Researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) have developed an artificial intelligence system that can recognize teeth and detect possible cavities in dental X-rays. Developed in Ribeirão Preto, the tool is designed to support dentists in analyzing images, potentially making clinical assessments faster and more precise. The technology was developed through a collaboration between […]

Scientists have created the first viruses designed by artificial intelligence, marking a breakthrough that could lead to new medical treatments while raising important safety concerns. Bacteriophages infect only bacteria and already help treat stubborn bacterial infections. Using genome language models, the genetic counterpart of the AI systems behind chatbots, Dr. Brian Hie of Stanford University […]

A person’s teeth could offer an unexpected indicator of survival after pancreatic cancer surgery. Patients who had at least 21 natural teeth lived nearly two years longer on average than those with fewer teeth. Researchers believe oral health may reflect long-term exposure to inflammation, poor nutrition, frailty, and other health challenges. Researchers at Hiroshima University […]
