The conventional method of hygroscopicity determination proposed by Callahan and co-workers utilizes more sample and time, may not be precise in all the cases, and is a relatively broader classification system. The method of indicating degree of hygroscopicity as per European Pharmacopoeia considers equilibration of sample for 24 hours under single humidity condition and may not necessarily ensure equilibration in all the cases. Additionally, both these methods do not provide information on solid state changes occurring within the sample during the course of experiment. This research work envisages an efficient throughput method for hygroscopicity determination, and validates it with active and inactive pharmaceutical ingredients using sorption analysis. Further, this method has been performed under optimal equilibration conditions, in a throughput manner (consuming less sample and time), with additional information on solid state changes occurring within the experimental conditions. This throughput method would be a valuable tool for hygroscopicity assessment of new chemical entities, during drug development in particular, and across all pharmaceutical materials in general.

Spatially resolved transcriptomics technologies provide high-throughput measurements of gene expression in a tissue slice, but the sparsity of these data complicates analysis of spatial gene expression patterns. We address this issue by deriving a topographic map of a tissue slice-analogous to a map of elevation in a landscape-using a quantity called the isodepth. Contours of constant isodepths enclose domains with distinct cell type composition, while gradients of the isodepth indicate spatial directions of maximum change in expression.

As a pivotal branch of metabolomics, lipidomics studies global changes in lipid metabolism under different physiological and pathological conditions or drug interventions, discovers key lipid markers, and elaborates the associated lipid metabolism network. There are a considerable number of lipids in the host, which act on various functional networks such as metabolism and immune regulation. As an indispensable research method, lipidomics plays a key character in the analysis of lipid composition in organisms, the elaboration of the physiological mechanism of lipids, and the decoding of their character in the occurrence and development of diseases by exploring the character of lipids in the host environmental network.

Proteome-scale interaction prediction is essential for understanding protein functions and disease mechanisms. Traditional experimental methods are often limited by scale and complexity, driving the need for computational approaches. Deep learning has emerged as a powerful tool, enabling high-throughput, accurate predictions of protein interactions.

Background: Osteoporosis (OP) is a prevalent global health concern, impacting millions of individuals, especially the elderly. The etiology of senile OP is associated with the imbalance of osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation in the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). The imbalance of BMSCs differentiation fate will leading to bone loss and lipids accumulation.
