The functional studies done at the bench confirmed the predictions from machine learning. By bringing bench research and AI together, they made a discovery that would not have been possible with either approach alone.🥼🤖

AI was a key adjunctive component to this work. By performing an over representation analysis of EV cargo using a multi-omic network (integrated using deep learning), a unique set of pathways emerged, enabling focus on endothelial angiogenesis. 🔍💡

They examined EV origin and communication, uncovering and identifying key endothelial networks that predominate in symptomatic plaques with functional effects that typify vulnerability to rupture (i.e., stroke).
