AI Tool Enhances Brain Tumor Treatment with Real-Time DNA Decoding

An AI tool called Charm has been developed to assist surgeons in identifying the genetic profile of gliomas, a type of aggressive brain tumor, during surgery. While its accuracy may not match current genetic tests, Charm can swiftly predict a tumor's profile, allowing doctors to proceed with appropriate treatment without the need for additional surgeries. The tool can also distinguish between malignant and benign tumor cells and determine the tumor's grade, potentially eliminating the need for a pathologist during the operation. This advancement in AI technology contributes to the broader use of AI in enhancing cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Uncovering the Identity of a Stone-Age Pendant Wearer Through DNA Analysis

Researchers from the Max Planck Institute have successfully isolated ancient human DNA from a Paleolithic deer tooth pendant, using a new, non-destructive method for isolating DNA from ancient bones and teeth. From the DNA retrieved they were able to reconstruct a precise genetic profile of the woman who used or wore the pendant, as well as of the deer from which the tooth was taken. The tooth remains fully intact after analysis, providing testimony to a new era in ancient DNA research, in which it may become possible to directly identify the users of ornaments and tools produced in the deep past.
