Beyond antibiotics: artificial intelligence-enabled anti-infective ecosystems for next-generation precision therapeutics against antimicrobial resistance.

The rapid global expansion of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threatens to undermine decades of progress in infectious disease management and highlights the limitations of conventional antibiotic-centered therapeutic strategies. Although emerging technologies-including antimicrobial peptides, bacteriophage therapy, CRISPR-based antimicrobials, microbiome therapeutics, anti-virulence approaches, nanotechnology-enabled drug delivery, and artificial intelligence (AI)-have individually demonstrated considerable promise, they are predominantly being developed as independent interventions rather than as coordinated components of an integrated therapeutic strategy. This Perspective proposes the Intelligent Anti-Infective Ecosystem (IAIE) as a conceptual systems-level framework that computationally integrates multimodal diagnostics, pathogen genomics, microbiome profiling, AI-assisted decision support, programmable precision therapeutics, ecological monitoring, and longitudinal clinical feedback within a continuously learning dynamically optimized workflow. Unlike existing paradigms that primarily optimize individual technologies or therapeutic decisions, IAIE emphasizes closed-loop coordination among complementary antimicrobial approaches to support precision-guided infection management while preserving microbiome integrity and mitigating resistance selection pressure. We further outline the core components, operational principles, translational challenges, and technology readiness of the major therapeutic platforms that could contribute to such an ecosystem, while distinguishing clinically established interventions from emerging experimental strategies. Importantly, IAIE should be interpreted as a prospective conceptual architecture rather than an existing clinical platform. Its proposed clinical value remains to be established through sequential computational, preclinical, and prospective clinical investigations using standardized microbiological, ecological, and patient-centered outcome measures. By framing antimicrobial innovation within an responsive systems perspective, IAIE provides a roadmap for future multidisciplinary research aimed at integrating artificial intelligence and systems microbiology to enable sustainable management of antimicrobial resistance.

Design of highly functional genome editors by modelling CRISPR-Cas sequences.

Gene editing has the potential to solve fundamental challenges in agriculture, biotechnology and human health. CRISPR-based gene editors derived from microorganisms, although powerful, often show notable functional tradeoffs when ported into non-native environments, such as human cells1. Artificial-intelligence-enabled design provides a powerful alternative with the potential to bypass evolutionary constraints and generate editors with optimal properties. Here, using large language models2 trained on biological diversity at scale, we demonstrate successful precision editing of the human genome with a programmable gene editor designed with artificial intelligence. To achieve this goal, we curated a dataset of more than 1 million CRISPR operons through systematic mining of 26 terabases of assembled genomes and metagenomes. We demonstrate the capacity of our models by generating 4.8× the number of protein clusters across CRISPR-Cas families found in nature and tailoring single-guide RNA sequences for Cas9-like effector proteins. Several of the generated gene editors show comparable or improved activity and specificity relative to SpCas9, the prototypical gene editing effector, while being 400 mutations away in sequence. Finally, we demonstrate that an artificial-intelligence-generated gene editor, denoted as OpenCRISPR-1, exhibits compatibility with base editing. We release OpenCRISPR-1 to facilitate broad, ethical use across research and commercial applications.

Community-driven advances in computational mass spectrometry: The perspective of EuBIC-MS members.

Advances in data acquisition, artificial intelligence, and integrative bioinformatics are driving the rapid evolution of computational mass spectrometry, and in turn, transforming modern proteomics, metabolomics, and lipidomics. These developments have greatly increased the scale and complexity of mass spectrometry data, underscoring the importance of evolving accurate, transparent, efficient and reproducible data processing workflows. Addressing these challenges requires collaborative innovation that brings together expertise in software engineering, statistics, and biology. The European Bioinformatics Community for Mass Spectrometry (EuBIC-MS), an initiative of the European Proteomics Association (EuPA), fosters a culture of open, community-driven development through its biennial Developers Meetings and Winter Schools. This commentary summarizes the scientific background and outcomes of the EuBIC-MS Developers Meeting 2025, which took place in Novacella, Italy. Three keynote presentations highlighted major frontiers in the field: deep proteome and phosphoproteome profiling, text mining for protein-protein interaction extraction, and scalable proteomics for AI-driven drug discovery. Seven community-selected hackathons addressed emerging challenges such as single-cell proteomics data analysis, FAIR metadata extraction, deep learning frameworks, R-Python interoperability, and DIA validation. Together, these efforts demonstrate the potential for scientific and technical innovation to arise from open collaboration, and highlight how community-driven initiatives can accelerate progress in computational mass spectrometry. SIGNIFICANCE: Modern proteomics increasingly depends on computational advances to translate complex, high-dimensional data into biological knowledge. The EuBIC-MS Developers Meeting 2025 exemplifies how community-driven collaboration can directly accelerate this process by bringing together experts from bioinformatics, statistics, and experimental proteomics to co-develop open, interoperable, and reproducible analytical tools. By fostering shared software frameworks, transparent benchmarking, and collaborative problem solving, the EuBIC-MS community helps ensure that technological innovation translates into reliable biological insights. This collaborative model strengthens the foundation for quantitative, system-level understanding of proteomes and establishes a sustainable path for integrating artificial intelligence and next-generation data acquisition into routine biological discovery. This commentary shows some current highlights in the field of computational mass spectrometry and community-based approaches undertaken during the most recent Developers Meeting to solve these challenges. The approaches discussed and initiated during the meeting - ranging from deep proteome profiling and phosphosite mapping to text mining, single-cell data analysis, and FAIR metadata extraction - address key bottlenecks that currently limit the biological interpretability and comparability of proteomics data.

AI echo INSIGHT study: A prospective blinded randomized trial of artificial intelligence echocardiogram interpretation.

BACKGROUND: Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is the most commonly performed cardiac imaging modality with over 30 million studies annually. Demand for timely expert interpretation continues to outpace capacity, creating diagnostic delays and inter-observer variability that impact patient care. Recent research has suggested computer vision artificial intelligence (AI) models can generate accurate preliminary comprehensive TTE reports, however, prospective evaluation is needed to determine whether AI-assisted TTE interpretation can improve clinician efficiency while preserving diagnostic accuracy. METHODS: AI ECHO INSIGHT is a prospective randomized blinded clinical trial conducted at Kaiser Permanente Northern California that will evaluate 1200 historical TTE studies (1000 consecutive unselected studies plus 200 with moderate or greater valvular disease) interpreted using three workflows: (1) AI-generated preliminary report finalized by a blinded cardiologist (AI-assisted); (2) cardiologist-generated preliminary report finalized by a blinded cardiologist (cardiologist-assisted); and (3) sonographer-generated preliminary report finalized by a blinded cardiologist (sonographer-assisted). The primary outcome is the rate of substantial change between preliminary and final reports, comparing the AI-assisted workflow to the pooled cardiologist-assisted and sonographer-assisted workflows. Secondary outcomes include cardiologist interpretation time for report finalization, superiority testing for diagnostic accuracy, and reporting consistency. CONCLUSION: AI ECHO INSIGHT is a prospective randomized blinded clinical trial evaluating the clinical impact of AI-assisted TTE interpretation on diagnostic accuracy, cardiologist efficiency, and reporting consistency in real-world echocardiography workflows. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov registration number NCT07229300.

Relationship between carcinogenicity in rodents and the induction of sister chromatid exchanges and chromosomal aberrations in Chinese hamster ovary cells.

Two independent analyses were carried out to compare the induction of sister chromatid exchanges and of chromosomal aberrations as predictors of carcinogenicity. Using both a classical and a Bayesian approach, as well as by analysis of the structural fragments generated by CASE, an artificial intelligence system, it is included that individually neither of these tests is a satisfactory predictor of carcinogenicity. However, because the analysis revealed that each of the cytogenetic assays responds to a different set of structural features associated with carcinogenicity, it can be concluded that the assays can be included in a battery of tests to improve predictivity.

An evaluation of explanations of probabilistic inference.

Providing explanations of the conclusions of decision-support systems can be viewed as presenting inference results in a manner that enhances the user's insight into how these results were obtained. The ability to explain inferences has been demonstrated to be an important factor in making medical decision-support systems acceptable for clinical use. Although many researchers in artificial intelligence have explored the automatic generation of explanations for decision-support systems based on symbolic reasoning, research in automated explanation of probabilistic results has been limited. We present the results of an an evaluation study of INSITE, a program that explains the reasoning of decision-support systems based on Bayesian belief networks. In the domain of anesthesia, we compared subjects who had access to a belief network with explanations of the inference results, to control subjects who used the same belief network without explanations. We show that, compared to control subjects, the explanation subjects demonstrated greater diagnostic accuracy, were more confident about their conclusions, were more critical of the belief network, and found the presentation of the inference results more clear.

Drug repurposing in status epilepticus.

The treatment of status epilepticus (SE) has changed little in the last 20 years, largely because of the high risks and costs of new drug development for SE. Moreover, SE poses specific challenges to drug development, such as patient diversity, logistical hurdles, and the need for acute treatment strategies that differ from chronic seizure prevention. This has reduced the appetite of industry to develop new drugs in this area. Drug repurposing is an attractive approach to address this unmet need. It offers significant advantages, including reduced development time, lower costs, and higher success rates, compared to novel drug development. Here I demonstrate how novel methods integrating biological knowledge and computational methods can be applied to drug repurposing in status epilepticus. Biological approaches focus on addressing mechanisms underlying drug resistance in SE (using for example ketamine, tacrolimus and safinamide) and longer-term consequences (using for example omaveloxolone, celecoxib and losartan). Additionally, artificial intelligence platforms, such as ChatGPT, can rapidly generate promising drug lists, while in silico methods can analyze gene expression changes to predict molecular targets. Combining AI and in silico approaches has identified several candidate drugs, including metformin, sirolimus and riluzole, for SE treatment. Despite the promise of repurposing, challenges remain, such as intellectual property issues and regulatory barriers. Nonetheless, drug repurposing presents a viable solution to the high costs and slow progress of traditional drug development for SE. This paper is based on a presentation made at the 9th London-Innsbruck Colloquium on Status Epilepticus and Acute Seizures, in April 2024.

AI-Based 3D Heterogeneous Network Model for Functional Prediction of Epigenetics.

Human biology and diseases are the result of constantly evolving processes within an intricately complex molecular network of interactions, such as epigenetic regulation. Epigenetics refers to heritable changes in gene expression that occur without alterations to the underlying DNA sequence. These changes, driven by mechanisms such as DNA methylation, histone modifications, and noncoding RNAs, play critical roles in regulating chromatin structure and gene activity. Epigenetic regulation offers valuable insights into biological systems, and when integrated with sophisticated analyses, it enables us to gain insights into gene regulation and cellular behavior. Here, we describe an artificial intelligence (AI)-based model that is capable of generating 3-dimensional (3D) heterogeneous network by integrating multimodal data for the functional prediction of epigenetic mechanisms, emphasizing its applications in medicine, developmental biology, and personalized therapeutics. Heterogeneous networks in biology are powerful tools for understanding the complex interactions and interdependencies within biological systems. Key advancements in AI and multiomics data integration have propelled this field, offering new insights into disease mechanisms, biomarker discovery, and therapeutic interventions.

In silico generation of synthetic cancer genomes using generative AI.

Understanding how genomic alterations drive cancer is key to advancing precision oncology. To detect these alterations, accurate algorithms are used; however, due to privacy concerns, few deeply sequenced cancer genomes can be shared, limiting benchmarking and representing a major obstacle to the improvement of analytic tools. To address this, we developed OncoGAN, a generative AI model combining adversarial networks and variational autoencoders to create realistic synthetic cancer genomes. Trained on large-scale genomic datasets, OncoGAN accurately reproduces somatic mutations, copy number alterations, and structural variants across cancer types while preserving donors' privacy. The synthetic genomes reflect tumor-specific mutational signatures and positional mutation patterns. Using DeepTumour, we validated the synthetic data's fidelity, showing high concordance between generated and predicted tumors. Moreover, augmenting the training data with synthetic genomes improved DeepTumour's accuracy, underscoring OncoGAN's potential to generate shareable datasets with known ground truths for benchmarking and enhancement of cancer genome analysis tools.

[RGSS-IDJ and its application to cranial computed tomography].

RGSS-IDJ is developed as the Japanese version of Report Generation Support System for Imaging Diagnosis (RGSS-ID), which is a developmental computer system that applies artificial intelligence (AI) methods to a reporting system. Now RGSS-IDJ supports the report generation of cranial computed tomography. A representation scheme called Generalized Finding Representation (GFR) is proposed, to bridge the gap between natural language expressions in the radiographic report and AI methods. GRF for RGSS-IDJ is the same as for RGSS-ID. The basic style for entering the findings on the radiograph is the dialogue system with the routine of query and answering it by selecting items with a mouse. This system encodes the input findings into the network expressions, which are represented as the list form in the LISP computer language. And, it reserves them into the knowledge data base. The content of the report will be able to be utilized for various analyses within AI paradigm. The final radiographic report is made in the natural Japanese language.

Privacy-hardened and hallucination-resistant synthetic data generation with logic-solvers.

MOTIVATION: Machine-generated or synthetic data is a valuable resource for training artificial intelligence algorithms, evaluating rare workflows, and sharing data under stricter data legislations. However, current statistical and deep learning methods struggle with large data volumes, are prone to hallucinating scenarios incompatible with reality, and seldom quantify privacy meaningfully. RESULTS: Here, we introduce Genomator, a logic solving approach (SAT solving), which efficiently produces private and realistic representations of the original data. We demonstrate the method on genomic data, which arguably is the most complex and private information. We benchmark Genomator against state-of-the-art methodologies (Markov generation, Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Network and Conditional Restricted Boltzmann Machines), demonstrating a 40%-530% accuracy improvement and 57%-172% higher privacy. Genomator is also 3-100 times more efficient, making it the only tested method that scales to whole genomes. We show the universal trade-off between privacy and accuracy, and use Genomator's tuning capability to cater to all applications along the spectrum, from provable private representations of sensitive cohorts, to datasets with indistinguishable pharmacogenomic profiles. Demonstrating the production-scale generation of tuneable synthetic genomes hold great potential for balancing underrepresented populations in medical research and advancing global data exchange. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: Genomator is available at https://github.com/csiro/genomator.

Integrating Next-Generation Sequencing into von Willebrand Disease Diagnostics: Insights from the PCM-EVW-ES Multicenter Project.

Von Willebrand disease (VWD) is the most common inherited bleeding disorder, caused by quantitative or qualitative defects in von Willebrand factor (VWF). Diagnosis is challenging and requires integrating bleeding history, VWF antigen and activity measurements, FVIII assays, and specialized phenotyping. Genetic testing is increasingly recognized as a key component. Here, we review current concepts in VWD diagnostics and highlight the Spanish Clinical and Molecular Profile of von Willebrand Disease (PCM-EVW-ES) project as a model for genomics-enabled precision medicine. PCM-EVW-ES is a multicenter initiative involving 48 hospitals, centralized phenotypic testing, and next-generation sequencing of the VWF coding region, enabling definitive classification in 730 individuals with VWD to date. Harmonized recruitment criteria and standardized workflows improve subtype assignment, uncover complex genotypes, refine genotype-phenotype correlations, and facilitate the identification of asymptomatic carriers. The PCM-EVW-ES variant spectrum highlights recurrent disease-causing variants in Spain and underscores the value of coordinated national registries for variant curation. Building on these data, we propose a diagnostic algorithm in which bleeding assessment and first-line VWF/FVIII assays, combined with, early VWF molecular testing increases diagnostic accuracy and guides targeted second-line investigations to confirm and refine VWD subtype classification. We also outline persisting challenges, including the interpretation of variants of uncertain significance and patients without identifiable pathogenic VWF variants, and future directions integrating third-generation sequencing, expanded gene panels, functional studies, and artificial-intelligence-driven multiomic approaches. Together, these advances illustrate how robust multicenter studies can bridge the gap between complex diagnostics and clinical practice in VWD.

GENPRO: automatic generation of Prolog clause files for knowledge-based systems in the biomedical sciences.

With the increasing interest in using knowledge-based approaches for protein structure prediction and modelling, there is a requirement for general techniques to convert molecular biological data into structures that can be interpreted by artificial intelligence programming languages (e.g. Prolog). We describe here an interactive program that generates files in Prolog clausal form from the most commonly distributed protein structural data collections. The program is flexible and enables a variety of clause structures to be defined by the user through a general schema definition system. Our method can be extended to include other types of molecular biological database or those containing non-structural information, thus providing a uniform framework for handling the increasing volume of data available to knowledge-based systems in biomedicine.

A Sentiment-Based Comparison of AI- and Physician-Generated Empathic Statements in Palliative Care.

CONTEXT: Empathic communication promotes trust in patient-provider relationships. As healthcare integrates artificial intelligence (AI) into patient communication, we have yet to understand how these models' communication compares to that of physicians. OBJECTIVES: Our primary objectives were to examine patient preferences for AI-generated vs. palliative care physician-generated empathic statements addressing fear and anxiety around cancer treatment, and to analyze associations between linguistic features and patient preferences. METHODS: We conducted a secondary analysis of the PALL-AI trial, a randomized controlled survey comparing cancer patients' preferences of AI- to physician-generated empathic statements. Physicians and AI were provided the same prompt with a maximum sentence length. Patient preferences for each statement were measured in blinded surveys. We analyzed sentiment of the statements using the Valence Aware Dictionary and Sentiment Reasoner (VADER) and the National Research Council Canada (NRC) Emotion Lexicon. We evaluated associations between sentiment scores and patient preferences using Spearman's correlation coefficients. RESULTS: A total of 105 patients completed blinded surveys, preferring the AI-generated statement 72.4% of the time. VADER sentiment analysis showed all three AI statements displayed positive sentiment, while all three physician statements displayed negative sentiment. Controlling for statement length, AI statements used twice as many positive words as human statements. However, they contained a similar number of negative words. Of the eight NRC emotions, "trust" and "joy" demonstrated the strongest correlations with patient preference. CONCLUSION: Patients preferred AI-generated statements around cancer care over those from palliative care physicians when standardized for prompt and statement length. Analysis shows AI-generated statements contain more positive language which may be the factor driving patient preference toward AI.

Cancer-associated fusion transcripts: mechanisms, functional roles, and clinical implications.

Fusion transcripts are hybrid RNA molecules generated through genomic rearrangements or RNA-level fusion mechanisms. They represent important molecular features of many cancers and can function as oncogenic drivers, diagnostic biomarkers, prognostic indicators, and therapeutic targets. Since the discovery of the BCR::ABL1 fusion in chronic myeloid leukemia, numerous cancer-associated fusion transcripts have been identified across hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. These fusion events encompass diverse biological mechanisms, including constitutively active kinases, aberrant transcription factors, epigenetic regulators, and non-coding fusion RNAs. This review summarizes current knowledge of the mechanisms underlying fusion transcript formation, including genomic rearrangement-dependent and rearrangement-independent processes, as well as fusion circular RNAs. The functional roles of fusion transcripts in cancer biology and their clinical relevance as diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive biomarkers are discussed. In addition, recent advances in fusion transcript detection and characterization are reviewed, including next-generation sequencing, long-read sequencing, single-cell approaches, artificial intelligence-assisted computational methods, and CRISPR/Cas9-mediated strategies for functional modeling and functional validation of fusion transcripts. Despite the rapid expansion of fusion transcript catalogs, the biological and clinical significance of most identified fusion events remains incompletely understood. Future progress will depend on integrating advanced sequencing technologies, artificial intelligence-assisted computational prioritization, and systematic functional validation to distinguish clinically actionable fusion transcripts from biologically neutral events. Such multidisciplinary approaches will be essential for translating fusion transcript research into precision oncology and improving cancer diagnosis, patient stratification, and targeted therapy.

Targeted Nanoparticle Delivery CRISPR/Cas9: overcoming biological barriers, enhancing stability, and improving therapeutic precision.

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) has emerged as a promising gene-editing platform for genetic disorders; however, its in vivo application remains limited by low delivery efficiency and biological barriers. Many CRISPR payloads fail to reach target sites due to extracellular degradation, immune clearance, and intracellular trafficking limitations. This review examines the interplay between biological barriers and nanoparticle engineering strategies for CRISPR/Cas9 delivery. A barrier-oriented engineering approach is proposed as a central framework, encompassing ligand-based surface modification for enhanced targeting and uptake, improved circulation stability via PEGylation and biomimetic coatings, and optimized payload release through endosomal escape strategies. Stimulus-responsive nanoparticle systems further enable spatiotemporal control over payload release. Nuclear targeting strategies, including optimization of nuclear localization signals (NLS) and exploitation of endogenous trafficking pathways, are highlighted as key factors for improving genome-level editing efficiency. Despite these advances, major challenges-including limited intracellular delivery efficiency, insufficient targeting precision, and safety concerns-continue to hinder clinical translation. Future directions highlight artificial intelligence-driven nanoparticle design, personalized delivery systems, and next-generation CRISPR platforms. Overall, an integrated, barrier-oriented engineering strategy is essential for advancing CRISPR/Cas9 delivery toward clinical applications, ultimately advancing global good health and well-being.
