🚀 AI Saves a Life: A Groundbreaking Case in Rare Disease Treatment 🚀

After analyzing over 4,000 existing drugs, an AI tool identified adalimumab as a potential treatment for a patient with idiopathic multicentric Castleman’s disease (iMCD)—a life-threatening condition with limited options.

	•	Patient in hospice care → now in remission for 2 years thanks to an AI-guided discovery.

	•	AI + Lab Validation: The AI identified TNF as a key target, confirmed through biological experiments.

	•	Drug Repurposing at its best: Adalimumab, originally for arthritis, saved a life in an entirely new context.

	•	Future Potential: This approach could revolutionize rare disease treatments worldwide.

This is not just about one patient—it’s about how AI can accelerate life-saving discoveries where traditional methods fall short.
