Spread through air spaces (STAS) is a distinct invasion pattern in lung cancer, crucial for prognosis assessment and guiding surgical decisions. Histopathology is the gold standard for STAS detection, yet traditional methods are subjective, time-consuming, and prone to misdiagnosis, limiting large-scale applications. We present VERN, an image analysis model utilizing a feature-interactive Siamese graph encoder to predict STAS from lung cancer histopathological images.

This study investigated the generational recruitment of microorganisms in different root niches of () under arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb) stress. The was cultivated in As- and Sb-cocontaminated mine soils (MS) and artificial pollution soils (PS) over two generations in controlled conditions.

Multimodal prediction of cancer patient survival offers a more comprehensive and precise approach. However, existing methods still grapple with challenges related to missing multimodal data and information interaction within modalities.
