MIT research shows that high-fat diets reprogram liver cells into a stem-like state, increasing cancer risk by making cells more vulnerable to mutations, with potential drug targets identified to prevent progression to cancer.
OpenAI collaborated with Retro Bio to develop GPT‑4b micro, a specialized AI model for protein engineering, which has successfully accelerated research in stem cell reprogramming and DNA repair, demonstrating significant improvements over traditional methods and promising advancements in regenerative medicine.
Scientists have developed a new method called transient-naive-treatment (TNT) reprogramming, which effectively erases a cell's epigenetic memory, allowing it to be better reprogrammed as a stem cell. This breakthrough could have significant implications for cell therapies and biomedical research, as induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can be used to model diseases and develop therapies. The new method addresses limitations in conventional iPSC generation, potentially advancing the progress of individualized cell-based therapies.
