China Develops AI Tool to Predict Recurrence of Critical Cancer
Beijing - Saba:
A Chinese research team has developed an AI tool capable of predicting the risk of liver cancer recurrence with an accuracy of 82.2 percent.
Liver cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, with a recurrence rate after surgery of up to 70 percent. Accurately predicting recurrence has been a critical challenge.
The Xinhua News Agency reported on Monday that researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China, led by Sugen Chen, have developed a scoring system called "Times," which measures the spatial distribution patterns of immune cells within the tumor microenvironment to assess the likelihood of relapse.
This system is the world's first tool for predicting liver cancer recurrence that integrates spatial immune data, according to the article.
The study, published in the journal Nature, showed that the spatial organization of immune cells, not just their quantity, determines clinical outcomes.
By combining spatial transcriptomics, proteomics, multispectral immunohistochemistry, and artificial intelligence-based spatial analysis, the team developed a new method for assessing the tumor microenvironment.
The system was trained using liver cancer tissue samples from 61 patients.
The researchers have made the TIMES system available online for free, allowing users worldwide to upload histological images for immediate risk assessment.
Sun explained that the team aims to provide a revolutionary decision-making tool to help physicians optimize individualized treatments, especially in resource-limited settings. He added that they are currently collaborating with industry partners to standardize clinical applications.

China Launches New Satellite into Space
Beijing - (Saba): China successfully launched a Long March-4B carrier rocket on Thursday, placing a new Shijian-26 satellite into space. According to the Chinese news agency Xinhua, the carrier rocket was launched at 12:12 p.m. (Beijing time) from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China. The satellite is primarily used for national land surveying, environmental management, and other fields, providing information services to support national economic development. This is the 579th mission for the Long March carrier rocket series. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print

Warnings of Destructive Asteroids Threatening Earth
Paris - (Saba): A new astronomical study has warned of invisible space threats that could strike Earth and destroy entire cities. Dangerous asteroids are hiding behind the glare of the sun near Venus. The British newspaper "Daily Mail" reported that an international team of scientists from universities in Brazil, France, and Italy has discovered the presence of at least three asteroids: "CL1 2020," "524522," and "2020 CB." They are close to Earth and dangerous enough to cause widespread destruction. These asteroids move in orbits synchronous with Venus, making them difficult to observe due to their proximity to the sun. Each of these asteroids is estimated to be between 100 and 400 meters in diameter, a size sufficient to cause massive explosions equivalent to a million times the power of the nuclear bomb dropped on Hiroshima if one of them were to impact Earth. This could cause large craters, fires, and catastrophic tsunamis. Although these asteroids' orbit with Venus prevents them from colliding with it, it does not protect Earth from their danger. Their unstable orbits also make them vulnerable to any gravitational shift that could direct them toward our planet. Scientists have indicated that the Rubin Observatory in Chile may be able to detect these dangerous asteroids, but the observation window will be extremely short, ranging from only two to four weeks per year, due to the asteroids' proximity to the Sun's glare. For this reason, the research team recommends launching a space probe toward Venus as the only way to detect these "hidden asteroids" and accurately map their locations. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print

China launches new Satellite to test communication technologies
Beijing - Saba: China launched a new communications technology testing satellite into space on Tuesday from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan Province, southwest China. According to the Chinese news agency Xinhua, the launch center announced that the satellite was successfully placed into its planned orbit. It was carried by a Long March-3C rocket, which lifted off at 2:09 a.m. (Beijing Time). The satellite will primarily be used to conduct verification tests for multi-band, high-speed communication technologies. This mission marks the 575th flight of the Long March carrier rocket series.
