BACKGROUND: Yin-deficiency constitution (YinDC) refers to a traditional Chinese medicine concept, characterized by an imbalance state that includes an imbalance in the gut microbiota, resulting from a relative deficiency of Yin fluids within the body...
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) to aid in the diagnosis of infectious diseases is a growing area of interest. AI-based applications in the clinical microbiology laboratory have shown great prospect for the automated interpretation of smears a...
Photosynthetic bacteria (PSB) excel in wastewater treatment by removing pollutants and generating biomass but are challenging to optimize due to complex operational and environmental interactions. Neural Ordinary Differential Equations, Elastic Net, ...
BACKGROUND: Twelve bacterial families identified as global priority pathogens (GPPs) pose the greatest threat to human health due to declining antibiotic efficacy. Robotics, a swift and contactless tool for disinfecting hospital surfaces, was sought ...
The types and quantities of microorganisms in activated sludge are directly related to the stability and efficiency of sewage treatment systems. This paper proposes a sludge microorganism detection method based on microscopic phase contrast image opt...
Mass production of biomedical microrobots demands expensive and complex preparation techniques and versatile biocompatible materials. Learning from natural bacteria flagella, the study demonstrates a magnetic polymer multilayer cylindrical microrobot...
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a promising approach to identify new antimicrobial compounds in diverse microbial species. Here we developed an AI-based, explainable deep learning model, EvoGradient, that predicts the potency of antimicrobial peptide...
The emergence of drug-resistant bacteria, often referred to as "superbugs," poses a profound and escalating challenge to global health systems, surpassing the capabilities of traditional antibiotic discovery methods. As resistance mechanisms evolve r...
