IIT-Guwahati
GUWAHATI: The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT-G) on Wednesday signed a MoU with the Mehta Family Foundation (MFF), US, to set up the Mehta Family School of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (AI) at IIT-G. The first batch of B.Tech students for this school will be admitted through JEE in the academic year 2021- 22.
Apart from providing time and expertise for academic and research activities in this new school, distinguished professors from top US universities will act as strategic advisers for the school.
The collaboration to set up the Data Science and Artificial Intelligence school will usher in new opportunities for students at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The MoU was signed virtually by Prof. TG Sitharam, director of IIT-G, and Rahul Mehta, chief executive officer at Mehta Family Foundation, in the presence of a galaxy of luminaries and Dr Rajiv I Modi, chairman, board of governors, IIT-G, and Prof. Krishnaswamy Vijayraghavan, principal s

How to Speed Up Muscle Repair

A study led by researchers at the University of California San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering provides new insights for developing therapies for muscle disease, injury and atrophy. By studying how different pluripotent stem cell lines build muscle, researchers have for the first time discovered how epigenetic mechanisms can be triggered to accelerate muscle cell growth at different stages of stem cell differentiation.
The findings were published Mar. 17 in
Science Advances.
“Stem cell-based approaches that have the potential to aid muscle regeneration and growth would improve the quality of life for many people, from children who are born with congenital muscle disease to people who are losing muscle mass and strength due to aging,” said Shankar Subramaniam, distinguished professor of bioengineering, computer science and engineering, and cellular and molecular medicine at UC San
