Research team led by Limin Xiao revolutionizes metadata management in distributed file systems with a novel consistency framework that reduces synchronization delay and enhances scalability, outperforming existing methods in global virtual data space file systems.

New EU laws now require risk management and compliance with ethical standards when using artificial intelligence (AI) is used. Validaitor, a start-up company spun off from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), assists organizations and businesses in implementing the rules. KIT has now decided to take a stake in the company.

    Led by Assistant Prof. Kou Li, a research group in Chuo University (President: KAWAI Hisashi, Hachioji-shi, Tokyo, Japan), under a collaboration with National Institute of Informatics (Director-General: KUROHASHI Sadao, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan), has developed a synergetic strategy among millimeter-wave–terahertz–infrared photo-monitoring and computer vision three-dimensional modelling toward ubiquitous non-destructive inspections, with a recent paper publication in Advanced Materials Technologies.

Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a way to treat ageing-related muscular atrophy using regenerative medicine. Conventional methods to implant myoblasts, precursors to muscle fiber, required prior scarring for the new cells to graft properly. By adding extracellular matrix (ECM) fluid into the implant, the team successfully grafted myoblasts onto healthy muscle in mice. Their technique opens the way for using implantation to treat unscarred muscle atrophied by ageing.
