Researchers at Princeton University have harnessed AI to understand how drugs affect the dynamics of vital structures within the cell, introducing a tool that can map the shape of these structures to functional outcomes and shed light on important markers of health.

To do this, a team led by @brangwynnelab examined the shape changes of biomolecular condensates, tiny droplets in living cells that drive transcription and other gene regulation processes and have been linked to diseases including Alzheimer’s, ALS and cancer.
