Development for leukemia treatment

Jerusalem: Israeli researchers have developed a new method combining biology and artificial intelligence to treat leukemia, Bar Ilan University (BIU) in central Israel said.

The treatment focuses on destroying cancer cells without endangering healthy ones, BIU noted.

In a study published in the journal Nature Communications, BIU researchers used machine learning to identify small molecules capable of safely destroying the protein actin in cancer cells.

The new method may replace chemotherapy and other biological therapies.
