Penn Researchers Use Deep Learning to Design Multimodal Antibiotics for Combating Intracellular Infections
The rise of antimicrobial resistance has made treating intracellular infections a significant challenge, as conventional antibiotics often fail to neutralize pathogens hidden within human cells. To address this, researchers from the University of Pennsylvania introduced APEXDUO, an advanced AI model designed to generate peptides with both cell-penetrating and antimicrobial properties. From a vast library of…
