UC Berkeley researchers develop new AI-powered tool to detect early signs of Alzheimer's disease
UC Berkeley researchers have developed a new AI-powered tool that can detect early signs of Alzheimer's disease with high accuracy. The tool, which is based on a deep learning algorithm, analyzes brain scans to identify subtle changes that are associated with the onset of Alzheimer's disease. The researchers believe that the tool could be used to diagnose Alzheimer's disease earlier and more accurately, leading to better outcomes for patients.
UC Berkeley scientists discover new mechanism by which cancer cells evade the immune system
UC Berkeley scientists have discovered a new mechanism by which cancer cells evade the immune system. The discovery, which was published in the journal Nature, could lead to new strategies for treating cancer. The researchers found that cancer cells can produce a protein that binds to a receptor on immune cells, preventing the immune cells from attacking the cancer cells.
