In a groundbreaking study published in Nature Communications, researchers identified three new distinct subtypes of Parkinson's Disease using AI. Additionally, a collaborative effort involving MIT, ETH Zurich, and other institutions utilized unsupervised AI to analyze chromatin images from 560 tissue samples of 122 patients. This research identified eight distinct cell states across all stages of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), potentially improving the staging and treatment of breast cancer. The study, led by Caroline Uhler and Ph.D. student Xinyi Zhang, also highlighted the use of AI models to identify certain breast tumor stages likely to progress to invasive cancer.
