AI Discovers Suspected Trigger of Alzheimer's, And Maybe a Treatment

Artificial intelligence is a broad term encompassing many different subtypes, from apps that can write poetry to algorithms that are able to spot patterns that would otherwise get missed – and now AI modeling has just played a major role in an Alzheimer's study.

Supported by AI tools, scientists found that the PHGDH gene plays a secondary but important role in the development of Alzheimer’s, which was hidden so far. This data could facilitate the development of new treatments.

AI Unveils Key Alzheimer's Gene and Potential Treatment

Researchers at UCSD have used AI to identify a gene, PHGDH, as a cause of Alzheimer's, leading to potential new treatment options. (Read More)
