The Medicine Singularity Is Here!

Ten hopeful medical stories from this week, explained simply with no medical background needed. AI designed drugs, viruses and antibodies, a personal cancer vaccine, DNA editing inside a person, and more. Every result is labeled with its real stage (lab dish, one patient, or full trial), and company numbers are labeled self reported. Each story gets an importance score from 1 to 10.
