Computer vision enables researchers to screen earlier for autism
here

• The video at the bottom of the page demonstrates the clinician's usual role in a session with an infant thought to be at risk for autism: offering toys, engaging the infant with a smile, rolling a ball. 
• A computer algorithm tracks eyes, ears, and a toy, with the goal of spotting warning symptoms of autism
• At Duke University, researchers from different disciplines are using computer vision algorithms to make early diagnosis more likely, and even intend to create an app for parents to use at home.

Safe, wirelessly charged implants could replace drugs

here

• Researchers at Stanford University have developed a new way to safely transfer energy to tiny medical devices implanted deep inside the human body
•  Using this new technology, medical implants could run on significantly smaller batteries, shrinking down to the size of a grain of rice, and be implanted much deeper within the body.
• The power source is a small device the size of a credit card. When the electromagnetic waves that it generates move from air to the patient's skin, they refract in such a way that they are able to propagate safely and effectively through human tissue, in what the researchers call a "mid-field wireless transfer."
• The advance could lead to the development of tiny "electroceutical" devices that can be implanted near nerve bundles, heart or brain tissue and stimulate them directly when needed, treating diseases using electronics rather than drugs.

Harvard researchers find protein that could reverse the aging process

here

• Researchers from the Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HSCI) have shown that injections of a protein dubbed GDF11,
• administered to older mice, appear to cause a reversal of many signs of aging. 
• Analysis showed that every major organ system tested displayed signs of improvement,
• with the protein even appearing to reverse some of the DNA damage which is synonymous with the aging process itself.
