Emergent Device Boosts Neuromorphic Computing
Department of Energy, Office of Science

Researchers have shown that a novel memristor device consisting of metal, dielectric, and metal layers remembers the history of electrical signals sent through it. The interface between metal and dielectric in the novel device is critical for stable switching and enhanced performance. Simulations indicate that circuits built on this device exhibit improved image recognition.

Immunotherapy Blocks Scarring, Improves Heart Function in Mice with Heart Failure
Washington University in St. Louis

Researchers at WashU Medicine have reduced scar formation and improved heart function in mouse models of heart failure using a monoclonal antibody treatment, similar to one approved by the FDA for other conditions. The findings point to the possibility of developing such immunotherapies for heart failure in patients who have experienced a heart attack or other injury.

Novel Antibody Platform Tackles Viral Mutations
Mount Sinai Health System

Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, in collaboration with colleagues in the field, have developed an innovative antibody platform aimed at tackling one of the greatest challenges in treating rapidly evolving viruses like SARS-CoV-2: their ability to mutate and evade existing vaccines and therapies. Their findings, including preclinical studies in mice, introduce the Adaptive Multi-Epitope Targeting and Avidity-Enhanced (AMETA) Nanobody Platform, a new antibody approach for addressing how viruses like SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, evolve to evade vaccines and treatments. Details on the results were published October 23 in the journal Cell.
