Startups Are Using AI to Predict Responses to Cancer Drugs

Dec. 28, 2023 12:01 pm ET|WSJ ProBiomedical startups are using artificial intelligence to predict the response patients will have to cancer treatments, aiming to increase the success of drugs in clinical trials and tailor therapies to individuals.As data accumulate from clinical trials and fields such as gene and protein research, AI is helping scientists sift through large volumes of information to uncover signatures that correlate with response—or resistance—to treatment. Startups are using it to predict which drugs are likely to work in clinical studies and create tests to help doctors choose treatments.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

The Trump Revolution Among U.S. Evangelicals

Dec. 21, 2023 12:30 pm ETNo political issue over the last half-century has mobilized evangelical Christian voters more effectively than abortion. Yet going into next month’s Republican presidential caucuses in Iowa, where evangelicals are a strong presence, the candidates with the strongest anti-abortion stances are lagging in the polls.

Illinois Concedes on Pregnancy Centers

Illinois has been trying to use its fraud laws to target pro-life pregnancy help centers, and Gov. J.B. Pritzker declared this summer that he was “confident” the law was constitutional. If he still believes that, then Mr. Pritzker ought to explain why the state is backing down in federal court, unless he’s too embarrassed now by his role in this cautionary tale of Democratic overreach.In high political dudgeon after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the Illinois Legislature amended the state’s Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act to go after the speech of “limited services pregnancy centers,” taking clear aim at pro-life groups while exempting abortion providers. This week state Attorney General Kwame Raoul agreed to a permanent injunction to prevent the law from be...

What the Supreme Court’s Decision Means for Abortion Pills

Updated Dec. 13, 2023 6:22 pm ETThe Supreme Court said on Dec. 13 that it would weigh whether to limit access to mifepristone, a pill used in most abortions in the U.S.In April, the Biden administration and Danco Laboratories LLC, which sells the drug under the brand name Mifeprex, had appealed a ruling by the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that would have significantly affected the way mifepristone is used and dispensed for abortions. The Supreme Court blocked the lower court’s order while it decided whether or not to hear the case.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 87990cbe856818d5eddac44c7b1cdeb8

Texas Woman Who Sought Exception to Abortion Ban Decides to Leave State

A pregnant Texas woman locked in a real-time legal battle over aborting a fetus with a fatal abnormality has decided to leave the state for the procedure.The decision defuses a ticking clock in a case that appeared to be the first since the overturning of Roe v. Wade to test whether a pregnant litigant could use the courts to secure an abortion in a state that outlawed the procedure with only an exception for certain medical emergencies.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
