Cesar Cadenas/ZDNETZDNET's key takeawaysWith prices starting at $1,241, Lenovo's ThinkPad Z13 Gen 2, a laptop that aims to be a great entertainment laptop and work laptop all in one package. In my opinion, the Z13 exceeds doing both due to its lightweight form factor and several key features.Upon opening the laptop for the first time, you'll be greeted with a 13-inch, 2.8K resolution (2,880 x 1,800 pixels) OLED touchscreen  – at least that's what greeted me. The review unit I received from Lenovo was one of the…

For years, we’ve been able to quickly reply to messages through Google Messages notifications. It eliminates you having to open the app and tap on the text field just to reply to a message. However, a feature is only useful if it works, and it appears that this might not be the case. Some users are reporting that the reply feature is missing from Google Messages notifications. Google Messages is missing the reply function in the notifications This was first reported by a Reddit user who posted a screenshot. We see that,…

Researchers have discovered a potential stroke recovery therapy that can restore brain function in mice after a stroke. This therapy, involving inhibitors of the metabotropic glutamate receptor mGluR5, has shown to improve sensorimotor functions even when administered days after a stroke. The study suggests that combined with rehabilitation training, this treatment could offer a new approach to stroke recovery. However, further research, including human trials, is necessary.Researchers have successfully revived brain…

Karolinska Institutet’s groundbreaking research using DNA origami reveals a novel way of activating the Notch cell receptor with a protein, Jag1, providing new insights into serious diseases and developmental processes. Credit: SciTechDaily.comResearchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have used DNA origami, the art of folding DNA into desired structures, to show how an important cell receptor can be activated in a previously unknown way. The result opens new avenues for understanding how the Notch signaling pathway…

Groundbreaking research identifies a key function of neuron-OPC synapses in the brain, revealing their crucial role in myelin production. This discovery offers new insights into treating neurological conditions like MS, Alzheimer’s, and brain cancer. Credit: SciTechDaily.comDiscovery could be useful in developing new therapies for multiple sclerosis, neurodegenerative conditions, and brain cancer.New research from Oregon Health & Science University for the first time reveals the function of a little-understood…

The iOS 17.3 beta 3 has finally gone live for developers and it adds a long-awaited security feature. Just last week, iOS 17.3 beta 2 was released for developers and subsequently removed as it was causing some iPhone users to get caught in boot loops. This rendered iPhones unusable until reverting to a previous version of the operating software. While unusual, this is not unheard of, and has happened as recently as iOS 14 in 2020. iOS 17.2 beta 3, as well as including some general bug fixes, finally implements Stolen…

January 10, 20243min readA model heart made from living tissue fused with robotic muscles could help researchers see how the organ works on the insideBy Payal Dhar From artificial heart valves to cellular transplants, new treatments for cardiovascular ailments are being developed every day. To model how they work, researchers need a reliable way to observe the heart in action. Animal studies, computer models and various laboratory simulators made with dead heart tissue can all provide different views, but these…

A new study challenges the long-held view that the neuronal soma is the key computational unit of the brain. By demonstrating that dendrites play a crucial role in neuronal plasticity and other dynamics, this research could redefine our understanding of brain functionality and disease origins.Recent research suggests that a number of neuronal characteristics, traditionally believed to stem from the cell body or soma, may actually originate from processes in the dendrites. This discovery has significant implications for…
