For the first time, scientists have captured a real-time view of a human embryo implanting in a laboratory model of a uterus. Being able to witness the complex implantation process may be helpful for advancing fertility procedures, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), the researchers say. “We have observed that human embryos burrow into the uterus, exerting considerable force during …

The robotaxi rodeo has arrived in Austin. I was walking down South Congress Avenue in Downtown Austin on a Wednesday afternoon when a fleet of Waymos pulled up at a stoplight, like a little robotaxi posse. This is a fairly new sight. Alphabet’s Waymo, which has more than 100 robotaxis in Austin, began offering paid rides through Uber’s platform in …

LOGAN — The Bear River Health Department said Friday it has confirmed two cases of West Nile virus in humans in Cache County. The announcement closely follows one from the Salt Lake County Health Department on Thursday that said an adult was diagnosed with neuroinvasive West Nile virus, a more severe form of the disease. That individual was hospitalized with …

A human embryo being implanted into a uterus has been pictured in real time and in 3D footage for the first time by a team of scientists. It shows images of an embryo implanting into a synthetic uterus, demonstrating how the process occurs naturally. The groundbreaking footage was released by researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) in …

Good news, everyone! Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, have coined a new term to describe our brains being dumb. In a recent study, they provide evidence for a distinct but common kind of cognitive bias—one that makes us reluctant to take the easier path in life if it means retracing our steps. The researchers have named the bias …

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers had a lot of promise before release, but thanks to its abysmal performance on both PC and consoles, its player numbers fell off very quickly. It’s been doing a pretty good job of trying to rectify that problem, releasing post-launch patches with improvements and performance fixes, but the game’s latest update has drastically changed how the game …

Summary: Researchers have identified a genetic region, HAR123, that may help explain what makes the human brain unique. Acting as a transcriptional enhancer, HAR123 influences the development of neural progenitor cells, which give rise to neurons and glial cells, and plays a role in determining their ratio. This regulation appears to support cognitive flexibility, a distinctly human trait involving the …

The idea of taking blood from the young to rejuvenate the elderly is getting an increasing amount of attention from scientists, and a new study has shown how some of the youthful properties of our skin can be restored with this kind of blood swap. A special 3D human skin model was set up in the lab by researchers, who …
