12) — Columbia researchers have uncovered an array of new genes that cause stillbirth, significantly increasing the understanding of the condition’s genetic foundations. The findings suggest that genetic analysis could be used to counsel parents who have previously experienced stillbirth and to unlock new human biology.

Comparing four separate forms of the disease, they found that samples of the most aggressive form, known as metastases-like primary tumours, saw changes in activity of 74 immune-related genes, compared with changes in only 12 in the more benign insulinoma-like tumours.

Genetic analysis of tumours can reveal mutations that are fuelling cancers growth, some of which can be targeted with treatment, they note. They then used the AI to predict sensitivity to drug combinations, using 21 different two-drug combinations in lung cancer cells with different gene faults, such as mutations in EGFR and KRAS.

Beam Therapeutics has taken over a startup whose technology could proffer the biotech’s genetic medicines to more tissues in the body, widening the potential to approach more diseases. Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Beam aims to make more precise edits with genetic medicines, which employ base-editing.
