    According to the scientists, knowledge about the role of NEAT1 methylation in the recognition and repair of DNA damage could open up new therapeutic options for tumors with high NEAT1 expression. However, it must first be clarified whether these results, which were obtained in simple cell systems, can also be transferred to complex tumor models.

    I wonder is AI developments can speed up this process of going from lab to (hopefully) a therapeutic treatment that is available.

      Short answer, no. Long answer, nooooooo.

      Really though AI is nowhere near the media hype as it currently exists. AI can help certain analysis or attempt predictions but it can’t do experiments. Automated lab systems are expensive and finicky as hell and not cross compatible to the point that even industry doesn’t use them too much. Academia supported primarily by NIH, getting gutted by Republicans so expect it to take even longer assuming this lab manages to stay funded and extant through this administration.

        Well, I doubt Bavarian academia would be supported by a US agency or primarily affected by the US government implosion.
