A new artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm can accurately predict the severity and progression of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and Huntington’s, by analyzing gene expression data from blood samples, researchers say. As the progression of these diseases is unique in every patient, this diagnostic algorithm has significant…
A novel mouse model and a new method of analyzing these mice led researchers to the discovery of key molecular changes in the early stages of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), opening up the possibility of new therapy targets. These new innovations could be valuable tools for researchers to continue to…
Insilico Medicine has launched ALS.AI, a drug discovery platform for new amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) treatments. It uses a powerful new analytical approach involving “deep learning” to seek out new therapies for the disease — and to evaluate whether existing drugs used to treat other diseases can be repurposed for treating ALS.
People who have amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) know how hard it can be to communicate, but a new app developed by Microsoft researchers, called GazeSpeak, may make speaking with the eyes a reality. GazeSpeak, to be unveiled in May at the Conference on Human Factors in Computing…
