![CARTA: Evolutionary Switches - How Regulatory Variants Shaped Human Evolution with David Gokhman
David Gokhman of the Weizmann Institute of Science explores how changes in gene regulation shaped recent human evolution. His team used massively parallel reporter assays in skeletal and neural cells to test 71,443 genetic variants that distinguish Neanderthals and Denisovans from modern humans, building a catalog that reveals hundreds of noncoding variants that alter gene expression. The work uncovers evolutionary trends and examples of convergent evolution, including an enhancer of KDM8, a gene involved in tumor progression, that was completely silenced in both archaic and modern human lineages through different mechanisms: motif disruption in Neanderthals and Denisovans, and hypermethylation in modern humans. Gokhman also introduces a way to reconstruct anatomical profiles from DNA sequence and methylation, using it to model Denisovan anatomy and scan the fossil record. The results suggest that the Harbin and Dali fossils were likely Denisovans, while Kabwe may have been related to the ancestor of Neanderthals and Denisovans, helping to clarify the regulatory changes underlying human evolution.

![Where Are We Now? Bias in Health AI
Bias in health AI can shape who gets care, how fairly risk is measured, and whether automation helps or harms patients. Karandeep Singh, M.D., M.M.S.C. explains that predictive AI can reflect historical, representation, measurement, learning, evaluation, and deployment bias, especially when models are trained on limited populations or use flawed proxies for illness and access to care. Singh also describes generative AI as a system trained first to predict text and then to follow instructions, with bias entering through training data, instruction tuning, prompts, and outside information sources. Alongside these risks, he highlights practical uses such as AI-assisted sepsis quality review and patient outreach workflows, while emphasizing governance, human oversight, disclosure, and careful measurement of whether these tools actually improve care.

![AI Imaging Reveals Hidden Differences Between Cells
A version of this video with audio description track is available here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1Ftb5M6tPw
AI-powered cell imaging may help researchers identify biological differences that are difficult or impossible to see by eye. Yu-Hwa Lo, Ph.D., and Louise Laurent, M.D., Ph.D., describe a system that combines high-speed imaging, cell sorting, microfluidics, and artificial intelligence. The technology creates label-free images of cells, uses AI to classify them, and can isolate selected cells for deeper molecular analysis.
Laurent explains how the team is applying the system to human trophoblast stem cells, which give rise to specialized placental cells involved in nutrient transport, hormone production, blood vessel remodeling, and immune regulation. Lo describes how AI can distinguish cell populations and identify features that may not be apparent to human observers.
The researchers ultimately hope to connect imaging features with gene expression, proteins, and metabolism, allowing cell characteristics and behavior to be predicted from images alone. Recorded on 05/27/2026. [9/2026] [Show ID: 41637]

FAQ
Q: How can AI identify different types of cells?
A: The system collects multiple images of individual cells and converts those images into features that an AI model can analyze. The researchers show that AI can classify known cell types and detect differences that may not be visible to a person looking at the images.
Q: What is label-free cell imaging?
A: Label-free imaging examines cells without relying on fluorescent biomarkers to identify them. The system described here uses transmission, forward-scattering, and backscattering images to capture different physical properties of each cell and uses those images for classification.
Q: How is this technology being used to study the placenta?
A: The researchers are applying the system to human trophoblast stem cells and cells derived from them. Their goal is to identify subgroups within these cell populations, isolate them, and analyze their RNA to better understand biological differences among cells.
