💊 AI-powered Drug Implant

Happy Friday and September!

Scientists have created an AI-powered drug implant that could change how drugs are regulated. And AI now has the ability to ‘smell’ based on molecule structures.

💊 Scientists Develop AI-powered Drug Implant 

Scientists have created an AI-powered medical implant that can detect when a patient needs medication.

The implant, developed by researchers at MIT and the University of Galway, uses 'soft robotics' technology to administer medicine and sense rejection by the body.

It can change its shape to bypass tissue build-up and has the potential to provide long-lasting therapeutic action. The implant also uses mechanotherapy to prevent scar tissue formation.

The researchers developed an algorithm to predict changes needed to maintain drug dosage, allowing for consistent and responsive dosing over extended periods.

This discovery could enhance efficacy and reduce the need for device replacement. (Read More)

👃 AI Can Now Predict ‘Smells’ From Molecules

An AI system can describe the smell of compounds by analyzing their molecular structures.

The system's descriptions are similar to those of trained human noses. This could help researchers design new synthetic scents and understand how the brain interprets smell.

Smells have a direct route to the brain's memory and emotional centers, which is why they can evoke specific memories. Neurobiologist Alexander Wiltschko and his team at Osmo designed an AI system to associate descriptive words with these smells.

The AI analyzed the chemical structure of odorants to determine the relationship between structure and aroma. The researchers then created a principal odor map (POM) that the AI used to predict the scent of new molecules.

However, it doesn't reveal much about the biology of smell. The next step is to understand how odorants combine and compete to create unique smells. 

This will be challenging due to the vast number of possible combinations. (Read More)
