UC San Diego Health performs the world’s first personalized cervical spine surgery using AI and 3D-printed implants for a patient’s unique anatomy.

The accumulation of these algae on beaches can harm health, tourism, fishing, and biodiversity. They are usually collected and disposed of in landfills, but a study by Brazilian researchers has found a use for the biomass: to produce lightweight ceramic clay aggregates.Large quantities of brown algae have been washing up on beaches in northern Brazil, the Caribbean, and the United States.

Researchers from the Institute of Process Engineering (IPE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in cooperation with Shenzhen Second People's Hospital, have developed a novel exosome-based therapeutic agent for treating traumatic CNS injuries. This treatment can alleviate neuronal apoptosis, restore glial homeostasis, and remodel glia-neuron networks, offering potent therapeutic benefits in murine (mouse) TBI and SCI models.

Quantum researchers at Purdue are advancing an approach that could improve the resolution of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to the atomic scale and may also have applications in developing quantum computing and quantum communications.
