- AI that reads brain scans shows promise for finding Alzheimer’s genes. Machine-learning approach detects Alzheimer’s disease with an accuracy of more than 90% — a potential boon for clinicians and scientists developing treatments. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-03482-9 32 comments futurology
- By creating a machine-learning algorithm, a team of researchers discovered that cells often repair broken genes in ways that are precise and predictable, sometimes even returning mutated genes back to their healthy version https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-018-0686-x 6 comments science

- Cancer of unknown primary (CUP) is a type of cancer that cannot be traced back to its primary site and accounts for 3–5% of all cancers. A new AI machine learning model analyzes 400 genes to predict where a tumor originated in the body with high confidence in 41.2% of the tumors to target treatment. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-023-02482-6 11 comments science

- Researcher strips all 1,000+ magnesium linchpins from the translational system, the cellular machine that makes all life out of genes, replaces them with iron. The whole TS survives, ribosome and all, and works beautifully. It could have thrived -- as-is today -- 4 billion years ago when it evolved. http://www.rh.gatech.edu/news/614079/stripping-linchpins-life-making-machine-reaffirms-its-seminal-evolution 20 comments science

- Firefighters could be exposed to chemicals that put them at higher brain cancer risk. Haloalkanes, in flame retardants and fire extinguishers, have been linked to gliomas. Firefighters, and people in jobs such as car painting and machine maintenance, are at higher risk of haloalkane gene mutations. https://www.scimex.org/newsfeed/firefighters-could-be-exposed-to-chemicals-that-put-them-at-a-higher-brain-cancer-risk 3 comments science
