Deep-Learning Holography Detects Elusive Circulating Tumor Cells in Prostate Cancer

Researchers combined microfluidic enrichment, AI-assisted holography, and fluorescence profiling to identify circulating tumor cell candidates in 13 men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and 8 healthy donors. The platform found higher median candidate counts in patients, while nearly two-thirds of PSMA-positive candidates lacked EpCAM, suggesting EpCAM-dependent assays could miss some cells.

AI-Assisted Paper Test Measures Three Cardiac Biomarkers in 23 Minutes

Researchers developed an AI-assisted dual-mode paper assay that measures cTnI, CK-MB, and NT-proBNP from 50 µL of serum in 23 minutes. In single-site analytical validation, neural networks quantified the three biomarkers across distinct concentration ranges, supporting further development for multiplexed cardiac testing at the point of care.
