    Microsoft and Adaptive Biotechnologies Activate AI Engine for Breakthrough Diagnostic Blood Test

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    Microsoft and Adaptive Biotechnologies are attempting to use data to map the immune system’s response to perceived threats, and to create a revolutionary diagnostic blood test. Their new AI engine is central to their efforts.

    Celiac.com 02/13/2019 - Microsoft and Adaptive Biotechnologies have announced a major milestone in their efforts to develop a blood test capable of diagnosing numerous diseases with a single blood sample. 

    The companies are attempting to use data to map the immune system’s response to perceived threats. By cataloging the body’s immune responses to certain threats, and how those responses are reflected in the blood, they hope to create a single test to diagnose numerous diseases, including type 1 diabetes, celiac disease, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer and Lyme disease.

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    To do this, they need huge amounts of data, and massive computing power for data sorting. The team’s artificial intelligence programs are central to their data crunching efforts. The team announced recently that the AI systems central to their task are now operational. Using that AI power, Adaptive and Microsoft are hoping to sequence immune data from 25,000 people with the five diseases by recruiting voluntary collaborators worldwide. 

    Through the collaboration, they hope to collect information on how the T cells and white blood cells, central to the human immune response, bind to antigens. Once they’ve done that, the team hopes to develop methods for accurately diagnosing people with a given disease, or who have higher genetic risk for that disease.

     “Our AI systems are now ready. So please join us in decoding what ‘story’ the immune system is telling us,” wrote Peter Lee, Microsoft Corporate VP of AI and Research, on Twitter.

    Adaptive is working with the University of Florida, the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, and the University of Colorado and Virginia Mason, to profile thousands of people with type 1 diabetes, celiac disease, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer and Lyme disease, or with higher genetic risk factors for those diseases.

    Celiac.com 01/26/2015 - Celiac disease occurs along a spectrum, which includes cases where patients have only minor histological abnormalities, or, what is called "potential celiac disease."
    Can a scientific equation based on immunohistochemical analysis of duodenal biopsies help to better diagnose celiac disease and cases of potential celiac disease? A team of researchers recently set out to assess the potential of immunohistochemical analysis of duodenal biopsies to aid in the diagnosis of gluten-related minor enteropathy.
    The research team included A. Tosco, M. Maglio, F. Paparo, L. Greco, R. Troncone, and R. Auricchio. They are affiliated with the Department of Translational Medical Science, Section of Pediatrics, and the European Laboratory for the Investigation of Food Induced ...

    Celiac.com 04/28/2016 - The development of celiac disease has been tied to polymorphisms in the regulator of G-protein signaling 1 (RGS1) and interleukin-12 A (IL12A) genes, but existing data are unclear and contradictory.
    A research team recently set out to examine the associations of two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs2816316 in RGS1 and rs17810546 in IL12A) with celiac disease risk using meta-analysis.
    The research team included Cong-Cong Guo, Man Wang, Feng-Di Cao, Wei-Huang Huang, Di Xiao, Xing-Guang Ye, Mei-Ling Ou, Na Zhang, Bao-Huan Zhang, Yang Liu, Guang Yang, and Chun-Xia Jing.

    They are variously affiliate with the Department of Epidemiology, School of Medicine, Jinan University, Guangzhou, the Department of Stomatology of the First Affiliated Hospital...

    Celiac.com 10/02/2017 - For anyone following the efforts by ImmusanT to develop a vaccine for celiac disease, the company's recent presentations at the 2017 International Celiac Disease Symposium (ICDS) in New Delhi, India, were welcome news.
    Nexvax2® is a therapeutic vaccine intended to protect against the effects of gluten exposure while maintaining a gluten-free diet in HLA-DQ2.5+ patients with celiac disease.
    The company announced at ICDS 2017 that it has presented data showing the immunologic basis for the early clinical effects of gluten in celiac disease.
    Presented in two poster presentations and an oral presentation, the company says its data show that "early cytokine changes in blood following gluten ingestion could provide the basis for a new diagnostic for celiac ...

    Celiac.com 09/14/2018 - Celiac.com was all set to do a story on the latest peer-reviewed data on the Nima gluten testing device, when along comes Gluten-Free Watchdog with another of their famous non-recommendations. Gluten-Free Watchdog says they cannot recommend the Nima gluten test kit because of alleged flaws.
    But what does the science say? The latest Nima article and Gluten-Free Watchdog’s complaint both focus on the science, so let’s start there.
    Nima makes two different food sensors: one detects gluten, the other detects peanuts. Each sensor comprises a small, handheld electronic device and a cartridge. To test food, consumers place a pea sized amount into the cartridge, place the cartridge inside the sensor, and run the device.  They then receive a smiley face or w...
