 DeepRare AI helps shorten the rare disease diagnostic journey with evidence-linked predictionsDeepRare AI helps shorten the rare disease diagnostic journey with evidence-linked predictions
 
Researchers developed DeepRare, an LLM-driven multi-agent diagnostic system that integrates clinical descriptions, phenotype data, and genomic information to improve rare disease identification. Across thousands of cases, the system showed higher diagnostic recall than existing AI tools and clinicians in benchmark testing, while providing traceable reasoning linked to medical evidence.

A single exposure to a toxic fungicide during pregnancy can increase the risk of disease for 20 subsequent generations - with inherited health problems worsening many generations after exposure.
 
   Rising lung cancer in never smokers demands urgent research focusRising lung cancer in never smokers demands urgent research focus
 
Lung cancer patients who have never smoked make up a significant and growing share of global lung cancer cases, yet remain an understudied group, according to a new review written by UCL (University College London) researchers.
 
   Engineers develop highly precise gene editor for safer cystic fibrosis treatmentsEngineers develop highly precise gene editor for safer cystic fibrosis treatments
 
Engineers at the University of Pennsylvania and Rice University have refined a technology for editing individual genetic "base pairs" to a new level of precision, opening the door to safer, more reliable therapies for a wide range of genetic diseases, and to potential treatments for some cystic fibrosis patients that may yield better outcomes than existing therapies.
