Researchers at University of Tsukuba have comprehensively analyzed genomic binding data of transcription factors (proteins that regulate gene expression) in humans, revealing a substantial amount of unmeasured data. Their findings emphasize the urgent need for strategic prioritization in future data collection efforts to overcome research biases and deepen our understanding of disease mechanisms. To support the global research community, the results are now publicly available as an open-access database.

New Edith Cowan University (ECU) research suggests artificial intelligence chatbots like ChatGPT may help reduce mental health stigma, particularly for people hesitant to seek traditional face-to-face support. 

By comparing clinical cohorts and populations from Singapore and the US, researchers will study infectious diseases, corneal disorders, liver transplant outcomes, diabetes and lung cancer to uncover insights that drive disease and treatment differences across Asian and non-Asian populations.
