Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used for lay health queries, yet may abandon correct recommendations under pressure, a vulnerability termed sycophancy. We evaluated sycophancy across five frontier LLMs (Claude Opus 4.6, Claude Sonnet 4.... read more
Importance. Large language models are increasingly explored as clinical decision support tools in orthodontics, yet existing evaluations have been confined to knowledge based question answering where reported accuracy ranges from 18% to 100%. No stud... read more
Purpose: Genetic risk scores (GRSs) are summaries of genetic data that can improve prediction of disease risk and progression. GRSs are increasing available but rely on high quality input data to produce good output results; with noisy or missing inp... read more
Background Delineating the cellular origins of extracellular vesicles (EVs) enables the detection of clinically relevant changes in dynamic and complex tissues, such as the endometrium, which are not characterizable through single biomarker assays. T... read more
Background: Aberrations in neuro-immune, metabolic, and oxidative stress (NIMETOX) pathways are implicated in major depressive disorder (MDD). First-episode simple dysmood disorder (FE-SDMD) without metabolic syndrome offers a unique model to investi... read more
Background: Heterogeneity in symptom presentation and treatment response in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) remains poorly understood. The gut microbiota may contribute to this variability, but its role in shaping symptom trajectories and responses to... read more
Leishmaniasis, a climate-sensitive zoonotic neglected tropical disease, is transmitted by Phlebotomine sand flies and closely linked to socio-economic inequities. Understanding its spatio-temporal dynamics under environmental and social change is cri... read more
Machine learning is accelerating biomedical research. Cross-validation is widely used to compare predictive performance -- not only to benchmark algorithms, but also to inform scientific applications, such as ranking biomarkers. However, prediction p... read more
Normative modeling quantifies individual deviation from population norms by estimating the conditional mean and variance of brain-derived measures as functions of clinically relevant parameters such as age. The rapid growth of multi-center consortia ... read more
Despite the fundamental role of spatial context in driving tumor progression, most current computational models for virtual perturbation have largely overlooked its importance. Here, we introduce TMEformer, a tumor microenvironment-aware deep learnin... read more
