Invisible touch: Stevens is giving AI the ability to feel and measure surfaces
AI-based technologies are rapidly learning to see, converse, calculate and create. One thing they still don’t do well, however, is measure or “feel” surfaces — a purely mechanical function. “AI…
Mass General Brigham researchers find too much sitting hurts the heart
Fitting in a workout after a long day of sitting at a desk might not be enough to compensate for the impacts of sedentary behavior on the heart. Investigators from…
AI finds undiagnosed liver disease in early stages #TLM2024 #AASLD24
Liver disease, which is treatable when discovered early, often goes undetected until late stages, but a new study revealed that an algorithm fueled by artificial intelligence can accurately detect early-stage…
Bacterial vaccine shows promise as cancer immunotherapy
Columbia researchers have engineered probiotic bacteria that educate the immune system to destroy cancer cells, opening the door for a new class of cancer vaccines that take advantage of bacteria’s…
UT Health San Antonio-led study finds novel role of BRCA1 in tumor suppression
A new study led by The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UT Health San Antonio) is shedding light on a novel role of breast cancer gene…

‘Digital twins’ of real cancer patients with algorithms to discover black holes
Researchers have shown that they can accurately re-create clinical trials of new treatments using ‘digital twins’ of real cancer patients. The technology, called FarrSight®-Twin, which is based on algorithms used…
Cancer risk linked to p53 in ulcerative colitis
Researchers in the lab of Michael Sigal at the Max Delbrück Center and Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin have elucidated the role of the p53 gene in ulcerative colitis. The study,…
Discovery finds how ovarian cancer disables immune cells
Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have discovered a mechanism that ovarian tumors use to cripple immune cells and impede their attack—blocking the energy supply T cells depend on. The work, published…
A “chemical ChatGPT” for new medications
Researchers from the University of Bonn have trained an AI process to predict potential active ingredients with special properties. Therefore, they derived a chemical language model – a kind of…
