AI Model Measures Pace of Brain Aging, Could Aid Prediction of Cognitive Decline

The first-of-its-kind three-dimensional convolutional neural network (3D-CNN) tool noninvasively analyses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans from an individual patient to track brain changes with time and measure the pace—P—of brain aging.

Exploring the structural changes driving protein function with BioEmu-1

However, predicting a single protein structure from its amino acid sequence is like looking at a single frame of a movie—it offers only a snapshot of a highly flexible molecule. Biomolecular Emulator-1 (BioEmu-1) is a deep-learning model that provides scientists with a glimpse into the rich world of different structures each protein can adopt, or structural ensembles
