Background And Objectives: Rates of mental health disorders are rising among adolescents and young adults. Therefore, scalable methods for preventing psychopathology in these age groups are needed. As repetitive negative thinking (RNT) is a risk factor for depression and anxiety disorders, targeting RNT via smartphone app promises to be an effective, scalable strategy.

To fully leverage TP53 mutation status for personalized medicine, a thorough understanding of the functional diversity of these mutations is essential. We conducted a deep mutational scan using saturation genome editing with CRISPR-mediated homology-directed repair to engineer 9,225 TP53 variants in cancer cells.

Fungi provide valuable solutions for diverse biotechnological applications, such as enzymes in the food industry, bioactive metabolites for healthcare, and biocontrol organisms in agriculture. Current workflows for identifying new biocontrol fungi often rely on subjective visual observations of strains' performance in microbe-microbe interaction studies, making the process time-consuming and difficult to reproduce. To overcome these challenges, we developed an AI-automated image classification approach using machine learning algorithm based on deep neural network.
