A dynamic cooperation is poised to redefine the limits of athlete safety and performance optimization in the dynamic field of sports science. A new age in sports analysis is promised by the combination of artificial intelligence (AI) and the internet of things (IoT), one in which data-driven insights not only improve our comprehension of athletic performance but also aid to reduce hazards. This academic work explores the complex interactions between AI and IoT in the context of sports. The IoT and AI integration appear to be a strong mix that has the potential to redefine the standards for athlete safety and performance improvement. This study explores the complex interactions between AI and IoT in the field of sports, emphasizing their combined potential for identifying risk factors in a variety of fields. There is a chance to proactively solve sports-related difficulties by utilizing the data-driven capabilities of IoT and the analytical power of AI, opening the door for better informed tactics and decision-making. Through an exploration of this symbiotic relationship, this paper seeks to underline the transformative potential of these technologies in fostering a safer and more performance-oriented sports environment.

Summary: The human cerebral cortex possesses distinct structural and functional features that are not found in the lower species traditionally used to model brain development and disease. Accordingly, considerable attention has been placed on the development of methods to direct pluripotent stem cells to form human brain-like structures termed organoids. However, many organoid differentiation protocols are inefficient and display marked variability in their ability to recapitulate the three-dimensional architecture and course of neurogenesis in the developing human brain. Here, we describe optimized organoid culture methods that efficiently and reliably produce cortical and basal ganglia structures similar to those in the human fetal brain in vivo. Neurons within the organoids are functional and exhibit network-like activities. We further demonstrate the utility of this organoid system for modeling the teratogenic effects of Zika virus on the developing brain and identifying more susceptibility receptors and therapeutic compounds that can mitigate its destructive actions. : Cerebral organoids recapitulate many aspects of human corticogenesis and are a useful platform for modeling neurodevelopmental mechanisms and diseases. Watanabe et al. describe enhanced organoid methods and model ZIKV pathology. More susceptibility receptors for ZIKV are identified, and differential effects of various compounds to mitigate ZIKV-induced cytopathy are demonstrated.
