Novel bioinspired surface engineering boosts AMP identification

Higher Education Press
Peer-Reviewed Publication

In a latest research, scientists from Jiangsu University have developed an advanced method for the specific identification of adenosine 5′-monophosphate (AMP). Through bioinspired surface engineering with dual covalent receptors incorporated via precise post-imprinting modifications on mesoporous silica nanosheets, this novel approach demonstrates remarkable performance in enhancing the recognition efficiency of AMP, holding promise for applications in biochemical analysis and related areas.

Artificial intelligence in biomedicine: A key to analyzing millions of individual cells

Technical University of Munich (TUM)
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Our bodies are made up of around 75 billion cells. But what function does each individual cell perform and how greatly do a healthy person’s cells differ from those of someone with a disease? To draw conclusions, enormous quantities of data must be analyzed and interpreted. For this purpose, machine learning methods are applied. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and Helmholtz Munich have now tested self-supervised learning as a promising approach for testing 20 million cells or more.
