   DuckDuckGo Privacy Pro review: VPN, privacy chatbots and removal tools

   TechRadar reviews DuckDuckGo Privacy Pro, a subscription bundle combining a browser-based VPN, identity-theft restoration, data-removal services and privacy-protected access to advanced chatbots based on ChatGPT and Claude. The reviewer describes the suite as feature-rich and effective for privacy, but calls its starting price of $19.99 per month expensive. Its Pro features require the DuckDuckGo browser, and the browser-embedded VPN has a narrower server footprint than dedicated VPN services.

   MIT's IRIS model decodes cell-signaling fingerprints across cell types

   Researchers led by MIT assistant professor Pulin Li and graduate student Nicholas Hutchins report that each cell-signaling pathway leaves a distinctive gene-activity fingerprint that is consistent across cell types. Their neural-network model, IRIS, uses those fingerprints to estimate which signaling pathways were active at specific times in a cell’s development; it was trained on data from thousands of human embryonic stem cells exposed to combinations of six major pathways. Tested on mouse embryo cells during gastrulation, IRIS predicted pathway activation in cells destined for heart, gut, muscle and spinal cord tissue, and a predicted lung-development signal was confirmed in mouse experiments, according to the open-access study published in Nature Methods on Sept. 8.
