Insilico Medicine
In a new paper, InSilico has reported on its impressive success with a drug against idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis that was created by AI “from A to Z” and is currently in Phase 2 trials [1]. AI against aging Many people in the longevity community hope that the might of AI will help us to untangle...
Medical robot
Scientists at Google have created an AI chatbot for conducting medical interviews. It matched or surpassed human primary care practitioners on most criteria, including accuracy, politeness, and empathy [1]. AI, MD Before doctors begin treating, they do a lot of talking. The initial conversation with the patient is extremely important, as it can lead to...
Robot detective
Recent research published in Nature Communications has used machine learning algorithms to find new compounds that can eliminate senescent cells [1]. Searching for new senolytics Senolytics are molecules that destroy senescent cells. Only a small number of such molecules have been identified, and only two have shown efficacy in clinical trials: dasatinib and quercetin in...

It was a “pop-up city” conceived by the tech entrepreneur Vitalik Buterin, creator of Ethereum, and a group of like-minded people to facilitate co-living and collaboration in fields like crypto,...
AI drug discovery
Research published today in Nature Aging has described a machine learning algorithm that finds senescent cell-removing drugs (senolytics) and compared the algorithm's discoveries to existing compounds. A quest for effective therapeutics What Are Senolytics? Senotherapeutics for Senescent CellsSenolytics work by targeting one of several pro-survival pathways that senescent cells use to evade apoptosis and cling...
AI answers healthcare questions.
Scientists have compared doctor-written and chatbot-generated responses to healthcare-related questions, and the results don’t look good for Team Human [1]. Ask your doctor? Access to healthcare has been linked to longer lifespan, and good healthcare often starts with a good initial consultation. A group of researchers, including scientists from the University of California, San Diego...
