How old are you, biologically? AI can tell your 'true' age by looking at your chest

Sciencedaily.com 

Scientists have developed an AI model that accurately estimates a patient's age, using chest radiographs of healthy individuals collected from multiple facilities. Furthermore, they found a positive relationship between differences in the AI-estimated and chronological ages and a variety of chronic diseases, such as hypertension, hyperuricemia, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In the future, it is expected that AI biomarkers will be developed to predict life expectancy, estimate the severity of chronic diseases... Читать дальше...

Novel treatment based on gene editing safely and effectively removes HIV-like virus from genomes of non-human primates

Sciencedaily.com 

A single injection of a novel CRISPR gene-editing treatment safely and efficiently removes SIV -- a virus related to the AIDS-causing agent HIV -- from the genomes of non-human primates, scientists now report. The groundbreaking work complements previous experiments as the basis for the first-ever clinical trial of an HIV gene-editing technology in human patients, which was authorized by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2022.

Pollutants are important to biodiversity's role in spread of wildlife diseases

Sciencedaily.com 

Conventional wisdom among ecologists holds that the more species there are inhabiting an ecosystem, the less vulnerable any one species will be to a threat like a parasite. A new study of tadpoles illustrates how overlapping biological and environmental factors can complicate how we value protecting diverse animal communities. The researchers found that environmental pollutants like road salt influence whether increased biodiversity helps or hinders disease outbreaks in wildlife, which can complicate... Читать дальше...

Positive metabolic effects of gastric bypass disappear quickly

Sciencedaily.com 

A new study raises questions about the efficacy of bariatric operations involving gastric bypass. The results show that the biggest metabolic changes happened directly after surgery. Just a year after the operation, the concentration of metabolites and fats had returned to almost the same levels as before the procedure.

Without aggressive climate action, U.S. property values will take a hit from escalating wildfire risk and tree mortality, study finds

Sciencedaily.com 

Research attempts to quantify the value of U.S. property at risk in forested areas exposed to increased ecological disturbance associated with climate change, such as wildfire and tree mortality. Property exposed to such climate risks, especially in California, is project to climb substantially if emission-reduction measures are not taken.

Neuroscientists successfully test theory that forgetting is actually a form of learning

Sciencedaily.com 

Neuroscientists report the first results from experimental tests designed to explore the idea that 'forgetting' might not be a bad thing, and that it may represent a form of learning -- and outline results that support their core idea. Seemingly lost memories can be retrieved and updated by environmental cues, which means this research has implications for a range of diseases such as Alzheimer's.
