AI points researchers toward new disease targets hidden in mitochondria

THE AI ANGLE
Predicting human mitochondrial protein interactions

Researchers used an artificial intelligence tool to screen over 630,000 pairings among human mitochondrial proteins. The model predicted 2,895 interactions and identified likely partners for 85 uncharacterized proteins. These public findings give scientists a map to guide laboratory experiments on disease pathways.

THE TEACHING ANGLE
Traditional laboratories can use computational screens to prioritize targets, but verifying those predictions still demands years of cell testing.
