Machine-learning algorithm hunts for brain-damaging proteins

Summary

Nutrition label

91% Informative

A machine-learning algorithm has developed a tool to study the behavior of proteins in cells to predict their ability to trigger neurodegenerative diseases.

In Italy , an estimated 1 million people are affected, and a typical patient costs about 70,000 euros on average.

In the cellular environment, these proteins have the ability to create biomolecular condensates, highly entangled clumps that, under certain conditions, become insoluble in water.
