Participants who did their wellbeing exercises with a toy-like robot said that they felt more of a…
A type of immune therapy called chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy has revolutionized the treatment of multiple types of blood cancers but has shown limited efficacy against glioblastoma—the deadliest type of primary brain cancer—and other solid tumors.

Foundation Models Defined foundation models are an AI neural network — trained on mountains of raw data, generally with unsupervised learning — that can be adapted to accomplish a broad range of tasks, the paper said. “The sheer scale and scope of foundation models from the last few years have stretched our imagination of what’s possible,” they wrote. Two important concepts help define this umbrella category: Data gathering is easier, and opportunities are as wide as the horizon. No Labels, Lots of Opportunity Foundation models generally learn from unlabeled datasets, saving the time and expense of manually describing each item…
