OmicSync: Reliability-Aware Spatial Multi-Omics Clustering with Evidence-Constrained LLM Reasoning

Spatial multi-omics technologies jointly profile gene expression, surface proteins, and histology at each tissue spot, yet most spatial domain discovery methods provide only cluster assignments, without indicating assignment reliability, modality contributions, or why a domain decision should be trusted. We present OmicSync, a reliability-aware spatial multi-omics framework that couples unsupervis...

Phthalate exposure and obesity in US adults: a small but robust association, and three leakage mechanisms that inflate it

Background. Phthalates are hypothesised to act as metabolic disruptors, and machine learning applied to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) has become a common approach to testing such associations. Because urinary phthalate metabolites are measured only in a one-third laboratory subsample, these analyses face a large deliberate gap in exposure data, a structure that invi...

SPARK-SAM: Self-Prompt Adaptation with Response Knowledge for SAM in Infrared Small Target Segmentation

Promptable segmentation models provide a reusable interface, but direct transfer to automatic infrared small-target segmentation (IRSTD) exposes a mis...
