A recent article by Prof. Dr. Martin Haimerl and Prof. Dr. Christoph Reich of Furtwangen University shows that machine learning (ML) in medicine is often evaluated without a comprehensive risk assessment. The authors investigated the extent to which current scientific papers include risk-based metrics in the evaluation of AI models for medical devices.

Two molecular control factors play a decisive role in what is known as splicing, the cutting and assembly of mature messenger RNA – a prerequisite for protein synthesis in the cell. The poorly characterized factors are crucial to ensuring that the molecular machine responsible for splicing is working correctly. A research team has deciphered how the two cellular quality inspectors work.
