AI detects cancer and viral infections with nanometre precision https://lnkd.in/dpHusvnw 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝗯𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗴𝗻𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀. A scientific team from the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), the Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC) and the Fundación Biofísica Bizkaia (FBB, located at the Biophysics Institute) has developed an artificial intelligence that can differentiate cancer cells from normal cells, as well as detect the earliest stages of viral infection inside cells. The findings, published in the journal Nature Machine Intelligence, pave the way for the development of new diagnostic techniques and disease monitoring strategies. The tool, AINU (AI of the NUcleus), scans high-resolution images of cells. The images are obtained with a special microscopy technique called STORM, which creates an image that captures far more detail than normal microscopes can see. The high-definition snapshots reveal structures with nanometre-scale resolution. A nanometre (nm) is one billionth of a metre, and an individual strand of human hair is about 100,000 nm wide. AI can detect rearrangements within cells as small as 20 nm, or 5,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair. These alterations are too small and subtle for human observers to detect with traditional methods. ‘The resolution of these images is powerful enough for our AI to recognise specific patterns and differences with remarkable accuracy, including changes in the way DNA is organised within cells, helping to detect alterations very soon after they occur. We believe that, one day, this kind of information may allow doctors to gain time to monitor disease, personalise treatments and improve patient outcomes,’ says ICREA research professor Pia Cosma, co-lead author of the study and a researcher at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona.
