Antioxidant vitamin index and risk of age-related macular degeneration: multicenter validation and clinical translation.

npj aging Feb 21, 2026

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of blindness in older adults, with oxidative stress as a central driver. We proposed the Antioxidant Vitamin Index (AVI), a composite indicator integrating vitamins A, C, and E to quantify sys... read more

Towards three-dimensional discrete fracture network modeling using integrated multidimensional outcrop data.

Scientific reports Feb 21, 2026

Analogue outcrops can be a source of fracture information beyond the resolution of seismic and well profiles, providing geometric, topological, and geomechanical characteristics of the discrete fracture network (DFN). Fracture characterization is a t... read more

The quantum method of planes-local pressure definitions for machine learning potentials.

The Journal of chemical physics Feb 21, 2026

Stress, or pressure, is a central quantity in engineering and remains vital in molecular modeling. However, the commonly used virial stress tensor is invalid for an inhomogeneous fluid, which is essential in fluid dynamics and non-equilibrium molecul... read more

A field-acquired RGB-Depth image dataset for computer vision-based baby broccoli detection and size estimation under varying illumination conditions.

Data in brief Feb 21, 2026

This data article describes a curated RGB-Depth image dataset captured using an Intel RealSense D435 stereo depth camera mounted on an autonomous mobile platform during field deployments at commercial baby broccoli farms in Victoria, Australia. The d... read more

Efficient self-supervised Barlow Twins from limited tissue slide cohorts for colonic pathology diagnostics.

Medical image analysis Feb 21, 2026

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the few cancers that have an established dysplasia-carcinoma sequence that benefits from screening. Everyone over 50 years of age in Canada is eligible for CRC screening. About 20% of those people will undergo a biop... read more

Machine learning framework for passage-based quality control of Hanwoo muscle satellite cells for cultured meat.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.) Feb 21, 2026

Myogenic satellite cells from Hanwoo (Korean native cattle) are valuable for cultured meat and livestock biotechnology, serving as a primary cellular substrate for the biomanufacturing of alternative protein, particularly cultured beef, and enabling ... read more

Multi-scale geographical origin discrimination of geographical indication rice based on multi-source data fusion combined with machine learning: A case of Panjin rice.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.) Feb 21, 2026

Growing fraud incidences have made it more difficult to authenticate the provenance of geographical indication (GI) rice. Taking Panjin rice (a GI product recognized by both China and the EU) as a case, this study developed a multi-scale traceability... read more

Beyond Boltzmann transport: Green-Kubo prediction of lattice thermal conductivity with machine-learned potentials.

The Journal of chemical physics Feb 21, 2026

We investigate the microscopic origin of the ultralow lattice thermal conductivity in Rb2ZnTe by combining anharmonic lattice dynamics based on first-principles density functional theory with the Boltzmann transport equation (BTE). Full cubic and qua... read more

Lactate metabolism-driven tumor heterogeneity and molecular signatures in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

World journal of gastroenterology Feb 21, 2026

BACKGROUND: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a highly aggressive liver malignancy with limited therapeutic options and poor prognosis. Recent evidence indicates that lactate metabolism (LM) plays a pivotal role in tumor metabolic reprogrammin... read more
