BACKGROUND: Dysregulated blood lipid metabolism, a primary driver of hyperlipidemia, is closely associated with excessive very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) synthesis and secretion. Nuciferine, a bioactive compound isolated from lotus leaves, demons...
Protein misfolding diseases, including α1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD), pose substantial health challenges, with their cellular progression still poorly understood. We use spatial proteomics by mass spectrometry and machine learning to map AATD in h...

BACKGROUND: Emodin, a hepatoprotective agent derived from various herbs, exhibits dual effects on liver injury, necessitating further investigation into its therapeutic and toxic properties. Traditional meta-analyses lack predictive capability for do...
This study aimed to establish a link between the microstructure of simulated fibrotic liver tissues and the measured shear wave speed (SWS) variability using a machine-learning (ML)-based approach.. Fibrotic liver tissues were simulated using biphasi...
An MRI-only workflow requires synthetic computed tomography (sCT) images to enable dose calculation. This study evaluated the dosimetric and patient positioning accuracy of deep learning-generated sCT for liver radiotherapy.sCT images were generated ...

OBJECTIVE: This study evaluates the impact of deep learning-enhanced T1-weighted VIBE sequences (DL-VIBE) on image quality and procedural parameters during MR-guided thermoablation of liver malignancies, compared to standard VIBE (SD-VIBE).
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Accurate medical tumor segmentation is critical for early diagnosis and treatment planning, significantly improving patient outcomes. This study aims to enhance liver and tumor segmentation from CT and liver images by develo...
