Google, Yale's AI can help treat stubborn 'cold' tumors

Technology Oct 22, 2025

Google and Yale have built a powerful AI, Cell2Sentence-Scale 27B, that "reads" the language of cells.
It's come up with a fresh approach: making stubborn "cold" tumors more responsive to immunotherapy by turning them "hot."

AI found existing drug combo could help

The AI scanned over 4,000 drugs and spotlighted silmitasertib (CX-4945) as a key helper.
When paired with low-dose interferon, this combo boosted antigen presentation by about 50% in lab tests—making cancer cells easier for the immune system to spot.

Google, Yale share model, tools for faster cancer treatment research

This is a big step for AI in science.
By sharing their model and tools openly on GitHub and Hugging Face, Google and Yale are inviting researchers everywhere to join in and speed up the search for better cancer treatments.
