Tursa supercomputer led to the creation of the protein language model called PLM-Interact. O riginally published by  Mrigakshi Dixit  on  Oct 27, 2025  Representational image of protein interaction.  Getty Images    A supercomputer has helped to create an artificial intelligence model that deciphers the “language of proteins.” Scientists at the University of Glasgow used the Tursa supercomputer at the UK’s DiRAC High Performance Supercomputer facility . This advanced machine is typically reserved for cosmic research , but it was used for medical purposes in this study. Tursa led to the creation of the protein language model called PLM-Interact .  Interestingly, the model predicts protein interactions and even forecasts which mutations will disrupt the communication between these vital molecules .

     Originally published by Deborah Acheampong, Simon Fraser University, on December 11, 2023 MCS-DETECT captures MERC changes induced by RRBP1 knockdown. In 2014, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry celebrated the breakthroughs in super-resolution microscopy , a technology that allows us to capture highly detailed images of small parts of cells using fluorescent microscopy. Despite its success, the resolution of super-resolution microscopy still can't show tiny distances between organelles in cells.organelles This gap is where Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Biomedical Computer Vision intersect , as researchers from SFU Computing Science and UBC School of Biomedical Engineering and Life Sciences Institute reveal how AI enhances super-resolution microscopy capabilities and contributes to cellular biology advancements. Their mission is clear: to overcome the limitations of hardware (super-resolution microscopy) through innovative algorithms (AI) . Their lates...
