Columbia University breakthrough in Cancer Immunotherapy: New discovery offers hope for relapsed AML Patients

Columbia Engineering and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute researchers discovered that a specific T cell population plays a key role in successful immunotherapy for relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Using machine learning (DIISCO), they found that the patient's immune environment, not donor cells, determines success. This breakthrough could lead to personalized treatments and improved survival rates for AML patients.

University of Birmingham research unlocking the future of Colorectal Cancer diagnosis and the role of AI and Proteomics

Researchers at the University of Birmingham used AI and machine learning to analyze UK Biobank protein data, identifying three key biomarkers (TFF3, LCN2, CEACAM5) linked to colorectal cancer. These markers, associated with inflammation and cell adhesion, could lead to non-invasive diagnostic tools. While promising, further large-scale validation is needed to advance early detection and improve treatments.
