A domestic giant in imaging equipment

Imaging equipment is an indispensable medical product for building a clinical diagnosis and treatment system. Medical imaging equipment interacts with the human body through a certain medium (such as X-rays, electromagnetic fields, ultrasound, etc.), and presents the structure and density of internal tissues and organs of the human body in the form of images for diagnostic physicians to judge and evaluate the health status of the human body. Commonly used medical imaging equipment in clinical practice includes computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MR), X-ray imaging equipment, nuclear medicine diagnostic equipment, and ultrasound equipment (US). Medical imaging of different modalities has different working principles, imaging characteristics, application scenarios, and advantages and disadvantages, but the functions are relatively consistent: Medical imaging equipment is one of the basic diagnostic options before most diseases are currently intervened, especially in the context of aging in China. Most aging-related diseases such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular ...

Yingsi Intelligence has discovered an AI driven WRN inhibitor that targets highly microsatellite unstable cancer

WRN has been identified as a synthetic lethal target in highly microsatellite unstable (MSI-H) cancer cells, with therapeutic potential for MSI-H tumor patients who do not respond to existing therapies. The innovative module Alchemisty under Yingsi Intelligent Chemistry42 utilizes non-equilibrium switching method to accurately and quickly estimate the binding free energy of protein ligand complexes, simplifying and accelerating the optimization process of ISM2196. In preclinical studies, ISM2196 has demonstrated strong in vivo anti-tumor efficacy in various MSI-H cancer models, with good selectivity, safety, and ADMET (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity) characteristics. Yingsi Intelligent, a clinical stage biopharmaceutical technology company driven by generative artificial intelligence (AI), announced the nomination of preclinical candidate drug ISM2196, a potential “best in class” WRN inhibitor discovered by AI, aimed at treating advanced metastatic microsatellite instability (MSI) cancer through synthetic lethal strategies.
