On July 9, the second day of the summit, Alex Zhavoronkov PhD, founder and CEO of Insilico Medicine, will be delivering a keynote titled “Generative AI for Drug Discovery, Longevity, and Sustainability: From Theory to Applications” from 14:20-14:40 local time, before participating in the panel discussion “Beyond human: AI, superhumans, and the quest for limitless performance & longevity” with David Sinclair, Professor of Genetics from Harvard Medical School.
Recent research highlights the transformative impact of precision medicine on breast cancer management. By tailoring treatments to the unique genetic and molecular profiles of individual tumors, precision medicine has significantly improved outcomes for patients across all major breast cancer subtypes. Key innovations, including advanced diagnostics, targeted therapies, and immunotherapy, are reshaping the landscape of breast cancer care.
It has long been recognized that sweat is a rich source of physiological information. However, its inherent inaccessibility of sweat in sedentary individuals and scenarios has restricted broader applications in health monitoring. Now, writing in the journal National Science Review, a team of researchers presents an autonomous fabric electrochemical biosensor that addresses this challenge. The device integrates biosensing fibers and a low-current iontophoresis module based on a skin-interfaced stabilized hydrogel (SSIH) electrode into a breathable textile platform, enabling gentle and efficient sweat induction. With its skin-conforming design and imperceptible operation, the system enables intuitive health interaction suitable for diverse users and everyday wear.
Water ecological health is crucial for sustainable ecosystems and human well-being. However, China's complex water environments present significant challenges for precise health assessments. After analyzing global water ecological practices, Wenqing Liu's team identified specific challenges to China's water ecological monitoring and assessment, including cognition, observation, and analysis gaps.
This study proposes an automatic liver segmentation method for computed tomography (CT) images based on an improved ResUNet, which integrates the advantages of UNet and ResNet architectures to achieve high-precision segmentation on 128×128pixel images. The model removes batch normalization layers and incorporates residual blocks, combined with data augmentation techniques, ultimately achieving excellent metrics such as a Dice coefficient of 93.08% and accuracy of 98.57%. Surpassing traditional methods, this approach provides efficient and reliable technical support for liver disease diagnosis.
