Machines still can’t think, but they can now validate your emotions, according to new research from New Jersey Institute of Technology assistant professor Jorge Fresneda. Fresneda began his career as a chemist and then became an expert in neuroanalysis.

Scientists have long believed that a newborn’s immune system was an immature version of an adult’s, but new research from Cornell University shows that newborns’ T-lymphocytes – white blood cells that protect against disease – outperform adults’ in fighting many infections. These results help clarify why adults and infants respond differently to infections and pave the way for controlling T cell behavior for therapeutic applications. This discovery was described in an article published in Science Immunology on February 23, led by Brian Rudd, associate professor of microbiology and immunology, and Andrew Grimson, professor of molecular biology and genetics. For example,…
