The next breakthrough in treating diseases like ’s, ’s and could work inside the cells themselves. Scientists at the University of Essex, working with an international team, have used AI to design microscopic antibody fragments that can be produced right where they’re needed. Called intrabodies, they are engineered to stay stable inside cells and target proteins linked to neurodegenerative diseases.
It’s a potentially game changing approach, turning AI-designed molecules into precision tools for tackling some of the biggest challenges in medicine.
