A new application of artificial intelligence could help researchers solve medical mysteries ranging from cancer to Alzheimer's.
It's a 3D model of a living human cell that lets scientists study the interior structures of a cell even when they can only see the exterior and the nucleus — the largest structure in a cell. The model was unveiled to the public Wednesday by the Allen Institute for Cell Science in Seattle.
"This lets you see things with a simple microscope that are going to be helpful to researchers all over the world — including in less affluent places," Roger Brent, an investigator at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle says.
