New image-based cellular profiling tool peers deeply into metabolic biology

Broad Institute

It then extracts features from images of stained cells and creates cellular profiles, categorizing cells based on patterns (often imperceptible to the human eye) that they share with other cells, which directly inform disease biology.

Machine learning’s growing importance in researching cells

Drug Target Review

Large language models are exceptional at collecting vast amounts of disparate information from esoteric websites, forums, book chapters, review articles, and even open access journals and then cramming the sum total of that information into a plain language summary that does a fair job of approximating human knowledge on the subject.
