An MRI scan shows a Chiari type-1 malformation, in which the cerebellum extends beyond the gap in the skull where it connects to the spinal cord. Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have used AI tools to describe three sub-types of Chiari type-1, which will help guide clinicians to make the most effective treatment decisions for their patients.

Researchers define new subtypes of common brain disorder

Artificial intelligence identified 3 subtypes of Chiari type-1 malformations, could improve medical decision making.

Researchers in the labs of Joshua Yuan in the McKelvey School of Engineering and Susie Dai at the University of Missouri used electrocatalysis of carbon dioxide to turn carbon dioxide into intermediates that are then converted by microbes into lipids, or fatty acids, and ultimately became biodiesel feedstock. The process is much more efficient that photosynthesis and uses significantly less land than soybean-based biodiesel. (Credit: Kainan Chen)

Novel electro-biodiesel a more efficient, cleaner option to existing alternatives

Joshua Yuan, Susie Dai and colleagues at WashU and Texas A&M create biodiesel with electrocatalysis and bioconversion.
