From Correlation to Clinical Translation: The Biological-Grounding×Translational-Readiness Framework for Artificial Intelligence in Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer

Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains the leading cause of cancer death worldwide, and clinicians now face a rapidly expanding array of artificial intelligence (AI) tools promising earlier detection, better treatment selection, and more precise radiotherapy, yet few have altered what happens at the bedside. The problem is not poor benchmark performance; it is that strong benchmark performance has repeatedly failed to translate into demonstrable patient benefit, because most published NSCLC models are retros…

NDIB-Sim: A Multimodal Bidirectional PINN Model for Simulating Brain Dynamics

Constructing dynamic virtual brain models is essential for understanding brain functions and pathological mechanisms, crucial in computational neuroscience. Current modeling methods can be grouped into two paradigms: deep learning models for accurate simulation, and neural dynamics models emphasizing physiological interpretability. However, these methods entail a fundamental tradeoff between accuracy and interpretability. To address this challenge, we introduce the neurodynamics-informed brain simulator (NDIB-Si…

AI‐Driven Personalized Nutrition: Integrating Omics, Ethics, and Digital Health

Personalized nutrition (PN) aims to prevent and manage chronic diseases by providing individualized dietary guidance based on genetic, metabolic, and lifestyle data. Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a key enabler in PN by analyzing large-scale, multiomics datasets in obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular, and gastrointestinal disorders, where digital twins and health knowledge graphs support personalized interventions. Current findings demonstrate that AI models can guide microbiome-based dietary intervention…

GIN-CRC-Pareto: A graph-based pareto-optimized multi-task learning framework to identify miRNA-target interactions in colorectal cancer

Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks as the third highest incidence among malignancies for human and the second most common cause of cancer-related mortality in the United States. Accumulating evidence has established microRNAs (miRNAs) as critical regulators of cancer development and therapeutic response. Understanding miRNA-mRNA interactions is critical for elucidating the molecular mechanisms driving CRC and other malignancies. However, accurately modeling miRNA-mRNA interactions and their binding pattern…

Dual-Approach AI for Pediatric Supracondylar Fractures: Multiclass Radiograph Classification with Explainable AI and Diagnostic Meta-analysis of AI-Based Computational Approaches

Rationale and objectives Pediatric supracondylar fractures (SCFs) are the most common elbow injury in children, yet radiographic diagnosis remains challenging due to complex developmental anatomy, with initially missed fracture rates of 17-77%. Prior artificial intelligence (AI) studies have been limited to binary classification frameworks without Gartland subtype differentiation, and no diagnostic test accuracy meta-analysis specific to supracondylar fractures exists. This study aimed to develop the first multi…

Ultrasound Habitat Radiomics for Preoperative Prediction of Invasive Breast Cancer With a DCIS Component: A Dual-center Retrospective Study

Purpose To develop and externally validate an ultrasound-based habitat subregional radiomics model for preoperative prediction of invasive breast cancer with concomitant ductal carcinoma in situ (IBC-DCIS). Methods A total of 1063 pathologically confirmed breast cancer patients from two centers were retrospectively enrolled and divided into a training cohort (n = 637) and an external validation cohort (n = 426). Tumor regions of interest were manually delineated on two-dimensional ultrasound images and further p…

The tire antioxidant derivative 6PPD-quinone exacerbates IBD by targeting NR1H4-mediated lipid metabolism and mitochondrial dysfunction in human colon epithelial cells

N- (1,3-Dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine quinone (6PPD-Q), a tire rubber antioxidant derivative, accumulates in air, soil, and water and has been found in urine, blood, and cerebrospinal fluid, posing significant health risks. Although 6PPD-Q exhibits intestinal toxicity, its role in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) remains unclear. The objective of this study was to identify key molecular targets of 6PPD-Q in IBD and to validate their involvement in 6PPD-Q-induced intestinal epithelial cell injury. U…
