Inspired by the most recent scientific advances in the field of biology and biotechnology, several artists propose, for a number of years now, singular artworks, at the frontier of arts and science, that transform living beings into aesthetics proposals. These new artistic practices are developing under the appellation of “bioart” and have for effects to blur the border between arts and science. These artists are taking over laboratories and manipulate the living. Many scientists venture themselves into those new territories or collaborate on creations. This field of artistic investigation inspires a number of reflections from bioethics. Entitled “Art(bio)ethics”, this special issue proposes an encounter between bioart and bioethics in order to offer a recent and varied sample of reflections on the relations developing between these two disciplines.

Sperm DNA fragmentation index: limited effectiveness on predicting embryo quality in assisted reproduction technology treatments.
Reprod Biol Endocrinol
January 2025
Reproductive Medicine Center, Zhuhai Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital, 543 Ningxi Road, Zhuhai, 519000, China.
Purpose: Prior sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) thresholds for diagnosing male infertility and predicting assisted reproduction technology (ART) outcomes fluctuated between 15 and 30%, with no agreed standard. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the sperm DFI on early embryonic development during ART treatments and establish appropriate DFI cut-off values.
Methods: Retrospectively analyzed 913 couple's ART cycles from 2021 to 2022, encompassing 1,476 IVF and 295 ICSI cycles, following strict criteria.
HDN-DDI: a novel framework for predicting drug-drug interactions using hierarchical molecular graphs and enhanced dual-view representation learning.
BMC Bioinformatics

School of Computer Science and Technology, University of Science and Technology of China, 443 Huangshan Road, Hefei, 230027, China.
Background: Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) especially antagonistic ones present significant risks to patient safety, underscoring the urgent need for reliable prediction methods. Recently, substructure-based DDI prediction has garnered much attention due to the dominant influence of functional groups and substructures on drug properties. However, existing approaches face challenges regarding the insufficient interpretability of identified substructures and the isolation of chemical substructures.

Faculty of Art and Science, Department of Chemistry, Yıldız Technical University, 34220, İstanbul, Türkiye.
In the present study, dispersive solid phase extraction - hydride generation integrated with micro-sampling gas-liquid separator - flame atomic absorption spectrometry was proposed to determine lead in lake water samples taken in the Horseshoe Island, Antarctica. In scope of this study, microwave assisted NiFeO nanoparticles were synthesized, and the characterization of nanoparticles were carried out by FT-IR, XRD and SEM. All influential parameters of dispersive solid phase extraction and hydride generation were optimized to enhance signal intensity belonging to the analyte.

Background: Gestational exposure to non-persistent endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) may be associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. While many EDCs affect the endocrine system, their effects on endocrine-related metabolic pathways remain unclear. This study aims to explore the global metabolome changes associated with EDC biomarkers at delivery.

Department of Biomedical Engineering, School of Life Science and Technology, Changchun University of Science and Technology, Changchun, 130022, China.
The cervical cell classification technique can determine the degree of cellular abnormality and pathological condition, which can help doctors to detect the risk of cervical cancer at an early stage and improve the cure and survival rates of cervical cancer patients. Addressing the issue of low accuracy in cervical cell classification, a deep convolutional neural network A2SDNet121 is proposed. A2SDNet121 takes DenseNet121 as the backbone network.
