BACKGROUND: Obesity has emerged as a growing global public health concern over recent decades. Obesity prevalence exhibits substantial global variation, ranging from less than 5% in regions like China, Japan, and Africa to rates exceeding 75% in urba...
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to screen an immune-related gene (IRG) panel and develop a novel approach for diagnosing pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) utilizing bioinformatics and machine learning (ML).
Heart failure (HF) threatens tens of millions of people's health worldwide, which is the terminal stage in the development of majority cardiovascular diseases. Recently, an increasing number of studies have demonstrated that bioinformatics and machin...
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...
Positron emission tomography (PET) utilizes radiotracers like [F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) to measure brain activity in health and disease. Performing behavioral tasks between the FDG injection and the PET scan allows the FDG signal to reflect task-re...
The accurate detection and quantification of rodent behavior forms a cornerstone of basic biomedical research. Current data-driven approaches, which segment free exploratory behavior into clusters, suffer from low statistical power due to multiple te...
Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) aim to restore sensorimotor function to individuals suffering from neural injury and disease. A critical step in implementing a BMI is to decode movement intention from recorded neural activity patterns in sensorimotor...
Computer-vision and machine-learning (ML) approaches are being developed to provide scalable, unbiased, and sensitive methods to assess mouse behavior. Here, we used the ML-based variational animal motion embedding (VAME) segmentation platform to ass...
BACKGROUND: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder with a high social burden and limited treatments. Hypoxic condition of the brain is considered an important pathological mechanism of ASD. HIF1A is a key participant in brain...
Spinal cord injury (SCI) often leads to central neuropathic pain, a condition associated with significant morbidity and is challenging in terms of the clinical management. Despite extensive efforts, identifying effective biomarkers for neuropathic pa...
