If Stephen Quake gets his way, biologists in the future will spend a lot less time wielding pipettes. “Our goal,” he says, “is to create computational tools so that cell biology goes from being 90% ...

Researchers are no longer just simulating brains in silicon, they are wiring living human neurons into machines and asking ...

This type of data–called pertubations–is crucial to training AI models, because information on how cells respond to various molecules improves an algorithm’s ability to predict how they’ll be affected ...

A human cell is a Rube Goldberg machine like no other, full of biological chain reactions that make the difference between life and death. Understanding these delicate relationships and how they go ...

Ever since artificial intelligence (AI) drug developer Xaira Therapeutics launched in April 2024 with a jaw-dropping $1 billion in committed capital and a star-studded leadership lineup—including ...

Yusuf Roohani, PhD, machine learning group lead at the Arc Institute, is among a team of researchers training artificial intelligence (AI) models with transcriptome data to predict how cell gene ...

Our body’s “blood factory” consists of specialized tissue made up of bone cells, blood vessels, nerves and other cell types. Now, researchers have succeeded for the first time in recreating this ...

A vascularized organoid model of hormone-secreting cells in the pancreas has been developed, with potential to improve diabetes research and cell-based therapies. “Our results highlight the importance ...
