The development of new machine learning tools like Alphafold and Rfdiffusion has allowed scientists to predict the structure of proteins and design them for drug discovery purposes, among other uses. Now, scientists at the Arc Institute have created Evo, an AI model that generates DNA sequences and estimates their interaction with other molecules at single-nucleotide resolution, scalable to an entire genome.

Endometriosis has been woefully under-recognized in the medical community, and consequently, the delay between onset and diagnosis is often quite long, with some women waiting up to 12 years for a diagnosis.

Three years after the U.S. FDA approval of Abbott Laboratories’ Amplatzer Amulet, results of its investigational device exemption trial failed to notably differentiate Abbott’s left atrial appendage occluder system from Boston Scientific Corp.’s market-dominant Watchman device beyond the ability to forego anticoagulants quickly after implantation.

Researchers from North Carolina State University filed for protection of miniaturized, wireless, wound-monitoring sensors that may be incorporated into swabs or wound dressings for real-time, accurate assessment of wound status.
