Interpreting Large-Scale Medical Datasets

Computer scientists at Helmholtz Munich developed a generative model named scPoli (single-cell population level integration), that enables multi-scale representations of cells and samples. The model performs data integration of high-quality large-scale datasets of single cells to create valuable single-cell reference maps of the human body, so-called single-cell atlases, for medical research.

First Integrated Single-Cell Atlas of the Human Lung

Can a human organ be mapped on a single-cell level to learn about the functionality of each individual cell? And can we learn how different these cells are from person to person? Researchers have taken up this challenge and developed the Human Lung Cell Atlas using artificial intelligence (AI)-based techniques.

New targets for CAR-T cell therapy against acute myeloid leukemia through AI-assisted analysis

Unlike other forms of blood cancer, acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cannot currently be treated with CAR-T cell immunotherapy. The reason is that specific molecular targets with which certain immune cells could specifically target AML cells are lacking. Researchers have now succeeded in discovering such targets.

AI Helps to Spot Single Diseased Cells

Researchers developed a novel artificial intelligence algorithm for clinical applications called “scArches”. It efficiently compares patients’ cells with a reference atlas of cells of healthy individuals. This enables physicians to pinpoint cells in disease and prioritize them for personalized treatment in each patient.
