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.

Bio-hybrid drone uses silkworm moth antennae to navigate using smell

A new study in the journal Environmental Science and Technology tested the effects of conventional polyester fibres and two bio-based fibres –viscose and lyocell – on earthworms, a species critical to the health of soils globally

Development of living, ‘Bio-hybrid’ robots needs regulation and public debate

Rhanor Gillette, left, and Ekaterina Gribkova developed an AI that can navigate new environments, seek novelty and rewards, and learn in real time. Their research into the neural pathways that drive behavior in sea slugs and octopuses guided the work.
