Unlocking a Detrimental Role of IGF1 in Osteoarthritis: A New Target for Therapeutic Intervention?
Osteoarthritis is a common joint disease that leads to pain, stiffness and limited mobility, for which no effective treatments are available. My team and I, driven by the desire to address this medical need, studied the biology of cartilage and this led us to uncover a surprising player in OA: IGF1.
Nature's Flight Sense: The Bio-Mechanical Perception with Embodied AI Insights
Bird has captivated humanity for centuries with their ability to soar through the skies with grace and precision. What lies at the heart of this fascination? The answer lies in the unique combination of biological structures and sensory systems that allow birds to perform complex aerial maneuvers.
