Gene Therapy Shows Promise Against TDP‑43 Neurodegeneration in Mice
Among the proteins implicated in age‑related neurodegeneration, TDP‑43 has taken on growing importance: its misfolding and mislocalization are now linked to frontotemporal dementia (FTD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and are estimated to be present in more than half of Alzheimer’s cases. Faster cognitive decline, greater brain atrophy, and worsening memory loss are all associated with TDP-43.

AI Model Predicts Cancer Treatment Response from Tumor Genotype
Researchers at University of California, San Diego have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) model that can translate a tumor’s complex genetic profile into predictions about how that cancer may respond to treatment. The foundation model, called MutationProjector, was trained on genomic data from more than 30,000 tumors across 10 solid cancer types, and validated through testing across multiple independent patient cohorts. Led by Trey Ideker, PhD, professor of medicine at UC San Diego School of Medicine and director of the Big Data Institute at the University of Oxford, the researchers say the model offers a new framework for connecting cancer mutations to the biological pathways that drive treatment response.
