The research team noted that lung tissue gets stiffer as a person gets older, showing different patterns of gene expression than in younger people.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology announced this week that researchers had used machine learning to identify medications that may be repurposed to fight COVID-19.
“Making new drugs takes forever,” Caroline Uhler, a computational biologist in MIT’s Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and the Institute for Data, Systems and Society, said in a press statement. “Really, the only expedient option is to repurpose existing drugs.”
The research from Uhler’s team, which…
