Objective: The trastuzumab emtansine, trastuzumab deruxtecan, and sacituzumab govitecan are antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) that have demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of breast cancer. Nonetheless, these ADCs can also induce severe toxicities in various organ systems, particularly the hematological system. Therefore, this study evaluated the hematological toxicities associated with ADCs in breast cancer based on real-world data.

We presented DDI-GPT, a deep learning framework that predicts DDIs by combining knowledge graphs (KGs) and pre-trained large language models (LLMs), enabling early detection of potential drug interactions. We demonstrated that DDI-GPT outperforms current state-of-the-art methods by capturing contextual dependencies between biomedical entities to infer potential DDIs.

However, identifying optimal drug combinations tailored to specific cancer subtypes and individual patients is extremely challenging due to the vast number of possible combinations and tumor heterogeneity. To address this gap, we take a machine learning approach combining deep learning with transfer learning to incorporate prior scientific knowledge and predict drug synergy based on tumor-specific transcriptome profiles.

Targeting cardiac remodeling is regarded as a key therapeutic strategy for heart failure. Kielin/chordin-like protein (KCP) is a secretory protein with 18 cysteine-rich domains and associated with kidney and liver fibrosis. However, the relationship between KCP and cardiac remodeling remains unclear.

In this work, we present a system employing Energy harvesting, a self-powered technology that can recycle energy from the surrounding environment. A high-efficiency radio frequency (RF) energy-harvesting chip was designed and fabricated.

Microorganisms play very important roles in carcinogenesis, tumor progression, and resistance upon treatment. Due to the challenge of accurately acquiring samples and quantifying low-biomass tissue microorganisms, most studies have focused on the effect of gut microorganisms on cancer treatments, especially the efficacy of immunotherapy. Although recent publications reveal the potential interactions between intratumor microorganisms and the immune microenvironment, whether and to what extent the intratumor microorganism could affect progression and treatment outcome remain controversial.

Through screening for molecular vulnerabilities of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), we identified a set of transcription factors (TFs) including FOXO1, EBF1, PAX5, and IRF4 that are essential for MCL propagation. Integrated chromatin immunoprecipitation and sequencing (ChIP-Seq) with transcriptional network reconstruction analysis revealed FOXO1 as a master regulator that acts upstream in the regulatory TF hierarchy.

Background: Chemotherapy can induce premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). POI causes multiple sequelae and is currently incurable. As shown in our previous studies, systemically transplanted human amnion-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hAD-MSCs) home to ovaries with chemotherapy-induced POI and subsequently reduce ovarian injury and improve ovarian function in rats with POI.
