artificial intelligence

A happenstance collaboration between biologists and roboticists led to the birth of a strange creation: living machines derived from frog stem cells.

The scientific community needs to draw the line between use and abuse of artificial intelligence tools.

Douglas Blackiston’s frog-fueled research seeks to push the boundaries of understanding developing organisms.

Grace Lindsay explains machine learning and describes how artificial neural networks mimic the architecture of brain neurons to learn from and process data.

With deep learning methods revolutionizing life sciences, researchers bet on de novo proteins and cell mapping models to deliver customized precision medicines.

New technologies and archival tissue biopsy samples enable exploration of changes in the bone marrow as people age.

Researchers found new mechanisms and drug targets for cystinosis.

Researchers created a model that uses clinical testing data to locate the primary site of cancer cells with no known origin, likely improving survival.

John Jumper and Demis Hassabis received this year’s 2023 Albert Lasker Basic Medical Research Award for their work on the artificial intelligence system AlphaFold, which changed the landscape of protein biology. 

A renaissance in natural language modeling may help researchers explore how the brain extracts and organizes meaning.

A new machine learning model promises fast prediction of drug-target interactions.

Algorithms can now glean ever more molecular and genetic information from images of stained tissue, but some researchers worry that we can’t follow their logic.

Machine learning can be harnessed to synthesize artificial light-bearing enzymes that actually work in cells.
