Jude tailors its approach to meet customers' needs and is a trusted partner in the healthcare industry.

London-based startup Context, which provides analytics for building large language model applications, raised $3.5M. The round included participation from Google Ventures, 20VC's Harry Stebbings, and DeepMind's Mehdi Ghissassi, among others.

California Forever, the parent company of Flannery Associates, a company that has purchased over 50,000 acres in Solano County, has revealed a website showing a planned city. The site promises a safe walkable city with solar farms and good local jobs that won't ruin the nearby agriculture. It doesn't discuss population, size, or how the city will sustain itself. The company plans to get locals to get on board with the project using surveys and a local advisory board.

Kidney cells housed within the Kidney Project's bioreactor can survive inside the body of a pig and mimic several important kidney functions for at least one week. The Kidney Project aims to create a device that can improve on dialysis. A bioartificial kidney would make treatments for kidney disease more effective, tolerable, and comfortable. The next steps for testing will be month-long trials, first in animals and then eventually in humans.
