Single-cell and bulk omics uncover fibroblast heterogeneity and HSPH1 as a key driver in Barrett's esophagus to esophageal adenocarcinoma progression.

Cancer cell international May 10, 2026

BACKGROUND: Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) is a highly aggressive malignancy with poor prognosis, often evolving from Barrett's esophagus (BE). Understanding the molecular mechanisms driving this progression is critical for identifying diagnostic bi... read more

Beyond binary AKI classification: development and external validation of a distributional model predicting serum creatinine and urine output trajectories in ICU patients.

Critical care (London, England) May 10, 2026

BACKGROUND: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent, severe complication in the intensive care units (ICU). Existing machine learning models are typically inflexible, classification-based (i.e., predicting AKI occurrence as yes/no), and of limited cl... read more

Unveiling the Microvasculature: The Index of Microcirculatory Resistance and Its Expanding Role in Cardiovascular Care.

Catheterization and cardiovascular interventions : official journal of the Society for Cardiac Angiography & Interventions May 10, 2026

Index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) is a cutting-edge, wire-based tool that advances the capability assessment of coronary microvascular function. By utilizing distal coronary pressure and mean transit time under maximal hyperemia, IMR deliver... read more

Genomic variation drives plant flavor diversification.

Journal of integrative plant biology May 10, 2026

Plant flavor diversity arises from genomic variation across species and cultivars, yet the mechanisms linking natural genomic variation to flavor-related phenotypes remain insufficiently integrated. Here, we systematically review how diverse forms of... read more

Mamba-Based Deep Learning Model for Automated Periapical Index Classification Using Periapical Radiographs and Clinical Metadata.

International endodontic journal May 10, 2026

AIM: Apical periodontitis (AP) diagnosis primarily relies on periapical radiographs (PRs) and the Periapical Index (PAI) scoring system. However, existing automated approaches often simplify PAI into binary categories or ignore essential clinical met... read more
