Why Read a Research Paper When You Can Turn It Into an AI Agent? 

Paper2Agent lets scientists “agentify” their published research for others to query

Have you ever read a paper in Science or Nature and thought, “Man, that research was so cool. I wish I could try that method on my own data,” only to spend a week wrestling with someone else’s undocumented repo, broken dependencies, and half-finished readme.txt?

Well, now you can, more or less.

Smart-Start Therapy for Canine B-Cell Lymphoma

September 16, 2026

Lymphoma is one of the most common cancers we see in dogs. The current standard treatment — a combination chemotherapy protocol called CHOP — has been used for decades and can put most dogs into remission. Unfortunately, the cancer usually comes back within 6 to 12 months, and once it returns, it becomes much harder to treat.
