Two new AI systems can now develop scientific hypotheses, design experiments, and analyze data in hours instead of months. The breakthrough could give human researchers "superpowers" in discovering new treatments for diseases.
Scientists at Cleveland Clinic, RIKEN, and IBM just smashed through a barrier that's stumped drug researchers for decades, using quantum computers to model proteins 40 times larger than what was possible six months ago. This breakthrough could slash the decade-long timeline it currently takes to develop new medicines.
A new drug called EG501 significantly improved cognitive function in lupus patients during a 12-week trial, offering hope for the 80% who struggle with debilitating brain fog. Vanderbilt researchers discovered the biological cause and successfully targeted it with treatment.
Scientists turned one of the world's most dangerous drugs into a breakthrough pain medication that relieves pain without causing addiction or breathing problems in early tests. The discovery could transform how millions manage pain safely.
A medication already being tested for hepatitis C shows promising results against hepatitis E, a deadly virus that kills 70,000 people yearly and has no approved treatment. Scientists discovered bemnifosbuvir stops the virus from replicating without harming healthy cells.
A robot scientist named Eve is revolutionizing drug research by independently screening thousands of compounds and designing experiments on its own. The AI-powered platform identified a promising malaria treatment in 2018 and represents a new era where labs operate like smart factories instead of craft workshops.
A nonprofit is using AI to match 4,000 existing drugs with 18,000 diseases in less than a day, potentially bringing treatments to millions suffering from rare conditions. Every Cure has already identified 10 promising treatments since 2022.
