Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a type of preinvasive tumor that sometimes progresses to a highly deadly form of breast cancer. It accounts for about 25 percent of all breast cancer diagnoses. Because it is difficult for clinicians to determine the type and stage of DCIS, patients with DCIS are often overtreated. To address …
Cambridge scientists have developed an artificially-intelligent tool capable of predicting in four cases out of five whether people with early signs of dementia will remain stable or develop Alzheimer’s disease. The team say this new approach could reduce the need for invasive and costly diagnostic tests while improving treatment outcomes early when interventions such as …
In a recent study published in the journal Nucleic Acids Research, researchers investigate whether machine learning can identify pan-cancer mutational hotspots at persistent CCCTC-binding factor (P-CTCF) binding sites (P-CTCFBSs). Study: Machine learning enables pan-cancer identification of mutational hotspots at persistent CTCF binding sites.

Last week Google introduced a radical shake-up of search that presents users with AI-generated answers to their queries. Now the company says it will soon start including ads inside those AI Overviews, as the automatic answers are called. Google on Tuesday announced plans to test search and shopping ads in the AI summaries, a move …
The researchers devised an AI-based method to find chemicals that stop alpha-synuclein, the protein that causes Parkinson’s, from clumping together. The team quickly reviewed a chemical library with millions of entries using machine learning methods and found five powerful compounds that require further research. Parkinson’s disease More than six million people around the world have …
TOPLINE: Changes to retinal blood vessels may be an indicator of development of preeclampsia, according to a poster presented at the 2024 meeting of the Society for Reproductive Investigation. METHODOLOGY: Preeclampsia is a leading cause of maternal death and is associated with changes to the vasculature of the eyes, leading to symptoms such as blurred …
