Biomedical science in the age of AI 

AI holds enormous potential for the biomedical sciences. To get there, scientists are addressing challenges around trustworthiness, training data, and tool design.

A protein thought to play a supporting role in DNA replication actually facilitates the whole process

Scientists have discovered that a protein once thought to simply help load a factor necessary for the copying of DNA, actually plays a key role in ensuring fast and reliable replication—an insight that could inform research into cancer and other diseases.

In rare cases, autoantibodies can cause severe reactions to a live-attenuated virus Chikungunya vaccine that has been discontinued in the U.S.

A new study shows that preexisting autoantibodies in a small subset of the population can allow weakened vaccine viruses to escape control, explaining some adverse events tied to this one kind of Chikungunya vaccine, which is no longer available in the U.S.
