New open-source algorithm accelerates complex medical image analysis
2+ hour, 11+ min ago (859+ words) Penn Engineers have developed an open-source algorithm that combines the speed of AI with the precision of geometry to compare complex medical images quickly and accurately, helping detect subtle changes that, over time, can signal disease. In some cases, the…...
Revolutionizing calibration: How Lumo uses machine learning to streamline E&L screening and toxicological risk assessment
4+ day, 8+ hour ago (1017+ words) In this interview, industry expert Dr. Anthony Grice explains how machine learning predicts LC-MS response factors, reducing reliance on surrogates, improving accuracy, and accelerating extractables analysis and risk assessment workflows When you detect an unknown chemical in an E&L…...
Sino Biological's Cell-Free Protein Synthesis supports Tencent AI for Life Sciences Lab's protein design study published in Nature Communications
1+ week, 4+ day ago (180+ words) Sino Biological, Inc. has announced that its gene synthesis and cell-free protein expression workflow was used in a recent study by Tencent AI for Life Sciences Lab published in Nature Communications, enabling rapid validation of AI-designed proteins with improved activity,…...
Finnish researchers use AI to accelerate colorectal cancer diagnostics
1+ week, 5+ day ago (509+ words) The cell's own error-correction mechanism, the so-called MMR mechanism, corrects small errors that occur during DNA replication. If this mechanism does not function properly, it can affect both cancer development and treatment decisions. Liisa Pet'inen, who led the study at…...
Deep learning model predicts vascular cognitive impairment from brain scans
1+ week, 6+ day ago (156+ words) "Standard MRI shows white matter hyperintensities, but these are common in healthy elderly people too," explains Professor Tang. "DTI captures microstructural integrity of white matter " fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD) " which is much more sensitive to the subtle damage…...
AI-engineered p53 superproteins may reshape future cancer therapies
2+ week, 3+ day ago (148+ words) Introduction The author questions whether cancer has been misrepresented by overspecialization. Od H views cancer as an adaptive, self'learning evolutionary process that can be managed by AI'engineered p53 superproteins. Cancer as Biological Fatalism Standard oncology: cancer arises from mutations in cell…...
Explainable AI could make breast cancer drug predictions safer and clearer
2+ week, 4+ day ago (403+ words) By combining genomics, explainable AI, and drug-repurposing strategies, researchers outline a pathway for finding faster, cheaper, and more targeted treatment options for complex breast cancer subtypes. In a recent review published in the journal'npj Genomic Medicine, a group of authors…...
New artificial intelligence model maps how genes work together inside cells
2+ week, 5+ day ago (331+ words) Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have created a new artificial intelligence (AI) model that helps reveal how genes function together inside human cells, offering a powerful new way to understand biology and disease. Avi Ma'ayan,…...
How an AI system learned to write expert-level scientific code
2+ week, 5+ day ago (238+ words) A new study shows how ERA combines large language models with tree search to rapidly build expert-level research software, outperforming leading benchmarks in tasks from single-cell genomics to COVID-19 hospitalization forecasting. Study: An AI system to help scientists write expert-level…...
AI passed a classic Turing test by mastering the art of human small talk
2+ week, 5+ day ago (435+ words) In a landmark three-party Turing test, researchers found that suitably prompted AI models could pass as human in short text conversations, raising new questions about intelligence, deception, and the social risks of "counterfeit people." Study: Large language models pass a…...
