The claim that an AI generated drug slows aging sounds like a science-fiction milestone. Rentosertib did not prove that people became younger. In a 12-week Phase 2a trial in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), researchers analyzed serum from a subset of participants using six proteomic aging clocks. Across the treated groups, those models shifted toward younger … Read more
A personalized mRNA cancer vaccine has just crossed a line cancer researchers have been trying to reach for years. On August 19, 2026, Moderna and Merck announced that intismeran autogene, a made-to-order mRNA treatment combined with Keytruda, met key efficacy endpoints in a large Phase 3 melanoma trial. It reduced the risk of cancer returning … Read more
Protein design has spent the last few years becoming dramatically better at generating plausible molecules. Anthropic’s new result asks a different question: can a general-purpose AI agent run the whole campaign, make the design decisions, operate specialist models, and hand scientists a ranked set of proteins that actually bind in the lab? The answer, at … Read more
A headline saying that AI can now “create viruses” sounds like the opening scene of a techno-thriller. The real experiment is both less cinematic and more scientifically interesting. Researchers from Stanford University and the Arc Institute used the genome language models Evo 1 and Evo 2 to generate candidate genomes for bacteriophages, viruses that infect … Read more
An AI image company just walked into healthcare wearing a spa robe and carrying a medical scanner. Naturally, the internet reacted with the emotional range of a group chat during a fire drill: awe, suspicion, memes, and a lot of “please do not Theranos this.” The Midjourney Scanner is real enough to deserve serious attention, … Read more
AlphaGenome Open Source Guide: From GitHub To First Variant Prediction Play Written by Ezzah, Pharmaceutical Research Scholar, focused on practical, reproducible genomics workflows. Introduction The genome is not a neat instruction manual. It’s closer to a massive codebase with decades of legacy quirks, undocumented side effects, and a comments section written by evolution at 3 … Read more
Watch or Listen on YouTube MedGemma 1.5 Implementation Guide: From Deceptive Demos to Production Reality Introduction Medical AI looks deceptively simple until you touch real inputs. The day you move from “a chest X-ray JPEG” to “a CT volume with 300 slices” is the day your pipeline, your budget, and your patience all file a … Read more
