Researchers from Google and Yale University have introduced C2S-Scale 27B, an advanced AI model based on the Gemma architecture, which has uncovered an entirely new cancer treatment mechanism — and it’s been confirmed in living cells.
The C2S model “reads” cellular data like language, analyzing how individual cells behave and respond to various treatments. When scientists asked it to identify substances that could make tumors more visible to the immune system, the AI pinpointed silmitasertib, a drug that had never before been associated with this effect.
Laboratory tests confirmed the discovery — the combination of drugs proposed by the AI increased tumor cell visibility by about 50%, making them more vulnerable to immune cell attacks.
This result marks a major breakthrough in biomedical research: AI systems are now not only analyzing existing data but also discovering entirely new therapeutic mechanisms. Google’s researchers further emphasized that the model’s growth appears to follow “scaling laws” similar to those observed in language models — potentially ushering in an era where artificial intelligence becomes a key driver of scientific discovery.
