AI Breakthrough Predicts Drug Responses in Colorectal Cancer

10/18/2025

Summary

Story summary

Researchers from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) developed an AI system predicting cell responses to drugs and genetic changes.
The system uses a modular 'Lego block' method to analyze cell-drug interactions and test new combinations.
It identifies molecular targets that revert colorectal cancer cells toward normal-like states.
The study was published in Cell Systems and was supported by the National Research Foundation of Korea.
