New research from the University of Waterloo’s Cybersecurity and Privacy Institute demonstrates that any artificial intelligence (AI) image watermark can be removed, without the attacker needing to know the design of the watermark, or even whether an image is watermarked to begin with.
In summary, the integration of AI and nursing is an inevitable trend. The only way to unleash the potential of AI and promote the nursing industry to realize high-quality development in the technological wave is to strengthen the humanistic roots, make up for the shortcomings of skills, and improve the ethical framework.
Promoting pyroptosis—an inflammatory form of programmed cell death—has become a promising treatment strategy for cancer. In research published in The FASEB Journal, investigators purified a long-chain sugar molecule, or exopolysaccharide, from deep-sea bacteria and demonstrated that it triggers pyroptosis to inhibit tumor growth.
Scientists at the Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, have completed the largest taxonomic and genomic investigation yet of the bellflower genus Adenophora. By mining 9.89 TB of deep genome skimming data—nearly every known species in the group—they have clarified how hybridisation and gene flow shaped this lineage and, in turn, propose a new generic framework.
