Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence, or AI, is an umbrella term for machine learning and deep learning. It is where a machine takes in information from its surroundings and, from that, makes the most optimal decision appropriate to the situation.

Decoding macrophage immune responses with gene editing and machine learning

Fighting off pathogens is a tour de force that must happen with speed and precision. A team of researchers at CeMM and MedUni Vienna led by Christoph Bock and Matthias Farlik has investigated how macrophages-immune cells that are the body's first responders-master this challenge.

Aging brains lose key proteins despite intact genetic blueprints

An international research team involving the Leibniz Institute on Aging - Fritz Lipmann Institute (FLI) in Jena, the Scuola Normale Superiore Pisa, and Stanford University has discovered that in the aging brain, certain proteins are lost even though their mRNA blueprints remain intact.

New research pipeline fuels the development of universal vaccines

Most vaccines are designed to provide immunity against just one pathogen. Vaccines for chicken pox (caused by varicella-zoster virus) were only developed to fight that one disease, for example.

How too much screen time affects kids’ heart health and what can reduce the risk

A large Danish cohort study found that higher screen time in childhood and adolescence is linked to worse cardiometabolic health, with shorter sleep amplifying the risk. Blood metabolomics revealed a signature of high screen time, and in teens, it was tied to higher predicted cardiovascular disease risk.

AI-powered sweat sensor predicts anxiety before symptoms appear

Researchers have developed Stressomic, a wearable microfluidic biosensor that sequentially measures cortisol, epinephrine, and norepinephrine in sweat at six-minute intervals. The device distinguishes physical from psychological stress and predicts anxiety levels using machine learning.

AI app Ovum gives Australian women the power to advocate for their own health

Ovum is an Australian-first AI-powered app designed to empower women to track symptoms, gain personalised health insights, and advocate for better healthcare outcomes. Developed with clinical trials and user feedback, Ovum aims to address the longstanding dismissal of women’s health concerns by the medical system.

Low oxygen environment protects brain and restores movement in mice with Parkinson's

Researchers from the Broad Institute and Mass General Brigham have shown that a low-oxygen environment - similar to the thin air found at Mount Everest base camp - can protect the brain and restore movement in mice with Parkinson's-like disease.

Excessive screen time linked to higher cardiometabolic risk in youth

Children and young adults who spend excessive hours glued to screens and electronic devices may have higher risks for cardiometabolic diseases, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and insulin resistance, according to new research published today in the Journal of the American Heart Association, an open-access, peer-reviewed journal of the American Heart Association.

Experts call for action against weaponization of healthcare

The deliberate destruction of health services and systems as an act of war should be termed 'healthocide' and medical practitioners should call out and stand firm against this weaponization of healthcare, insists a thought-provoking commentary published in the open access journal BMJ Global Health.
