient.”
If you use mods in Project Zomboid, check them against the list below to determine if you’ve downloaded and run any of these mods, which all look to be sound or music-related.
