AI tool helps identify harmful epilepsy genetic variants

A new artificial intelligence tool developed by Northwestern Medicine scientists and collaborating institutions can help determine whether genetic variants associated with a severe form of childhood epilepsy will cause disease, according to a study published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.

AI could help predict which HPV infections progress to cancer

For several decades, researchers have sought to identify biomarkers capable of accurately predicting the outcome of an infection with a high-risk oncogenic HPV type. Despite significant advances, no viral, immune-related or molecular marker can currently and reliably predict which infections will regress spontaneously and which will progress to more severe disease.

AI tool reveals what attracts immune cells to tumors and what keeps them away

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and collaborating institutions in Texas developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model that helps explain how immune cells find their way to specific locations in the body and why they avoid others. The findings could help scientists better understand cancer, autoimmune diseases and treatment response.

Sticking it to insomnia: AI-powered forehead patch tracks brain signals to help boost deep sleep

A patch the size of a Band-Aid, stuck to your forehead, can now do something no traditional sleep study or fitness tracker can: nudge your brain toward a better night’s sleep. William Coon, a sleep scientist at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, has built a wearable device, meant to be used at home, that listens to brain activity and uses neurostimulation and other techniques to manufacture deep, restorative sleep.
