2024-09-26

(Press-News.org) Digital Science announces ReadCube Pro, an AI-powered expansion of ReadCube, offering researchers new tools to simplify and accelerate literature management and literature monitoring workflows.

The new AI Assistant and Literature Monitoring in ReadCube – an award-winning leader in literature management and full-text document delivery – transform the way research teams access, organize, review and monitor scholarly literature by providing them with enhanced search capabilities while helping to significantly reduce time spent on manual work. ReadCube leverages the power of the Dimensions database of 145+ million publications to quickly and easily find what’s important.

Announcing the new features today in his keynote address at AI in Drug Discovery Xchange in San Francisco, ReadCube Co-founder and CEO Robert McGrath said the new tools help researchers focus on higher value work. According to data from Dimensions, the volume of published literature has grown about 30% over the past five years, putting pressure on research organizations to remain competitive while also ensuring their research teams are reading all articles relevant to their areas of focus.

“Literature monitoring and literature review are critically important for life sciences organizations, yet in practice the work remains highly manual and involves multiple teams and tools,” McGrath said.

“ReadCube works the way researchers do, letting them ask questions of the literature in their own words and get to an answer quickly. But unlike many other AI tools, our solution provides transparency and flexibility, enabling users to configure how AI is applied to each stage of their workflow. These AI enhancements, along with a host of enhanced search and library features, are designed to radically streamline many common research workflows,” he said.

ReadCube’s new AI Assistant and Literature Monitoring offer users the ability to:

Integrate AI seamlessly with existing literature workflows Search all 145+ million publications in the Dimensions database, including full-text Transform natural language queries into hyper-specific searches through AI Assisted query builder Refine and narrow search results with smart AI filtering Receive highly relevant, AI-curated email notifications about new additions to ReadCube libraries. ReadCube’s new AI Assistant enables researchers to analyze and summarize scientific articles. Researchers can query collections of articles within their library, and access contextual answers to complex questions within documents. With an improved user interface and real-time collaboration capabilities, the AI Assistant simplifies research tasks, enabling teams to work more efficiently and stay ahead in today’s fast-paced, innovation-driven environment, all in a private and secure environment.

Dr Daniel Hook, CEO of Digital Science, said: “Today’s announcement is a further step in realizing the potential of AI for the benefit of scientific research. It is our hope that our solutions will enable researchers in all disciplines and geographies to be more effective. In particular, for those in the fields of life sciences and pharmaceutical medicine, we believe that our tools can help to speed up discoveries that make a difference to health treatments and outcomes around the globe.”

New mutation linked to early-onset Parkinsonism

2024-09-26

Leuven, 26 September 2024 – A team of scientists led by Prof. Patrik Verstreken (VIB-KU Leuven) has identified a new genetic mutation that may cause a form of early-onset Parkinsonism. The mutation, located in a gene called SGIP1, was discovered in an Arab family with a history of Parkinson's symptoms that began at a young age. The study reveals that this mutation affects how brain cells communicate, providing new insights into the disease's development and potential treatment strategies. A genetic clue to Parkinsonism Parkinsonism is a group of neurological disorders that share similar symptoms, including motor dysfunction ...

Bacteria involved in gum disease linked to increased risk of head and neck cancer

2024-09-26

More than a dozen bacterial species among the hundreds that live in people’s mouths have been linked to a collective 50% increased chance of developing head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), a new study shows. Some of these microbes had previously been shown to contribute to periodontal disease, serious gum infections that can eat away at the jawbone and the soft tissues that surround teeth. Experts have long observed that those with poor oral health are statistically more vulnerable than those with healthier ...

These fish use legs to taste the seafloor

2024-09-26

Sea robins are unusual animals with the body of a fish, wings of a bird, and walking legs of a crab. Now, researchers show that the legs of the sea robin aren’t just used for walking. In fact, they are bona fide sensory organs used to find buried prey while digging. This work appears in two studies published in the Cell Press journal Current Biology on September 26. “This is a fish that grew legs using the same genes that contribute to the development of our limbs and then repurposed these legs to find ...

This fish has legs

2024-09-26

Sea robins are ocean fish particularly suited to their bottom-dwelling lifestyle: Six leg-like appendages make them so adept at scurrying, digging, and finding prey that other fish tend to hang out with them and pilfer their spoils. A chance encounter in 2019 with these strange, legged fish at Cape Cod’s Marine Biological Laboratory was enough to inspire Corey Allard to want to study them. “We saw they had some sea robins in a tank, and they showed them to us, because they know we like weird animals,” said Allard, a ...

Climate change: Heat, drought, and fire risk increasing in South America

2024-09-26

The number of days per year that are simultaneously extremely hot, dry, and have a high fire risk have as much as tripled since 1970 in some parts of South America. The results are published in a study in Communications Earth & Environment. South America is warming at a similar rate to the global average. However, some regions of the subcontinent are more at risk of the co-occurrence of multiple climate extremes. These compound extremes can have amplified impacts on ecosystems, economy, and human health. Raúl Cordero and colleagues calculated the number of days per year that each approximately 30 by 30 km grid ...

Rates of sudden unexpected infant death before and during the pandemic

2024-09-26

About The Study: This cross-sectional study found increased rates of both sudden unexpected infant death (SUID) and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a significant shift in epidemiology from the pre-pandemic period noted in June to December 2021. These findings support the hypothesis that off-season resurgences in endemic infectious pathogens may be associated with SUID rates, with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) rates in the U.S. closely approximating this shift. Further investigation into the role ...

Scientists discover gene responsible for rare, inherited eye disease

2024-09-26

Scientists at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and their colleagues have identified a gene responsible for some inherited retinal diseases (IRDs), which are a group of disorders that damage the eye’s light-sensing retina and threatens vision. Though IRDs affect more than 2 million people worldwide, each individual disease is rare, complicating efforts to identify enough people to study and conduct clinical trials to develop treatment. The study’s findings published today in JAMA Ophthalmology. In a small study of six unrelated participants, researchers linked the gene UBAP1L to different forms of ...

Scientists discover "pause button" in human development

2024-09-26

In some mammals, the timing of the normally continuous embryonic development can be altered to improve the chances of survival for both the embryo and the mother. This mechanism to temporarily slow development, called embryonic diapause, often happens at the blastocyst stage, just before the embryo implants in the uterus. During diapause, the embryo remains free-floating and pregnancy is extended. This dormant state can be maintained for weeks or months before development is resumed, when conditions are favorable. Although not all mammals use this reproductive ...

Replica symmetry breaking in 1D Rayleigh scattering system: Theory and validations

2024-09-26

In both the natural world and human society, there commonly exist complex systems such as climate systems, ecological systems, and network systems. Due to the involvement of numerous interacting elements, complex systems can stay in multiple different states, and their overall behavior generally exhibits randomness and high disorder. For example, due to the complex interactions between factors such as solar radiation, terrain, and ocean currents, the climate system can exhibit various states like sunny, cloudy, and rainy. The dynamic changes and mutual influences of these factors make the behavior of the climate highly uncertain and difficult to predict accurately. For instance, the formation ...
