An advanced algorithm that has been developed by Google DeepMind has gone some way to cracking one of the biggest unsolved mysteries in biology. AlphaFold aims to predict the 3D structures of proteins from the “instruction code” in their building blocks. The latest upgrade has recently been released. The latest upgrade has recently been released. Proteins are essential parts of living organisms and take part in virtually every process in cells. But their shapes are often complex, and they are difficult to visualise. So being able to predict their 3D structures offers windows into the processes inside living things, including humans. ......

Today’s NHS faces severe time constraints, with the risk of short consultations and concerns about the risk of misdiagnosis or delayed care. These challenges are compounded by limited resources and overstretched staff that results in protracted patient wait times and generic treatment strategies. Staff can operate with a surface level view of patient data, relying on basic medical histories and recent test results. This lack of comprehensive data interferes with their ability to fully understand patient needs and compromises the accuracy and individualisation of diagnoses and treatments. Such a healthcare approach, characterised by th...... Read Full article on GretAi

The power of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations in revolutionizing cancer treatment is a groundbreaking discovery that has the potential to change the landscape of cancer therapy. Recent studies funded by Cancer Research UK have shown that mutations in mtDNA can predict a patient's response to immunotherapy, a significant advancement in the field of medicine. Researchers have taken an unconventional approach by rewiring the DNA of mitochondria to create mutations in mtDNA. The results have been astonishing, with tumors containing high levels of mtDNA mutations being up to 2.5 times more likely to respond to immunotherapy drugs like noolab. ......

Chinese scientists have recently made headlines with their groundbreaking work in the field of robotics, specifically in the realm of resurrecting human heads as robots. The Japanese researchers have enabled a childlike robot, Fetto, to feel pain through a pain nervous system, distinguishing between gentle and rough touches and exhibiting corresponding emotional responses. The development of tactile sensors integrated into the robot has allowed for more comprehensive interactions with the surrounding world, creating a more humanoid-like appearance and behavior. Moreover, British company Engineered Arts has released the Mesmer project, showca...... Read Full article on GretAi

If health is a fundamental human right, health-care delivery must be improved globally to achieve universal access. However, the limited number of practitioners creates a barrier for all health-care systems. Approaches to health-care delivery driven by artificial intelligence (AI) are poised to fill this gap. Whether in urban hospitals or in rural and remote homes, AI has the reach that health-care professionals cannot hope to achieve. People seeking health information can obtain it quickly and conveniently. For health care to be effective, patient safety must remain a priority. The news is filled with examples of novel applications ...... Read Full article on GretAi

Lung cancer is responsible for more deaths than breast, colon and prostate cancer combined. With advancements in lung cancer screening, it is expected that more patients will be diagnosed at earlier stages, enabling them to undergo surgery, the primary treatment modality for early-stage patients. However, a significant proportion of patients will have a recurrence of their cancer after resection (surgery to remove the tumour). Unfortunately, current clinical guidelines cannot help predict which patients are at risk. Better knowledge of who is at risk has significant implications for systemic therapy selection such as chemotherapy for...... Read Full article on GretAi
