Accelerating Bioactive Discovery for Human and Planetary Health Using Artificial Intelligence and Animal-Free Testing

 

This research article provides an overview of current approaches to bioactive discovery, and how AI is advancing this field. The global health crisis of metabolic and age-related diseases, affecting over a billion people have warranted new food-based approaches to proactively manage health. The integration of AI in high-throughput screening accelerates the discovery of bioactives, reducing costs and time. The use of Caenorhabditis elegans as an ethical, efficient model for preclinical studies is highlighted, with NemaLife's AI-powered platform enabling scalable, high-throughput bioactive screening. This approach is aligned with global sustainability goals and offers more effective natural solutions to improve human health. Read More

 

Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. paracasei 2004 improves health and lifespan in Caenorhabditis elegans

 

Recent research underscores the significance of the gut microbiome in aging, with probiotics promoting gut health. This study investigated the effects of several novel lactic acid bacteria on the health and lifespan of C. elegans. It was found that certain bacteria, specifically L. acidophilus 1244 and L. paracasei subsp. paracasei 2004, enhanced the health of the worms. Supplementation with these strains improved food consumption, motility, and resistance to oxidative stress. RNA-seq analysis revealed that L. paracasei subsp. paracasei 2004 increased the expression of daf-16, a gene related to stress response, and that the deletion of daf-16 negated the longevity benefits. These findings suggest that L. paracasei subsp. paracasei 2004 enhances health and lifespan in C. elegans through a DAF-16-dependent pathway. Read More
