New grant funds AI search for genetic targets to treat Alzheimer's
1+ day, 12+ hour ago (351+ words) With a new $6. 2 million, five-year grant from the National Institute on Aging, researchers at Case Western Reserve University will use artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to identify possible genetic targets to treat Alzheimer's disease. The intent, said principal investigator…...
MAIA: Bringing AI into your sample preparation
1+ day, 21+ hour ago (169+ words) Milestone introduces'MAIA (Milestone AI Agent), a new step forward in laboratory support, designed to transform how users interact with their microwave digestion systems. Integrated into ultra WAVE 3 and ETHOS, MAIA acts as a virtual product specialist, providing immediate, context-aware assistance…...
Study finds top AI models still struggle with clinical reasoning
3+ day, 2+ hour ago (205+ words) A new benchmark shows that even the most advanced AI models can often reach the final diagnosis but still falter when clinicians must weigh uncertainty, build a differential diagnosis, and decide what to test next. Study: Large Language Model Performance…...
AI-designed molecular sensors could enable early detection of cancer
3+ mon, 1+ week ago (989+ words) Detecting cancer in the earliest stages could dramatically reduce cancer deaths because cancers are usually easier to treat when caught early. To help achieve that goal, MIT and Microsoft researchers are using artificial intelligence to design molecular sensors for early…...

New method boosts AI-driven protein engineering with massive data
3+ day, 4+ hour ago (383+ words) This number of potential combinations, impossible to test in the lab, makes protein engineering an ideal challenge for AI. Modeling which of these combinations will give the best results is a perfect problem for the technology's massive computing power. But…...
AI-assisted liquid biopsies show promise for early cancer detection
4+ mon, 2+ week ago (284+ words) The prospect of diagnosing cancer through painless methods - such as a simple AI-assisted blood or urine test that detects tiny particles known as exosomes - is becoming increasingly realistic. AI-assisted liquid biopsies show promise for early cancer detection The prospect of…...
New model predicts m RNA protein production, accelerating drug and vaccine discovery
8+ mon, 3+ week ago (358+ words) The new model, called Ribo NN, stands to guide the design of new m RNA-based therapeutics by illuminating what will yield the highest amount of a protein or better target specific parts of the body such as the heart or…...
