Humble lizards offer surprising approach to engineering artificial lungs Grantee News thomas.johnson Mon, 12/27/2021 - 14:05 A new study shows how the brown anole lizard solves one of nature's most complex problems -- breathing -- with ultimate simplicity. Whereas human lungs develop over months and years into baroque tree-like structures, the anole lung develops in just a few days into crude lobes covered with bulbous protuberances. These gourd-like structures, while far less refined, allow the lizard to exchange oxygen for waste gases just as human lungs do. And because they grow quickly by leveraging simple mechanical processes, anole lungs provide new inspiration for engineers designing advanced biotechnologies.

Wear and tear in vulnerable brain areas lead to lesions linked to cognitive decline Grantee News thomas.johnson Tue, 12/21/2021 - 11:53 As our brains age, small lesions begin to pop up in the bundles of white matter that carry messages between our neurons. The lesions can damage this white matter and lead to cognitive deficits. Now, researchers not only provide an explanation for the location of these lesions but also how they develop in the first place.

Cancer-spotting AI and human experts can be fooled by image-tampering attacks Grantee News thomas.johnson Wed, 12/15/2021 - 14:43 Artificial intelligence (AI) models that evaluate medical images have potential to speed up and improve accuracy of cancer diagnoses, but they may also be vulnerable to cyberattacks. Researchers simulated an attack that falsified mammogram images, fooling both an AI breast cancer diagnosis model and human breast imaging radiologist experts.
