Summary: Researchers have developed a Genetic Progression Score (GPS) using artificial intelligence to predict the progression of autoimmune diseases from preclinical symptoms to full disease. The GPS model integrates genetic data and electronic health records to provide personalized risk scores, improving prediction accuracy by 25% to 1,000% over existing models.This...
Summary: A new analysis challenges long-standing claims about the ease of implanting false memories, often cited in court cases to discredit witnesses.
