AI detects early signs of Parkinson's disease through non-invasive blood testing.

An AI tool called CRANK-MS has been developed to detect Parkinson's disease years before symptoms appear by analyzing metabolites in blood samples. The tool uses machine learning to identify patterns and correlations between metabolites, and was able to detect Parkinson's disease risk with an accuracy of up to 96%. The researchers hope to test the system on larger cohorts in more parts of the world to see if the AI analysis holds up for Parkinson's disease.

Immune cell response to non-nutritive sweeteners revealed in study.

A pilot study conducted by the Leibniz Institute for Food Systems Biology at the Technical University of Munich found that even dietary intake levels of non-nutritive sweeteners, such as saccharin, acesulfame-K, and cyclamate, can modulate the copy rate of various genes in white blood cells, sensitizing them to certain immune stimuli. The study also suggests that taste receptors may act as sweetener sensors of the cellular immune system. Further research is needed to determine the health implications of these findings.
