Key insights Machine learning tools that speed up the early, computational stage of drug development need to be trained on chemistry and biology data that are more diverse. Protein-folding predictions from AI tools would be more relevant to drug developers if these tools had access to more data on drug-protein interactions. Public institutions and pharmaceutical companies are banding together to find solutions to the data gap by either generating new data or training AI on shared data archives.

Scientists have found a way to get treatment for a rare type of cancer into the back of the eye without damaging the nearby structures: by using a molecule derived from pig semen. The approach, which was tested in mice, targets a cancer called retinoblastoma and takes advantage of sperm's ability to penetrate barriers.
