Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning – News and Features

A study shows that childhood trauma significantly impacts adult health and disease risk, with effects varying by sex. The research analyzed data from over 2,100 participants.

A GRAM Project study forecasts a sharp rise in deaths from antimicrobial resistance, predicting over 39 million lives lost by 2050 without action. Annual deaths could rise significantly, highlighting the urgent need for improved interventions.

Researchers have detailed the structure of the Ebola virus nucleocapsid using cryo-electron tomography. This discovery could guide the development of universal antiviral therapies targeting multiple filoviruses.

Scientists have discovered a method to create biohybrid molecules combining DNA and proteins using bacterial enzymes. This approach streamlines the production of potentially therapeutic compounds.

The process of food intake appears to be organized at the cellular level like a relay race. During eating, the baton is passed between different teams of neurons until the appropriate amount of energy has been consumed.

Research demonstrates that spring pollen acts as an ice nucleus, increasing cloud ice and precipitation even at sub-zero temperatures. The study highlights the importance of smaller pollen fragments.

An AI toolkit modeled after CRISPRi allows geneticists to run thousands of virtual experiments at the click of a button, helping to identify and understand key regions of the genome.

A study reveals that high doses of prescription amphetamines, like dextroamphetamine, are linked to a more than five-fold increased risk of developing psychosis or mania. The findings suggest caution is needed when prescribing these medications.

Researchers have mapped critical brain areas for language by analyzing electrical signals from patients during surgery. The study identifies key “connector” sites that help integrate language networks, potentially improving surgical precision.

Researchers developed a machine learning-based model to enhance cryoprotectant discovery. The new approach identifies molecules that prevent ice crystal growth during freezing.
