Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Biologists have been building mathematical models of cellular processes for decades. There is now more data about the human cell than ever before, but figuring out equations for every process and putting them all together is a monumental task. Researchers are now exploring ways to use AI to create virtual cells. Virtual cells could make it faster and easier to discover new drugs and also give insight into how to treat diseases.
