Deer can regenerate antlers humans can regrow their liver. “Regeneration is not just for so-called lower animals,” Levin said, as an image of Prometheus appeared on the screen behind him. In his lab, he has coaxed frogs to regenerate severed legs, and tadpoles to grow new eyeballs on their stomach.
Levin extends this thinking to the body he believes that mastering the code of electrical charges in its tissues will give scientists unprecedented control over how and where they grow. In the past half century, scientists have come to see the brain, with its trillions of neural interconnections, as a kind of computer. conference because his work is part of a broader convergence between biology and computer science. Levin had been invited to present at an A.I.
In essence, he’d reprogrammed the worm’s body-and, if he wanted to, he could switch it back. Levin explained that, by altering this electric patterning, he’d revised the organism’s “memory” of what it was supposed to look like. Instead, he’d changed the electrical signals among the worm’s cells. The most astonishing part was that Levin hadn’t touched the planarian’s genome. No matter how many times the extra head was cut off, it grew back. He had cut off the worm’s tail, then persuaded the organism to grow a second head in its place. What Levin showed his audience was something even more striking: a video of a two-headed planarian. Somehow, each part knows what’s missing and builds it anew. Researchers have discovered that no matter how many pieces you cut a planarian into-the record is two hundred and seventy-nine-you will get as many new worms. Levin is interested in the planarian because, if you cut off its head, it grows a new one simultaneously, its severed head grows a new tail. Some of the most important discoveries of his career hinge on the planarian-a type of flatworm about two centimetres long that, under a microscope, resembles a cartoon of a cross-eyed phallus. Levin began his talk, and a drawing of a worm appeared on the screen behind him. researchers introduced him, to a packed exhibition hall, as a specialist in “computation in the medium of living systems.” He waited onstage while one of Facebook’s A.I. Fifty-one, with light-green eyes and a dark beard that lend him a mischievous air, Levin studies how bodies grow, heal, and, in some cases, regenerate.
It was odd, therefore, when Michael Levin, a developmental biologist at Tufts University, gave a presentation at the 2018 conference, which was held in Montreal. Namun, ada yang lebih dari pemuda ini daripada yang terlihat, ketika ingatan yang tidak dikenal mencengkeram benaknya, perlahan-lahan mengingatkannya pada orang yang dulu.Each year, researchers from around the world gather at Neural Information Processing Systems, an artificial-intelligence conference, to discuss automated translation software, self-driving cars, and abstract mathematical questions. Pemimpin kelompok ini, Haise Sasaki, adalah setengah manusia, setengah manusia yang telah dilatih oleh penyelidik kelas khusus terkenal, Kishou Arima. Sebagai manusia yang telah menjalani operasi untuk memanfaatkan kemampuan khusus hantu, mereka berpartisipasi dalam operasi untuk membasmi makhluk berbahaya. Pembentukan tim khusus, yang dikenal sebagai Pasukan Quinx, dapat memberi CCG dorongan yang mereka butuhkan untuk memusnahkan penduduk Tokyo yang tidak diinginkan. Meskipun suasana di Tokyo telah berubah secara drastis karena meningkatnya pengaruh CCG, hantu terus menimbulkan masalah ketika mereka mulai berhati-hati, terutama organisasi teroris Aogiri Tree, yang mengakui ancaman CCG yang semakin besar terhadap keberadaan mereka.
Musim ketiga dari serial TV Anime Tokyo Ghoul atau lebih dikenal dengan judul Tokyo Ghoul:re Menceritakan beberapa tahun telah berlalu sejak penggerebekan CCG di Anteiku.
