Apr 30th 2025, 14:16

An AI tool has made a step forward in translating the language proteins use to dictate whether they form sticky clumps similar to those linked to Alzheimer's Disease and around fifty other types of human disease. In a departure from typical 'black-box' AI models, the new tool, CANYA, was designed to be able to explain its decisions, revealing the specific chemical patterns that drive or prevent harmful protein folding.

Apr 30th 2025, 14:16

A new 3D 'atlas' of the mouse brain promises to sharpen scientists' ability to measure brain changes and share findings across studies of diseases like Alzheimer's. The mouse brain atlas combines microscopic detail from multiple imaging techniques into a living, distortion-free map--offering a powerful new tool for research and discovery.

Apr 30th 2025, 14:16

Researchers have identified biomarkers for tinnitus severity in subtle facial movements and pupil dilation that can be captured on video recordings. Until now, there has been no objective way to measure tinnitus severity and clinicians rely on patient survey questionnaires. The researchers plan to use these biomarkers to develop and test new therapies that can reduce or eliminate the phantom sounds (i.e. ringing in the ears) caused by tinnitus.
