Researchers Customize AI Tools for Digital Pathology

Details
Category: Research
10 July 2024
Scientists from Weill Cornell Medicine and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston have developed and tested new artificial intelligence (AI) tools tailored to digital pathology - a rapidly growing field that uses high-resolution digital images created from tissue samples to help diagnose disease and guide treatment.

New AI Approach Optimizes Antibody Drugs

Details
Category: Research
09 July 2024
Proteins have evolved to excel at everything from contracting muscles to digesting food to recognizing viruses. To engineer better proteins, including antibodies, scientists often iteratively mutate the amino acids - the units that are arranged in a sequence to make up proteins - in different positions until the resulting protein has an improved function, like eliciting a stronger immune response or capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere more efficiently.

Innovative, Highly Accurate AI Model can Estimate Lung Function Just by Using Chest X-Rays

Details
Category: Research
08 July 2024
If there is one medical exam that everyone in the world has taken, it's a chest x-ray. Clinicians can use radiographs to tell if someone has tuberculosis, lung cancer, or other diseases, but they can't use them to tell if the lungs are functioning well.

Until now, that is.

04 July 2024
A study comparing jokes by people versus those told by ChatGPT shows that humans need to work on their material.

The research team behind the study published on Wednesday, July 3, in the journal PLOS ONE, took on the serious task of comparing participants’ reactions to jokes written by ChatGPT 3.5 and others written by people.

Mobile Phone Data Helps Track Pathogen Spread and Evolution of Superbugs

Details
Category: Research
03 July 2024
A new way to map the spread and evolution of pathogens, and their responses to vaccines and antibiotics, will provide key insights to help predict and prevent future outbreaks. The approach combines a pathogen's genomic data with human travel patterns, taken from anonymised mobile phone data.

Researchers from the Wellcome Sanger Institute, University of the Witwatersrand and National Institute for Communicable Diseases in South Africa, the University of Cambridge, and partners across the Global Pneumococcal Sequencing project, integrated genomic data from nearly 7,000 Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) samples collected in South Africa with detailed human mobility data.

AI Model to Improve Patient Response to Cancer Therapy

Details
Category: Research
02 July 2024
A new artificial intelligence (AI) tool that can help to select the most suitable treatment for cancer patients has been developed by researchers at The Australian National University (ANU).

DeepPT, developed in collaboration with scientists at the National Cancer Institute in America and pharmaceutical company Pangea Biomed, works by predicting a patient's messenger RNA (mRNA) profile.

Can AI Tell you if You Have Osteoporosis?

Details
Category: Research
01 July 2024
Osteoporosis is so difficult to detect in early stage it’s called the "silent disease." What if artificial intelligence could help predict a patient’s chances of having the bone-loss disease before ever stepping into a doctor's office?

Tulane University researchers made progress toward that vision by developing a new deep learning algorithm that outperformed existing computer-based osteoporosis risk prediction methods, potentially leading to earlier diagnoses and better outcomes for patients with osteoporosis risk.

Study Reveals Why AI Models that Analyze Medical Images can be Biased

Details
Category: Research
28 June 2024
Artificial intelligence (AI) models often play a role in medical diagnoses, especially when it comes to analyzing images such as X-rays. However, studies have found that these models don’t always perform well across all demographic groups, usually faring worse on women and people of color.

These models have also been shown to develop some surprising abilities.

AI Matches Protein Interaction Partners

Details
Category: Research
26 June 2024
Proteins are the building blocks of life, involved in virtually every biological process. Understanding how proteins interact with each other is crucial for deciphering the complexities of cellular functions, and has significant implications for drug development and the treatment of diseases.

However, predicting which proteins bind together has been a challenging aspect of computational biology, primarily due to the vast diversity and complexity of protein structures.

Meet CARMEN, a Robot that Helps People with Mild Cognitive Impairment

Details
Category: Research
25 June 2024
Meet CARMEN, short for Cognitively Assistive Robot for Motivation and Neurorehabilitation - a small, tabletop robot designed to help people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) learn skills to improve memory, attention, and executive functioning at home.

Unlike other robots in this space, CARMEN was developed by the research team at the University of California San Diego in collaboration with clinicians, people with MCI, and their care partners.
