Most-cited papers in Communications Medicine

The future landscape of large language models in medicine

Jan Clusmann, Fiona R. Kolbinger, Hannah Sophie Muti et al. · 10 Oct 2023

Large language models (LLMs) are artificial intelligence (AI) tools specifically trained to process and generate text. LLMs attracted substantial public attention after OpenAI's ChatGPT was made publicly available in November 2022. LLMs can often answer questions, summarize, paraphrase and translate text on a level that is nearly indistinguishable from human capabilities. The possibility to actively…

Artificial intelligence and machine learning in cancer imaging

Dow‐Mu Koh, Nickolas Papanikolaou, Ulrich Bick et al. · 27 Oct 2022

An increasing array of tools is being developed using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) for cancer imaging. The development of an optimal tool requires multidisciplinary engagement to ensure that the appropriate use case is met, as well as to undertake robust development and testing prior to its adoption into healthcare systems. This multidisciplinary…

Performance assessment and economic analysis of a human Liver-Chip for predictive toxicology

Lorna Ewart, Αθανασία Αποστόλου, Skyler A. Briggs et al. · 6 Dec 2022

BACKGROUND: Conventional preclinical models often miss drug toxicities, meaning the harm these drugs pose to humans is only realized in clinical trials or when they make it to market. This has caused the pharmaceutical industry to waste considerable time and resources developing drugs destined to fail. Organ-on-a-Chip technology has the potential improve success in drug…

Possibilities and limitations of antisense oligonucleotide therapies for the treatment of monogenic disorders

Marlen C. Lauffer, Willeke van Roon‐Mom, Annemieke Aartsma‐Rus et al. · 5 Jan 2024

Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) are incredibly versatile molecules that can be designed to specifically target and modify RNA transcripts to slow down or halt rare genetic disease progression. They offer the potential to target groups of patients or can be tailored for individual cases. Nonetheless, not all genetic variants and disorders are amenable to ASO-based treatments,…

Mitigating bias in machine learning for medicine

Kerstin Noëlle Vokinger, Stefan Feuerriegel, Aaron S. Kesselheim · 23 Aug 2021

Several sources of bias can affect the performance of machine learning systems used in medicine and potentially impact clinical care. Here, we discuss solutions to mitigate bias across the different development steps of machine learning-based systems for medical applications. Vokinger et al. discuss potential sources of bias in machine learning systems used in medicine. The…
