A team of researchers has harnessed Google’s AI venture DeepMind to develop a bacterial injection system which can inject proteins, including cancer-killing drugs and gene therapies, directly into human cells.
A team of researchers has harnessed Google’s AI venture DeepMind to develop a bacterial injection system which can inject proteins, including cancer-killing drugs and gene therapies, directly into human cells.
Using the Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool AlphaFold the team including from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Harvard University engineered a tiny syringe-like injection structure, naturally produced by Photorhabdus bacteria which primarily infects insects.
These syringe structures, described in the journal Nature, were used to deliver a range of useful proteins to both human cells and cells in live mice.
