| |  Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), the deadliest breast cancer subtype, disproportionately affects African American women – but until now, they were underrepresented in genomic studies aimed at identifying the genetic mutations driving the disease. | |
|
| |  Cancer cells can break down the protective covers around nerves, causing nerve injury that triggers chronic inflammation leading to immune exhaustion and eventual resistance to immunotherapy, according to new research from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. | |
|
| |  Artificial intelligence accelerates drug discovery, improving hit identification and clinical trial design while addressing inefficiencies in the R&D pipeline. | |
|
| |  The shift to biopesticides is transforming agriculture, offering eco-friendly pest management that supports sustainability and reduces chemical reliance. | |
|
| |  Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine used a generative AI large language model to scan emergency department notes and flag high-risk patients with potential H5N1 bird flu exposure. The tool identified hidden occupational and animal-contact risks quickly, cheaply, and with strong accuracy. | |
|
| |  Researchers at Ruhr University Bochum developed a quartet-based deep learning method that embeds phylogenetic tree structures into neural networks. Tested on bacterial 16S rRNA data, it enables AI to extract features aligned with evolutionary relationships rather than random patterns. | |
|
| |  Most bacteria cannot be cultured in the lab-and that's been bad news for medicine. Many of our frontline antibiotics originated from microbes, yet as antibiotic resistance spreads and drug pipelines run dry, the soil beneath our feet has a vast hidden reservoir of untapped lifesaving compounds. | |
|
| |  When scientists discovered how bacteria protect themselves against viral invaders, called phages, in the early 2000s, little did they know they'd stumbled upon a revolutionary tool researchers could use to edit the DNA of living cells. | |
