⚡️🔬📣 Excited to share our new @Nature article building and evaluating PathChat, a multimodal generative AI copilot and chatbot for human pathology. Article: https://t.co/OAIG31ofWJ Open Access Link:
https://t.co/tvw6W6qmT9

We leverage our previous success in building foundation models for computational pathology such as UNI / CONCH and combine it with the advancements of large vision language models and generative AI to enable PathChat to answer diverse pathology-related queries. We assessed PathChat using both multiple choice diagnostic questions and open-ended questions.

Congratulations to @MYLu97 @chenbowen118 @DFKW_MD @richardjchen and everyone else who contributed to this work.
Also see blog post from @MYLu97 about this work: https://t.co/exjpKMnrQp , also teasing the development and preview of PathChat 2, a successor to PathChat 1 bringing new capabilities and substantially improved performance to the state-of-the-art.

Molecular circadian clocks in the brain and muscle tissue cooperate to keep muscles healthy and functioning daily, according to a new Science study in mice.

The findings could provide potential strategies to protect muscle function in aging individuals. https://t.co/5HunrkMToD
