AI tool predicts how body will respond to drugs, potentially accelerating disease treatments
by University of Virginia Credit: Polina Tankilevitch from Pexels University of Virginia School of Medicine scientists have created a computational tool to accelerate the development of new disease treatments. The tool goes beyond current artificial intelligence (AI) approaches by identifying not just which patient populations may benefit but also how the drugs work inside cells. The...

Synthetic neurons project offers platform for disease treatment, further brain research
A Purdue research project is taking an engineering approach to build synthetic neurons. The body can recover from many things, but the damage caused by Parkinson’s disease isn’t one of them. No cure exists for Parkinson’s, which 1 million people in the U.S. are expected to be living with by 2020. But an outright cure...
