AI models help redefine core microbiome for personalized therapies
Credit: Cell (2024). DOI: 10.1016/j.cell.2024.09.019 Researchers at Rutgers University-New Brunswick, along with international collaborators, have introduced a novel method for identifying the crucial set of gut microbes commonly found in humans and essential for health. The researchers, whose study was published in Cell, said the discovery offers innovative opportunities for precision nutrition and personalized therapies aimed at managing chronic diseases associated...
Older adults wary of AI health info, struggle with misinformation

AI scans RNA ‘dark matter’ and uncovers 70,000 new viruses
Newly-discovered viruses live in hydrothermal vents and other extreme environments. Credit: Alexis Rosenfeld/Getty Researchers have used artificial intelligence (AI) to uncover 70,500 viruses previously unknown to science1, many of them weird and nothing like known species. The RNA viruses were identified using metagenomics, in which scientists sample all the genomes present in the environment without having...
Revolutionizing cardiovascular risk assessment with AI
University of Pennsylvania School of Engineering and Applied Science A recent position paper in the Asia-Pacific Journal of Ophthalmology explores the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in ophthalmology. Led by Lama Al-Aswad, Professor of Ophthalmology and Irene Heinz Given and John La Porte Given Research Professor of Ophthalmology II, of the Scheie Eye Institute, the work represents a...
AI CAN DIAGNOSE 10 TYPES OF DEMENTIA
JULY 11TH, 2024POSTED BY BOSTON UNIVERSITY(Credit: Getty Images) TAGS : ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE DEMENTIAUNIVERSITY: BOSTON UNIVERSITY Researchers have developed an AI tool that can diagnose ten different types of dementia. Ten million new cases of dementia are diagnosed each year but the presence of different dementia forms and overlapping symptoms can complicate diagnosis and delivery of...
Artificial intelligence outperforms clinical tests at predicting progress of Alzheimer’s disease
JULY 12, 2024 by University of Cambridge Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public DomainCambridge scientists have developed an artificially-intelligent tool capable of predicting in four cases out of five whether people with early signs of dementia will remain stable or develop Alzheimer’s disease. The team say this new approach could reduce the need for invasive and costly diagnostic...
Spotting Parkinson’s disease through AI
by Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Tracking wearable sensors, filming the patients performing routine exercises, or examining their handwriting—which is better for Parkinson’s detection? Researchers at Skoltech performed a comparative study of these three patient-driven monitoring approaches based on machine learning to find out what technique is most reliable for doctors...
An Idea From Physics Helps AI See in Higher Dimensions
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE An Idea From Physics Helps AI See in Higher DimensionsThe laws of physics stay the same no matter one’s perspective. Now this idea is allowing computers to detect features in curved and higher-dimensional space. Computers can now drive cars, beat world champions at board games like chess and Go, and even write prose....
Light Powered Robot Made from Hydrogel to Operate Inside Body
MEDGADGET EDITORS MATERIALS, NANOMEDICINE, SURGERY Engineers at University of California, Los Angeles have come up with a tiny new robot that can be controlled and powered using a beam of light. Called OsciBot, because of its oscillating motion, the robot is made entirely out of a light-responsive hydrogel and doesn’t carry its own power source, relying...
