Article Abstract
BioSentinel is the first biological CubeSat designed and developed for deep space. The main objectives of this NASA mission are to assess the effects of deep space radiation on biological systems and to engineer a CubeSat platform that can autonomously support and gather data from model organisms hundreds of thousands of kilometers from Earth. The articles in this special collection describe the extensive optimization of the biological payload system performed in preparation for this long-duration deep space mission. In this study, we briefly introduce BioSentinel and provide a glimpse into its technical and conceptual heritage by detailing the evolution of the science, subsystems, and capabilities of NASA's previous biological CubeSats. This introduction is not intended as an exhaustive review of CubeSat missions, but rather provides insight into the unique optimization parameters, science, and technology of those few that employ biological model systems.

Background: Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD), which includes cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) and arteriolosclerosis, often co-occurs with Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. The medial temporal lobe (MTL) is susceptible to hosting multiple AD pathologies, such as neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), amyloid-β plaques, phospho-Tar-DNA-Binding-Protein-43 (pTDP-43), as well as CSVD. Whether a causal relationship between these pathologies exists remains largely unknown, but one potential linking mechanism is the dysfunction of perivascular clearance.

Semantic segmentation of high-resolution images from remote sensing is crucial across various sectors. However, due to limitations in computational resources and the complexity of network architectures, many sophisticated semantic segmentation models struggle with efficiency in real-world applications, leading to an interest in developing lightweight model like borders. These models often employ a dual-branch structure, which balances processing speed and performance effectively.

Deep generative models have garnered significant attention for their efficiency in drug discovery, yet the synthesis of proposed molecules remains a challenge. Retrosynthetic planning, a part of computer-assisted synthesis planning, addresses this challenge by recursively decomposing molecules using symbolic rules and machine-trained scoring functions. However, current methods often treat each molecule independently, missing the opportunity to utilize shared synthesis patterns and repeat pathways, which may contribute from known synthesis routes to newly emerging, similar molecules, a notable challenge with AI-generated small molecules.
