Our understanding of the cellular world is hazy and constantly in flux, as evidenced by how recent technologies have revealed thousands of distinct cell types, overturning earlier estimates of only a few hundred.
Speeding up cellular research could yield tremendous benefits for humanity, including new medicines and vaccines, cancer treatments, and a deeper understanding of fundamental biological processes.
Scientists are now exploring the potential of generative AI to 'decode the language of biology,' using techniques inspired by large language models to simulate human cells.
The goal is to create computer programs that can predict how drugs, mutations, or viruses will affect the body, making experiments more targeted and likely to succeed.
