Researchers used artificial intelligence to develop heat-resistant lipid nanoparticles that kept mRNA vaccines stable at room temperature for up to a year. Separately, an AI model improved detection of heart transplant rejection, while laboratory studies examined how chronic tobacco smoke exposure contributes to lung cancer development.
An analysis of more than 30,000 appendicitis cases found appendectomy was associated with a lower risk of subsequent colorectal cancer than antibiotic treatment alone.
