AI May Soon Replace Mice Models in Brain Cancer Research

This may soon change after Uppsala University researchers used artificial intelligence (“AI”) to develop a new technique to study brain cancer. The technique is based on the transplantation of tumor cells to zebrafish embryos, which are then observed using AI. This technique can partially replace the mouse models that are…
