Leveraging the power of AI and machine learning technologies, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine developed a more effective model for predicting how patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer will respond to chemotherapy. The model harnesses whole-slide tumor imaging and gene expression analyses in a way that outperforms previous models using a single data type.

A person’s “bioenergetic age” – or how youthfully their cells generate energy – might be a key indicator of whether they’re at risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, new research from Weill Cornell Medicine shows.

The study, published Feb. 24 in Nature Communications, suggests healthy living can turn back the bioenergetic clock for some people, helping them fend off...

A person’s bioenergetic clock ticks forward based on genetics, but having a healthy lifestyle—such as eating a plant-based diet and exercising—may help keep Alzheimer's symptoms at bay. Credit: Shutterstock
