Researchers at Johns Hopkins University developed an AI-driven blood test to detect early liver disease [3]. The technology analyzes cell-free DNA fragments to find signs of fibrosis and cirrhosis [1]. This method identifies chronic conditions years before patients show symptoms [2]. The test focuses on genome-wide fragmentation patterns in the blood [2]. Using artificial intelligence, the system recognizes specific signals associated with liver damage [3]. This liquid biopsy offers a non-invasive alternative to traditional diagnostic methods [1][3].
