The IIS Aragón, IACS and ITA collaborate by applying artificial intelligence (AI) to the early diagnosis and prevention of neurodegenerative diseases, sarcopenia and colon and prostate cancer.
The activities of the “Science Week” in Zaragoza will run from 12 to 16 November 2024. In addition to various informative days and meetings between patients and researchers, several grants will be awarded for cancer research worth a total of 345.000 euros.
A blood test can detect this neurodegenerative disease with 98% accuracy and within 24 hours. The speed of this process will allow treatment to be started earlier, which will translate into better results for patients, say the researchers. It is expected to be available to neurologists within 18 to 24 months.
A new study by the IIS Aragón and the Aragón Engineering Research Institute, published by the Scientific Society of Biofabrication, recreates tumors in 3D models and analytical chemistry techniques to open new, less invasive diagnostic pathways that improve patient prognosis.
By applying a food additive dissolved in water, US scientists have succeeded in making the skin on the skull and abdomen of mice translucent in a safe and reversible way. This advance could revolutionise optical research in biology and help in medical diagnosis if it is applied to humans in the future.
The remains of a female individual that came to light at the El Pueyo de Marcuello site are kept in the Museum of Huesca. For more than a year, the IIS Aragón forensic medical team, composed of Dr. Salvador Baena, Dr. Ana Cisneros and Dr. Jesús Obón, have been in charge of analyzing these remains.
Jacobo Ayensa, Postdoctoral researcher of the TME Lab Group of the IIS Institute and the Engineering Research Institute of Aragón, talks about the use of Artificial Intelligence for the diagnosis of diseases in Heraldo de Aragón.
