Researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence model which can inform the design of protein-based therapies and vaccines by leveraging the underlying logic from nature’s evolutionary processes.

Artificial intelligence and digitalisation: these two topics will also shape the next few years in laboratory diagnostics and laboratory medicine. During the four-day Labmed Forum at Medica 2024, the focus will be on how this will influence diagnoses and therapies.

Researchers have developed Tetris, a revolutionary technology, that is capable of capturing the diversity of protein interactions on site to inform accurate cancer diagnoses, enabling the personalization of ensuing treatments.

The Rec¬Cagefree I trial has found drug-coated balloon angioplasty to be less effective than second generation drug-eluting stents for previously untreated non-complex coronary lesions.

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have developed a new method to convert standard RGB images into hyperspectral images using deep machine learning. This innovative approach could dramatically lower the cost and complexity of chemical analysis in agriculture, enabling more accessible product quality assessment using regular cameras or smartphones.

The Algacircle project is a project that aims to focus on developing an innovative circular economy concept wherein food, feed and agrochemicals can all be produced with microalgae. The project has secured a funding of over 1 million euros.

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory's new AI tool, “Creme”, offers scientists a revolutionary way to explore the genome, enabling virtual gene-editing experiments at unprecedented scale. By simulating CRISPRi’s gene-modifying abilities, Creme allows researchers to predict and understand gene activity from countless mutations.

Researchers have found that a higher percentage of kidney stones were excreted without pain or any other symptoms in patients suffering from kidney stones. They also found out that the size of the stones that were passed unnoticed did not differ significantly from the size of those that caused pain when passed. This led them to believe that stone size alone is not a reliable indicator of whether a stone will cause symptoms.

Long before humans mastered agriculture, ants were already farming fungi. New research reveals that ants began cultivating fungi 66 million years ago after a mass extinction event created ideal conditions for fungi to thrive.

Researchers at the University of Maryland have uncovered a 3,775-year-old log remarkably preserved in clay soil, offering new insights into an emerging climate solution called "wood vaulting." This method involves burying wood to prevent its decomposition and the release of carbon dioxide.
