<p>Artificial intelligence has exploded in popularity and is being harnessed by some scientists to predict which molecules could treat illnesses, or to quickly screen existing medicines for new applications.

The team showed that in mice, DHA effectively reversed osteoporosis-related bone loss.</p>
