Peptide-based drug discovery has surged with the development of peptide hormone-derived analogs for the treatment of diabetes and obesity. Machine learning (ML)-enabled quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) approaches have shown great p...
BACKGROUND: The forced swim test (FST) and tail suspension test (TST) are widely used to assess depressive-like behaviors in animals. Immobility time is used as an important parameter in both FST and TST. Traditional methods for analyzing FST and TST...
BACKGROUND: Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a common consequence of hypertension and can lead to heart failure. The immune response plays an important role in hypertensive LVH; however, there is no comprehensive method to investigate the mechan...
BACKGROUND: Acetaminophen (APAP) is commonly used as an antipyretic analgesic. However, acetaminophen overdose may contribute to liver injury and even liver failure. Acetaminophen-induced liver injury (AILI) is closely related to mitochondrial oxidat...
Cytokines have been identified as key contributors to the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), yet conventional treatments often prove inadequate and carry substantial side effects. Here, we present an innovative biohybrid robotic system,...
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to explore the underlying mechanisms of sepsis and acute kidney injury (AKI), including sepsis-associated AKI (SA-AKI), a frequent complication in critically ill sepsis patients.
AIM: To explore biomarkers that can predict the response of type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients to metformin at an early stage to provide better treatment for T2D.

BACKGROUND: Analysis of vascular networks is an essential step to unravel the mechanisms regulating the physiological and pathological organization of blood vessels. So far, most of the analyses are performed using 2-dimensional projections of 3-dime...
Radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) is a dose-limiting toxicity for cancer patients receiving thoracic radiotherapy. As such, it is important to characterize metabolic associations with the early and late stages of RILI, namely pneumonitis and pulmo...
