Analyzing single-cell RNA data in pre-malignant tumors

RNA sequencing is basically the isolation of RNA from cells and the use of reverse transcriptase to turn the RNA into DNA. You can then use your standard DNA sequencing technologies to quantify the cDNA that you obtained from the reverse transcription reaction.

Machine learning algorithm can help predict progression of age-related macular degeneration

Scientists have demonstrated that a machine learning algorithm, using images of patients' retinas obtained over time, can predict the critical moment when early or intermediate age-related macular degeneration (AMD) will progress into severe AMD.

ARVO 2017 to showcase latest advances in treatments for eye disease and blindness

The Annual Meeting of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology is the largest gathering of eye and vision researchers in the world, with over 11,000 attendees from more than 75 countries.

Study sets stage for potential stool-based test to detect advanced liver fibrosis

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) - a condition that can lead to liver cirrhosis and cancer -; isn't typically detected until it's well advanced. Even then, diagnosis requires an invasive liver biopsy.

TACC's supercomputers assist in discovery of new, better chemotherapy drugs

Surgery and radiation remove, kill, or damage cancer cells in a certain area. But chemotherapy -- which uses medicines or drugs to treat cancer -- can work throughout the whole body, killing cancer cells that have spread far from the original tumor.

Penn State establishes new $2.4-million Biomedical Big Data to Knowledge Training Program

A new $2.4-million program for graduate students seeking to contribute to breakthrough discoveries in medicine and biology has been established at Penn State University with nearly $1.4 million in funding from the National Library of Medicine of the U.S. National Institutes of Health and more than $1 million from Penn State.

AI-based smartphone application can guide users towards healthier lifestyle

VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland has developed artificial intelligence (AI)-based data analysis methods used in a smartphone application of Odum Ltd. The application can estimate its users' health risks and, if necessary, guide them towards a healthier lifestyle.

Scientists aim to build computer model of complex memory formation

Much of what scientists know about human memory comes from studies involving relatively simple acts of recollection--remembering lists of words or associations between names and faces.

Researchers find way to use artificial intelligence to combat diabetic retinopathy

Researchers from the Byers Eye Institute at Stanford University have found a way to use artificial intelligence to fight a complication of diabetes that affects the eyes. This advance has the potential to reduce the worldwide rate of vision loss due to diabetes.

AI key to driving precision medicine in cancer?

It is worth noting that in the U.S. and in many countries, digital pathology is still at a very early stage, compared to many other fields that were digitized 15 or 20 years ago such as radiology. There have been some barriers to the adoption of digital pathology such as regulatory challenges that are only just now being overcome. Recently, the FDA approved the use of whole slide imaging software for primary diagnostics.

Research findings shed light on brain’s ability to make split-second decisions

When animals hunt or forage for food, they must constantly weigh whether the chance of a meal is worth the risk of being spotted by a predator. The same conflict between cost and benefit is at the heart of many of the decisions humans make on a daily basis.

Person's brain age could help identify risk of functional decline and mortality

Some elderly people's brains appear older than the age on their birth certificates. These people have a higher risk of developing deteriorating age-associated conditions and impairments, and even of experiencing an earlier death than expected.

25 Apr 2017

MRI-based method for predicting brain age could help identify people at risk of early death

A method for predicting someone's 'brain age' based on MRI scans could help to spot who might be at increased risk of poor health and even dying at a younger age.

25 Apr 2017

Researchers aim to develop machine-learning method to better predict risks of organ donation

Organ transplants are a game of odds. Success depends on a number of factors: how old and how healthy the donor is, how old and how healthy the recipient is, how good a biological match can be found, how ready the patient is to receive it.

Artificial intelligence image detection technique offers low-cost, improved screening for cervical cancer

Artificial intelligence--commonly known as A.I.--is already exceeding human abilities. Self-driving cars use A.I. to perform some tasks more safely than people. E-commerce companies use A.I. to tailor product ads to customers' tastes quicker and with more precision than any breathing marketing analyst.

Researchers use novel machine learning technique to measure sleep patterns

Osaka University researchers use smartphones and machine learning to measure sleep patterns. Despite spending at least one quarter to one third a day sleeping, good sleep can elude many people, and the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders remains primitive.
