Regeneron Pharmaceuticals has demonstrated that its gene therapy, DB-OTO, can restore hearing in children born with profound deafness due to OTOF gene mutations. The therapy uses a dual-vector viral system…
Google DeepMind has introduced AlphaProteo, an AI system capable of designing novel proteins that bind to specific target molecules with high affinity. This breakthrough significantly accelerates the development of new…
Researchers have discovered that the protein Interleukin-11 (IL-11) acts as a major driver of aging and organ decline in mammals. By blocking this protein in animal models, scientists successfully extended…
Insilico Medicine has advanced the first generative AI-discovered and AI-designed drug candidate into Phase II clinical trials. The drug, INS018_055, targets idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a chronic condition that causes progressive…
A research team based at a Norwegian university hospital has discovered a powerful anti-inflammatory molecule within the deep-sea sponge Geodia barretti. The compound effectively inhibits cytokine production in human cells,…
Scientists at Tufts University have created Anthrobots, tiny biological robots made from human tracheal cells that can move and repair damaged neural tissue. These living machines are created without genetic…
Researchers at UC San Diego have developed a flexible wearable microgrid that harvests energy from human sweat and movement. This hybrid system uses biofuel cells and triboelectric generators to power…
Researchers at the University of Washington have developed ProteinMPNN, an artificial intelligence tool that solves the 'inverse folding problem' in protein design. This breakthrough allows for the rapid creation of…
Researchers have utilized explainable deep learning to discover a new class of antibiotics capable of killing methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). This breakthrough marks one of the first times AI has…
