Researchers have developed an AI tool that can help determine whether unfamiliar bacteria carry genetic features linked to disease. By enabling the detection of harmful bacteria before they infect humans, this could transform pandemic preparedness.

Although recurrent wheezing is a major respiratory disorder among infants and toddlers, standardized protocols have not been established for its diagnosis and management, owing to its diverse etiology. To address this gap, a panel of experts, convened by the Committee of Pediatrics, China Medical Education Association, has proposed novel evidence-based standardized guidelines for the clinical management of recurrent wheezing, which can serve as a benchmark for improving diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic efficacy worldwide.

Some of the signs of ageing in human cells originate in the cell nucleus, because the packaged form of DNA changes with age. This has now been demonstrated by PSI researchers. It means that older cells can no longer react appropriately to external stimuli, and this can even lead to diseases. This insight could help scientists to curb such alterations and support better health in old age.
