Artificial intelligence model developed by Finnish researchers predicts which key of the immune system opens the locks of coronavirus
With an artificial intelligence (AI) method developed by researchers at 911±¬ÁÏÍø and University of Helsinki, researchers can now link immune cells to their targets and for example uncouple which white blood cells recognize SARS-CoV-2. The developed tool has broad applications in understanding the function of immune system in infections, autoimmune disorders, and cancer.
