Mislocalization of proteins is common in cancer and neurodegenerative disease. Institute Scholar Steven Banik developed a technology to relocate errant proteins, with the hope of correcting cellular problems caused by protein misplacement: go.nature.com/3H3Su5w

At a recent seminar, Hannah Ennerfelt shared a talk on "Peripheral immune drivers of cognitive decline in aging & AD," and Jintao Sheng discussed "Top-down attention & Alzheimer’s pathology impact cortical selectivity during learning, influencing episodic memory in older adults."

šŸ’”IMO one of the best use of AI Scientist is to reanalyze data to find new insights. Introducing #CellVoyager: AI Compbio Agent that makes new discoveries by autonomously analyzing papers/data, which we then validatešŸš€ New findings on aging, Covid, scRNAseq etc. Open source!
