New AI system predicts harmful protein clumping linked to 50+ diseases
Researchers rolled out an AI that forecasts if and why proteins form sticky clumps. These clumps are connected to over 50 diseases affecting nearly half a billion people worldwide. The AI decodes the biochemical "language" behind this deadly process.
Protein aggregation is a major cause of conditions like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and ALS. The new tool could fast-track diagnostics and treatments by mapping how proteins misbehave.
This breakthrough AI digs into the molecular interactions driving protein pile-ups — a step earlier tools struggled with.
The launch follows growing interest in AI tackling biology’s toughest puzzles, especially those tied to human health.
