The ability to quantify the extent of kidney damage and predict the life remaining in the kidney, using an image obtained at the time when a patient visits the hospital for a kidney biopsy, now is possible using a computer model based on artificial intelligence (AI).
Eisai Co., Ltd. and Merck (MRK), known as MSD outside the United States and Canada, announced that they received Breakthrough Therapy Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Eisai's multiple receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor LENVIMA® (lenvatinib) in combination with Merck's anti-PD-1 therapy KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) for the potential treatment of patients with advanced and/or metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
he gene-editing technology CRISPR could very well one day rid the world of its most devastating diseases, allowing us to simply edit away the genetic code responsible for an illness. One of the things standing in the way of turning that fantasy into reality, though, is the problem of off-target effects. Now Microsoft is hoping to use artificial intelligence to fix this problem.
Gene therapies are an undeniably exciting new frontier for medicine. From Kymriah's genetically modified, cancer-hunting immune cells, to Luxturna's vision-restoring healthy gene replacement, these therapies are fundamentally unlike 20th-century medicines which generally require ongoing drug treatment. Gene therapies can be one-off doses that in effect, cure a specific disease.
Pfizer has signed on to fund the launch of a hunt for a slate of small molecules that can degrade proteins, a key therapeutic pathway that’s been playing a role in prostate cancer and other areas.
Despite the availability of endoscopic therapy, many patients in the United States undergo surgical resection for non-malignant colorectal polyps. We aimed to quantify and examine trends in the use of surgery for non-malignant colorectal polyps in a nationally representative sample.
US-based gene sequencing firm Illumina has signed an agreement with Guangzhou KingMed Diagnostics Group to co-develop new oncology and hereditary disease testing applications in China.
Johnson & Johnson (J&J) has signed 15 new partnerships to explore, develop and advance new medical devices, therapeutics and consumer health solutions.
Two months after expanding a licensing deal with Genentech, privately-held Arvinas LLC struck another lucrative deal with a major pharmaceutical company. Connecticut-based Arvinas inked a deal with Pfizer worth up to $830 million to develop small molecules that can degrade proteins.
Microsoft has partnered with and invested in US-based Adaptive Biotechnologies to map the human immune system genetics using artificial intelligence (AI) for early detection and diagnosis of multiple diseases, including cancer.
