Genetic Pathway Disruption Rejuvenates Cells
A study has found that certain genes and pathways that regulate splicing factors – a group of proteins in our body that tell our genes how to behave - play a key role in the ageing process. Significantly, the team found that disrupting these genetic processes could reverse signs of ageing in cells.

Video Technique Fills in the Gaps
Given only a few frames of a video, humans can usually surmise what is happening and will happen on screen. Computers, however, struggle with this task. In a paper presented at the European Conference on Computer Vision, researchers describe a module that helps artificial intelligence systems to fill in the gaps between video frames to greatly improve the network’s activity recognition.
