New study finds 'brake' gene for Alzheimer's
Scientists in Shanghai have identified a "brake" gene that could potentially halt the progression of Alzheimer's disease, following the creation of the world's first functional map of regulatory "switches" in astrocytes — cells that protect and support brain neurons — using an innovative technology. The gene has already been validated in mouse models, where it significantly alleviated cognitive impairments, bringing performance close to that of healthy mice. The research team

AI-powered toys entering Chinese children's playrooms
At a bustling store in south China's metropolis of Shenzhen, a small crowd gathers around what looks, at first glance, like an ordinary display of plush toys. They are soft, round and brightly colored, the sort of companions that have filled children's rooms for decades. But then they begin to murmur in their own uniquely programmed digital dialect. At the prompt of a young girl, the beige "creature" in her hand, one of the palm-sized AI toys known as "Fuzozo," pauses, its ti
