[C3.] Robot to Implant Hair Plugs Faster A Houston neurosurgeon, Philip Gildenberg, hopes to revolutionize the baldness industry with his invention: a robot that he says will one day implant hair plugs faster and more precisely than a human can.

These endpoints have some correlation, but within a group of children, we do not have the ability to precisely identify a human protective level for RSV hospitalization.
I define a 'model' as an animal or other biological system that precisely recapitulates a human disorder, exhibiting what seems to be an identical phenotype to that seen in affected humans.
In this Editorial, I propose the alternative, broader term 'tool' to describe a biological system that does not obviously (or precisely) recapitulate a human disorder, but that nonetheless provides useful insight into the etiology or treatment of that disorder.
In order to precisely recapitulate a human TNNT2 disease mutation in the zebrafish, we designed morpholino antisense oligonucleotides (oligos) that target the intron 13 splice donor site in the zebrafish cardiac troponin T (tnnt2) mRNA.
We designed morpholino antisense oligonucleotides targeting the exon 13 splice donor site in the zebrafish cardiac troponin T (tnnt2) gene, in order to precisely recapitulate a human TNNT2 mutation that causes hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).
"What divides me from everyone, without a single exception, who is active in Germany," he told the more accommodating Zweig, "is precisely what divides a human from an animal".
To design them, bioengineers had to start with cadavers, which furnish the data on precisely how much force a human chest can withstand, say, before the ribs start to break.
Based on the nominal model preserved by the disturbance observer, feedback and feedforward controllers are optimally designed for the desired performance: i.e. the flexible joint actuator 1) exhibits very low impedance and 2) generates the desired torque precisely during interacting with a human.
