When viruses infect cells, changes in the cell nucleus occur, and these can be observed through fluorescence microscopy. Using fluoresence images from live cells, researchers at the University of Zurich have trained an artificial neural network to reliably recognize cells that are infected by adenoviruses or herpes viruses. The procedure also identifies severe acute infections at an early stage.

Humans find AI to be a frustrating teammate when playing a cooperative game together, posing challenges for "teaming intelligence," study shows.
Texas A&M researchers designed a blood vessel model that mimics its state of health and disease, paving the way for cardiovascular drug advancements with better precision.
Texas A&M research found participants who watched a running shoe commercial with background music had a higher emotional response.
Classic antidepressants could help improve modern cancer treatments. They slowed the growth of pancreatic and colon cancers in mice, and when combined with immunotherapy, they even stopped the cancer growth long-term. In some cases the tumors disappeared completely, researchers at UZH and USZ have found. Their findings will now be tested in human clinical trials.
The baby girl was born roughly 10,000 years ago, after the end of the last Ice Age in what is now Liguria, northwestern Italy, but didn’t survive more than two months.
A Texas A&M study is a first step in designing more advanced tools to understand and engineer bacteria-host interaction toward biomedical applications.
Coral reefs could be almost extinct in 30 to 50 years, under the worst-case scenario, according to an international group of scientific experts, including University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa research professor Robert H. Richmond, who identified and discussed the requirements for coral reef survival in an article in Biological Conservation.
