AI model maps tumor tissue to improve cancer care
A tumor is more than its cancer cells. Immune cells, blood vessels and other surrounding tissue influence how a cancer grows and responds to treatment. Two tumors containing the same cell types can respond very differently to the same therapy depending on how those cells are arranged. Spatial proteomics captures this organization in molecular detail, but the resulting data, which contain many different variables, are difficult to interpret and compare across studies.

While that conception isn’t 100% scientifically accurate, bacteriophages are lethal killers of bacteria nonetheless, and scientists are excited about engineering phage DNA as a path to new antibiotics.
