Advanced Imaging and AI Reveal Smoking-Related Toxins in Placenta Samples
A team of scientists from Rice University and Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) has developed a faster and more accurate method for detecting harmful chemicals from tobacco smoke in placenta samples. The new approach combines light-based imaging techniques and machine learning (ML) to identify toxic compounds called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and their derivatives (PACs). […]
