Optimization of biosafety laboratory management via an AI-driven intelligent system

2025-08-26
(Press-News.org)

ChatGPT and other generative AI models have achieved notable progress in natural language processing and generation, showing great potential in the medical field, such as automatically generating medical exam questions and answers, acting as personalized learning assistants, supporting course design, and aiding in medical imaging analysis. These models are also expected to be pivotal in training biosafety laboratory researchers by providing interactive learning experiences.

In this study, a dataset of 62 text-based and 8 image-based biosafety questions was collected from leading medical schools, HKU, and the US CDC. For text-based questions, Gemini Pro, Claude-3, Claude-2, GPT-4, and GPT-3.5 were evaluated, while Gemini Pro Vision and GPT-4V were used for image-based questions. Each model generated three responses per question, and metrics such as Reference Answer Accuracy Rate (RAAR), Subjective Answer Accuracy Rate (SAAR), and Strict Accuracy Rate (SAR) were used to analyze performance.

Results showed excellent performance for all models on text-based questions: Gemini Pro reached a RAAR of 79.4%, Claude-3 78.7%, Claude-2 76.5%, GPT-4 75.7%, and GPT-3.5 70.3%. For image-based questions, GPT-4V outperformed Gemini Pro, with RAARs of 78.7% and 76.5% respectively. Multimodal AI models like ChatGPT-4 and Gemini enabled real-time laboratory monitoring, anomaly detection, predictive maintenance, and improved biosafety training and education through automatic generation of customized materials.

However, generative AI faces limitations such as bias, errors, incomplete results, lack of high-quality training data for rare events, inadequate real-time processing, and ethical concerns like privacy and transparency. Addressing these challenges requires uncertainty markers, automated bias detection, human-AI collaborative verification, standardized and simulated datasets, federated learning, explainable AI, and robust accountability mechanisms.

Mouse neurons that identify friends in need and friends indeed

2025-08-26
A special set of neurons directs mice’s attention to or away from their peers, depending on the situation. The Kobe University discovery has implications for finding causes for neuropsychiatric conditions such as autism spectrum disorder or schizophrenia. Social interactions abound with decisions: How much time do we spend with a friend? Do we prioritize time with a friend who looks distressed? Like for all behavior, there are specialized clusters of neurons in the brain that are responsible for fine-tuning such complex behavior, and it is known that developmental defects in these areas are related ...

Why the foam on Belgian beers lasts so long

2025-08-26
Summertime is beer time – even if the consumption of alcoholic beers is declining in Switzerland. And for beer lovers, there is nothing better than a head of foam topping the golden, sparkling barley juice. But with many beers, the dream is quickly shattered, and the foam collapses before you can take your first sip. There are also types of beer, however, where the head lasts a long time. ETH researchers led by Jan Vermant, Professor of Soft Materials, have now discovered just why this is the case. Their study has just been published in the journal Physics of Fluids. The ...

On tap: What makes beer foams so stable?

2025-08-26
WASHINGTON, August 26, 2025 – Beer is one of the world’s most popular drinks, and one of the clearest signs of a good brew is a big head of foam at the top of a poured glass. Even brewers will use the quality of foam as an indicator of a beer having completed the fermentation process. However, despite its importance, what makes a large, stable foam is not entirely understood. In Physics of Fluids, from AIP Publishing, researchers from ETH Zurich and Eindhoven University of Technology investigated the stability of beer foams, examining multiple types of beer at different stages of the fermentation process. Like ...

Overweight older adults face lower risk of death after major surgery

2025-08-26
Older adults who are overweight may face a lower risk of death in the first 30 days following major elective surgery compared with those who have a normal body mass index (BMI), new research suggests. The study, to be published August 26 in the peer-reviewed JAMA Network Open, examined outcomes in older surgical patients and found that being overweight (BMI 25–29.9) was associated with the lowest short-term mortality rates. In contrast, normal and underweight patients had significantly higher risk ...

Body composition, fitness, and mental health in preadolescent children

2025-08-26
About The Study: In this cross-sectional study of preadolescent children, greater lean mass and higher fitness were associated with fewer anxiety and depression symptoms, while higher visceral adipose tissue was associated with increased symptoms of both. Body fat percentage was only associated with greater anxiety. These findings highlight the roles of body composition in mental health and underscore the value of early identification of physical health markers to support children’s well-being and development. Corresponding author: To contact the corresponding author, Lauren B. Raine, M.P.H., Ph.D., email l.raine@northeastern.edu. To ...

Medical school admissions after the Supreme Court’s 2023 Affirmative Action ruling

2025-08-26
About The Study: In this study, underrepresented in medicine (URiM) student matriculation into U.S. medical schools declined after the 2023 Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) ruling, with an emergent disparity in acceptance rates of URiM applicants relative to Asian and white students. The decline in URiM student matriculation was concentrated in states without a preexisting state-level affirmative action ban, suggesting that there may be an association between the SCOTUS ruling and demographic ...

Scientists map dendritic cell reactions to vaccines

2025-08-26
Ghent, 26 August 2025 – Belgian scientists have uncovered new details about how the immune system responds to vaccines. Dendritic cells, which are key immune messengers that help kick-start the body’s defenses, show specific responses to lipid nanoparticles. These findings, published in Cell Reports, could lead to safer and more effective vaccines.  Dendritic cells and lipid nanoparticles  Dendritic cells are among the first to detect viruses, bacteria, or other immune challenges. These cells help coordinate the immune system’s response by alerting T cells, the immune system’s soldiers trained to eliminate threats. But dendritic cells ...

"Fatigue" strengthen steels

2025-08-26
A NIMS research team has discovered a unique phenomenon that the fatigue limit of steel is improved by prior cyclic deformation (fatigue) training. Based on this finding, the research team developed a novel “pre-fatigue training” technique, which successfully doubled the fatigue limit of high-strength steel by suppressing crack initiation. This strategy offers a versatile approach to improving fatigue limit in general steels, providing an effective alternative to tempering heat treatment that inevitably sacrifices tensile strength. ...

Bacterial memory could be the missing key to beating life threatening pathogens

2025-08-26
Bacteria aren’t just mindless microbes. New research from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem reveals that single bacterial cells can carry a “memory” of their past environments—passing it down through generations—before eventually forgetting. Using a new technique called Microcolony-seq, scientists uncovered hidden subpopulations inside infections, each with different survival strategies. The finding could explain why antibiotics and vaccines sometimes fail—and may point the way toward more precise treatments. [Hebrew University of Jerusalem]– ...

Global analysis reveals overlooked hotspots at risk for long COVID due to early disability burdens

2025-08-26
An international team of researchers has conducted the most comprehensive global-to-local analysis to date on long COVID risk, using disability data from the height of the pandemic to identify vulnerable populations. Drawing on the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 framework, the study examined years lived with disability (YLDs) caused by COVID-19 across 920 locations during 2020 and 2021. The results reveal that YLDs may serve as an early indicator of long COVID risk—particularly in areas where post-COVID conditions remain underreported. “Disability-related data may serve as an early warning ...
