A compact deep-learning model distinguished young from aged mouse blood stem cells by reading subtle patterns in DAPI-stained nuclei. Its most immediate value is as a research-screening tool—not a clinical age test or proof of cellular rejuvenation.
Read storyResearchers carbonized a laboratory-made papyrus scroll, detected lead-spiked writing with handheld X-ray fluorescence and reconstructed readable text from CT data. The proof of concept could help identify which surviving Herculaneum scrolls are best suited for virtual unrolling.
