A biocomputer powered by lab-grown human brain cells has leveled up from Pong to Doom. While nowhere ready to handle the video game shooter’s most challenging levels, researchers at Cortical Labs in ...

Living human neurons were trained to play Doom, extending the long-running engineering benchmark into biological computing.

Scientists have demonstrated that human brain cells grown on a microchip can learn to play id Software’s classic first-person ...

A cluster of lab-grown human brain cells has apparently made the leap to successfully playing a very rudimentary video game ...

Researchers at Australian start-up Cortical Labs have taught human neurons grown on a chip to play the classic Doom game. In 2021, they had already used 800,000 neurons to play Pong. Now, with four ...

After training neurons to play Pong, the team is back, and this time the brain cells are slaying demons with super shotguns.

"If the neurons fire in a specific pattern, the Doom guy shoots." The post Researchers Get Human Brain Cells Running Doom ...

Nucleotide synthesis—the production of the basic components of DNA and RNA—is essential for cell growth and division. In most animal cells, this process depends closely on properly functioning ...

Researchers at a Melbourne start-up have taught their “biological computer” made from living human brain cells to play Doom.

Lacks’ cervical cancer cells, called “HeLa” after the first two letters of her first and last name, are immortal, continuing to divide when most cells would die. This ability to survive through ...

Mitochondrial diseases are severe, often untreatable, and they leave human cells unable to grow normally without outside help. A new study published in Nature Metabolism now shows that a single gene ...
