Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a major threat to male fertility and quality of life, and mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are a promising therapeutic option. However, therapeutic outcomes are compromised by low MSC retention and survival rates in corpu...
Fish age is an important biological variable required as part of routine stock assessment and analysis of fish population dynamics. Age estimates are traditionally obtained by human experts from the count of ring-like patterns along calcified structu...
In dairy enterprises, predicting product quality attributes that are influenced by operating parameters is a major task. To reduce quality loss in production, a prediction-based quality control method is proposed in this study. In particular, a seria...

Inspired by the brain's information processing using binary spikes, spiking neural networks (SNNs) offer significant reductions in energy consumption and are more adept at incorporating multi-scale biological characteristics. In SNNs, spiking neurons...
A quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) study was conducted on 313 pesticides to predict their acute toxicity to Sheepshead minnow (Cyprinodon variegatus) by using DRAGON descriptors. Essentials accounting for a reliable model were all ...
Calcium oxalate (CaOx) nephrolithiasis constitutes approximately 75% of nephrolithiasis cases, resulting from the supersaturation and deposition of CaOx crystals in renal tissues. Despite their prevalence, precise biomarkers for CaOx nephrolithiasis ...
BACKGROUND: Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) is a critical strategy to rehabilitate marginal donor lungs, thereby increasing lung transplantation (LTx) rates. Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury inevitably occurs during LTx. Exploring the common mechanism...

Eye movements are the primary way primates interact with the world. Understanding how the brain controls the eyes is therefore crucial for improving human health and designing visual rehabilitation devices. However, brain activity is challenging to d...
Although bioinformatics-based methods accurately identify SEs (Super-enhancers), the results depend on feature design. It is foundational to representing biological sequences and automatically extracting their key features for improving SE identifica...
