Congratulate to Dr. Jerry Wang on Nature Biomedical Engineering Publication | Causal AI Model Identifies New Combination Therapies for Cold Tumors Researchers from Westlake University, Caltech, and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center have developed a powerful machine-learning framework, Morpheus, that identifies molecular changes capable of transforming cold tumors-those lacking T cells-into hot tumors, which are heavily infiltrated by T cells and more responsive to immunotherapy. This work, published in Nature Biomedical Engineering, could help unlock new strategies for making immunotherapy more effective against tumors that have been difficult to treat, including colorectal cancer and breast cancer.
