NewsAI-powered CRISPR could lead to faster gene therapies, study finds
A new AI tool can help scientists better plan gene-editing experiments. CRISPR-GPT acts as a gene-editing “copilot” supported by AI to help researchers — even those unfamiliar with gene editing — generate designs, analyze data and troubleshoot design flaws.
-
NewsAI uncovers hidden rules of some of nature’s toughest protein bonds
Scientists have shown how artificial intelligence can reveal the hidden rules of one of biology’s strangest phenomena: catch-bonds – molecular interactions that get stronger when pulled. Their findings shed light on how bacteria cling to surfaces, how tissues resist tearing, and how new biomaterials might be designed to harness force.

NewsResearchers reveal infection risks oral mucositis poses to stem cell transplant patients, introduce a superior AI tool to predict them
Researchers have completed a series of studies that reveal how much painful mouth sores known as oral mucositis increase infection risks in stem cell transplant patients and how artificial intelligence can be used to more accurately predict those risks.
-
NewsResearcher developing electronic nose to detect foodborne illness
A researcher is working on developing an electronic nose (e-nose) to detect abnormalities from their version of the sniff test. The method would revolutionize food safety by relying on what the e-nose can detect rather than only the appearance of the food.

NewsNew AI tool reveals how drugs kill tuberculosis
A new study offers a powerful AI-assisted method for uncovering exactly how TB drugs kill the bacteria, opening the door to smarter treatment combinations that could work faster.
-
NewsResearchers use generative AI to design compounds that can kill drug-resistant bacteria
With help from artificial intelligence, researchers have designed novel antibiotics that can combat two hard-to-treat infections: drug-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae and multi-drug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

NewsInvestigating regional-specific gut microbial distribution: an uncharted territory in disease therapeutics
A new perspective highlights the critical role of region-specific gut microbial distribution across intestinal segments (e.g., duodenum, colon) in regulating host metabolism and immunity, challenging traditional fecal-centric approaches.
-
NewsM42 announces breakthrough results for its AI-powered tuberculosis screening
A new study is among the largest real-world clinical validations of an AI-driven healthcare solution to date, analyzing over one million chest X-rays (CXRs) to evaluate the efficacy and scalability of AI in TB screening.
