One of the oldest and biggest longevity conferences moved this year across the Atlantic, from Copenhagen to Boston. The new location brought ARDD close to several important longevity hubs and might have contributed to this edition’s practical, entrepreneurial, and forward-oriented spirit. We have already reported on the unprecedented panel where FDA named longevity a priority....

A new study suggests that CT scans can provide information about a wide range of conditions, including some not typically diagnosed through imaging. Direct comparison with human radiologists is the next step [1]. Getting more from a scan A CT scan’s goal is usually to answer a concrete clinical question, such as what is causing...

This AI startup, which lists Nobel laureate David Baker among its co-founders, has announced a “world model” of a cell that can simulate both its natural state and responses to successive perturbations, potentially transforming biological research. Living in a simulation Simulating a living organism on a computer (in silico) has been a dream of both...

A new study has pit an advanced large language model against human physicians in tasks involving complex reasoning, treatment recommendations, and messy real-world patient records [1]. Testing a “thinking” model The dream of a ‘computer doctor’ has existed since at least 1959 [2], but until the recent rise of large language models, no computer program...

A new system, which consists of a large LLM and a network of agentic tools, outperformed several other models and human physicians [1]. Too rare to easily diagnose Rare diseases can be notoriously hard to diagnose. Patients average over 5 years to receive a correct diagnosis, enduring repeated referrals, misdiagnoses, and unnecessary interventions in what...

In a preprint published in bioRxiv, Prof. Vadim Gladyshev and a team of researchers have used an artificial intelligence-based system to discover a wide variety of potential interventions, including a drug that significantly improves biomarkers of frailty in mice. Repurposing previous data Previous research efforts have created a massive dataset in the form of the...
