BACKGROUND: Since brain tumors (BTs) require early detection for timely and effective treatment planning, this study presents two quantum deep learning (Q-DL) approaches: a quantum Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and a quantum Vision Transformer (... read more
Programmed cell death (PCD) and cellular immunity play pivotal roles in colorectal cancer (CRC) progression; understanding their crosstalk and identifying key genes could improve risk stratification and therapy. A univariate Cox analysis was performe... read more
Trained immunity is defined as the epigenetic and metabolic reprogramming of innate immune cells, conferring enhanced or diminished responsiveness to secondary challenges following initial stimulation. Immune tolerance represents the state of immunol... read more
OBJECTIVE: To benchmark the pathogenicity predictions of AlphaMissense, a deep learning model, against high-throughput functional scores from saturation genome editing (SGE) for all experimentally tested BRCA1-associated protein-1 (BAP1) missense var... read more
Electrochemical water treatment is essential for tackling global water scarcity but remains difficult to optimize due to limited expertise and computing resources at many treatment facilities. Here, we introduce an intelligent on-device platform that... read more

BACKGROUNDPrimary therapy for high-risk bladder cancer (BCa) is repeated instillations of the tuberculosis vaccine Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG). Although BCG reduces the risk of recurrence by more than half, the mechanisms underlying its immune-act... read more
Algorithms that support screening, triage, and treatment decisions depend on training data drawn from patient populations. Limited access to patient-level records across institutions and jurisdictions can reduce representation and contribute to uneve... read more
Radiotherapy (RT) remains a cornerstone of cancer management but is fundamentally constrained by normal tissue toxicity, intrinsic and acquired radioresistance, and hypoxia- and microenvironment-driven dose-response plateaus. Engineered nanomaterials... read more
