Scientists in the U.K. have developed a new meta-material, dubbed Roliner, to improve the fitting of wearable devices made from hard materials, such as prosthetic limbs.

The three-dimensional analysis of cell types and their locations by spatial transcriptomics provides key information of their interactions within tissues or organs. Based on this technology, scientists at the Wellcome Sanger Institute have developed an AI tool called Nichecompass, which shows a comprehensive view of the cancer microenvironments, the different cells, their locations, and how they communicate with each other through different molecules inside the tumor.
