Background: The effects of noise on the vestibular and balance function are under-studied. Studies have demonstrated that like the cochlea, the otolith organs are also sensitive to sound but the exact mechanism is unclear. Both impulse and continuous noise exposure may damage the cochlear and/or vestibular organ and lead to the formation of endolymphatic hydrops.

: Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative tool in healthcare, particularly in drug and biomarker discovery, where it can enhance precision, streamline discovery processes, and optimize treatment strategies. Despite its potential, the application of AI in glioblastoma (GB) research, especially in identifying novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets, remains underexplored. The aim of this review is to map the existing literature on AI-driven approaches for biomarker and drug discovery in GB, highlighting key trends and gaps in current research.

Inflammation is a complex response to harmful stimuli, crucial for immunity, and linked to chronic diseases and cancer, with TGF-β and NF-κB pathways as key regulators. CD109 is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored protein, that our group has originally identified as a TGF-β co-receptor and inhibitor of TGF-β signaling. CD109 modulates TGF-β and NF-κB pathways, to influence immune responses and inflammation.
