New study reveals 3D genome disruption drives Alzheimer's disease in brain cells

Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh discovered that the three-dimensional architecture of the genome is fundamentally altered in specific brain cells of individuals with Alzheimer's disease. Using single-cell technology, spatial tissue mapping, and a novel AI model called Hicformer, the team linked genome folding to gene activity and brain tissue organization, establishing higher-order chromatin reorganization as a primary layer of Alzheimer's pathology.

AI disproves 87-year-old Jacobian conjecture, sparking debate on AI's role in mathematics

Mathematician Levent Alpöge used Anthropic's Fable 5 to disprove the Jacobian conjecture with a simple 216-character counterexample. The breakthrough adds to a growing list of AI-driven mathematical discoveries, including solutions to the Dinitz-Garg-Goemans conjecture and Erdős problems. But experts debate whether finding counterexamples represents genuine mathematical progress or just efficient search capabilities.

Brain-computer interface helps man with paralysis feed himself and regain touch after two years

Keith Thomas, paralyzed from the chest down after a diving accident, can now feed himself and feel his sister's hand thanks to a double neural bypass system. The AI brain implant, developed by the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, combines brain-computer interface technology with electrical stimulation to restore both movement and touch. Remarkably, the gains have persisted for over two years, suggesting genuine nervous system rewiring.
