This study systematically evaluated the hepatotoxic potential of common microplastic monomers using ADMETlab 3.0, identifying styrene (PubChem ID: 7501) as exhibiting significant hepatic toxicity. Comprehensive analysis of the CTD (Comparative Toxico... read more
INTRODUCTION: Sports-related knee injuries are common and debilitating, often leading to chronic pain, early osteoarthritis, and reduced performance. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a promising tool to improve their prevention, diagnosis,... read more
Accurate and rapid assessment of compost maturity is essential for ensuring the quality and safe utilization of compost products in organic waste recycling systems. However, compost maturity is inherently multi-dimensional, and models trained on sing... read more
Scalable, human-relevant approaches for detecting compound modes of action are needed to improve chemical safety evaluation. Here, we apply image-based profiling (Cell Painting) alongside two cytotoxicity assays in primary human hepatocytes exposed t... read more
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been associated with structural brain alterations, suggesting accelerated brain aging. Evidence from peripheral biological markers supports this hypothesis, although direct neuroimaging findings remain limited... read more
Dementia in Lewy body diseases (LBD) is common and arises through heterogeneous and incompletely understood pathways. Evidence suggests contributions from genetic factors, including APOE ε4 genotype, co-pathology including concomitant Alzheimer's dis... read more
