"Traditional drug discovery isn't working very well, particularly for complex diseases like Parkinson's," NYSCF's CEO Susan Solomon explained in a statement.
Scientists aren't sure what causes the disease, and it is currently incurable. Patients find it difficult to control their movements their limbs may shake or feel stiff. Nerve cells located deep within the basal ganglia region of the brain slowly die over time, impacting motion. Parkinson's disease is estimated to affect 2 to 3 percent of the population over the age of 65.

Motorola promises 0.13 micron PowerPCs Motorola's G4 Apollo augurs 1GHz Macs IBM-Moto PowerPC deal isn't dead - honestĪ robotic system armed with AI-powered cameras can grow and image skin cells from test tubes to diagnose Parkinson's disease with minimal human help, according to researchers from Google and the New York Stem Cell Foundation. Motorla's PowerPC roadmap Related Stories MacOS Rumors: PowerPC G5 details start to emerge It will also feature a wider, 256-bit path between on-chip caches, on-die L2 cache of 256KB and up to 2MB of external 元 cache. Unveiled last October, Apollo will use SOI and be based on 0.18 micron process, Motorola said, this and a deeper pipeline will permit the higher clock speeds. It certainly sounds more like the latter than the former. Whether Apollo is the G5 or a revised G4 Plus, isn't yet known. Given Intel is launching a 1.7GHz Pentium 4 in two weeks' time and will have 2.2GHz P4s out at end of the year, Motorola will have to move quickly on this one. Neither company has had anything to say about Book E since 1999, so we suspect that whatever new developments it was likely to have included - copper, SOI, 0.13 micron - have made their way into the platform already or will be coming soon.Īs for the 1.2GHz launch speed, that's possible, but probably too early to say.Ĭertainly the next PowerPC chip Motorola is known to be working on, codenamed Apollo, is aimed at taking the G4 family above 1GHz. How that applies to desktop computing applications, we're not sure.
Book E was invented to indicate they were in harmony over the platform's development for the embedded market.
