Nature does not waste energy on useless dynamics; every biochemical storm we experience has paid a price in terms of natural selection to ensure we are here today to tell the story. Jealousy acts as an ancestral g

The integration of generative AI in the Life Sciences: towards predictive biology
The meeting of molecular biology and advanced artificial intelligence is marking a historic turning point for medicine. This is not simply about more powerful tools, but about a real paradigm shift: we are moving from a science that observes and describes life to one that can predict it — and increasingly, design it. For decades, biomedical research relied on a slow and costly trial-and-error approach. Developing a new drug could take more than ten years and cost over $2 bill

A simple test for a complex disease: Alzheimer’s – Prof. Antonio Giordano
A new line of research is opening very different scenarios: a single drop of blood might be enough to obtain precise information on the disease Diagnosing Alzheimer’s has never been simple. Until today, to have a reliable confirmation of the disease, it is often necessary to resort to expensive or invasive tests, such as PET brain scans or the withdrawal of cerebrospinal fluid through a lumbar puncture. Effective procedures, certainly, but not always easily accessible or acce
