The mutation accumulation (MA) hypothesis posits that somatic mutations progressively escape selection and degrade tissue function during aging. Direct tests of this idea have been limited by the difficulty of predicting, at scale, the molecular cons...
A major challenge in neuroscience is to predict how currents in nanodomains affect voltage and ionic concentrations. Cable and Rall theory provide analytic current-voltage relations by neglecting concentration gradients, and the impact of concentrati...
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive asbestos-linked cancer with limited therapeutic options and a dismal 5-year survival rate of ~5%. While aberrant production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) is a hallmark of MPM, ...
Humans have a remarkable ability to judge causal relationships from a limited number of unreliable observations. Past work on causal cognition has largely focused on normative accounts of human behavior, leaving unknown how biologically plausible neu...
Parameter estimation in nonlinear biological dynamical systems is a difficult inverse problem because the governing equations are often stiff or oscillatory, the data are sparse and noisy, and the objective landscape is non-convex. Physics-informed n...
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is characterised by profound genomic heterogeneity and heavy-tailed gene-expression distributions that challenge conventional machine-learning methods. We introduce the Tsallis-Gated Autoencoder (Tsallis-GAE), a physics-...
Machine-learning surrogate models are positioned to help optimize deep brain stimulation (DBS) usage by predicting neural activation in response to electrical stimulation, while minimizing tradeoffs between computational expense and accuracy. Previou...
Aptamers are single stranded DNA or RNA molecules selected for their high affinity and specificity to bind target molecules, similar to antibodies. They are commonly selected through the SELEX process, which involves the iterative exposure of a rando...
Biological organisms are driven by thermodynamic self-preservation, whereas large language models operate as dissipative tools decoupled from existential constraints. We introduce a metabolic model translating this imperative of life into a computati...
Recent deep learning models for L1000 chemical perturbation prediction incorporate dedicated drug molecular encoders. We retrained seven such models from scratch with zeroed or shuffled drug inputs, and compared them with a multilayer perceptron that...
