Since the past decades, most of the nature inspired optimization algorithms (NIOA) have been developed and become admired due to their effectiveness for resolving a variety of complex problems of dissimilar domain. Firefly algorithm (FA) is well-known, yet efficient nature inspired swarm intelligence (SI) based metaheuristic algorithm. Since from its initiation, FA has become well-liked between the researchers due to its competence and turn out to be an interesting technique for the practitioners as well as researchers for solving the problems of numerous fields of research such as classifications, clustering, neural networks, biomedical engineering, healthcare as well as other research domain. Moreover, there is an outstanding track record of FA in solving biomedical engineering (BME) and healthcare (HC) problems. Abundant complexities have been worked out with the assist of FA and its variants. By taking these particulars into concern, in this paper, a first ever in-depth analysis has been addressed on the variants, importance, applications as well as enhancements of FA in BME as well as HC. The major intention behind this investigative work is to motivate the researchers to improve and innovate new solutions for multifaceted problems of healthcare and biomedical engineering using FA.

Over the past two decades, plant viral vectors have emerged as a powerful tool for the production of recombinant proteins in plants. Among the different plant viruses engineered to carry foreign genes of interest in their genomes, potyviruses have gained attention due to their polyprotein expression strategy and broad host range. To date, at least eleven different species belonging to the genus have been used for heterologous gene expression in both their natural and experimental hosts.

Wolbachia-based mosquito control strategies have gained significant attention as a sustainable approach to reduce the transmission of vector-borne diseases such as dengue, Zika, and chikungunya. These endosymbiotic bacteria can limit the ability of mosquitoes to transmit pathogens, offering a promising alternative to traditional chemical-based interventions. With the growing impact of climate change on mosquito population dynamics and disease transmission, Wolbachia interventions represent an adaptable and resilient strategy for mitigating the public health burden of vector-borne diseases.

In this study, we introduce a novel approach that integrates interpretability techniques from both traditional machine learning (ML) and deep neural networks (DNN) to quantify feature importance using global and local interpretation methods. Our method bridges the gap between interpretable ML models and powerful deep learning (DL) architectures, providing comprehensive insights into the key drivers behind model predictions, especially in detecting outliers within medical data. We applied this method to analyze COVID-19 pandemic data from 2020, yielding intriguing insights.

The discovery of immune checkpoints (ICs) has pushed cancer treatment into the next era. As an emerging immune checkpoint, the TIGIT/CD155 axis inhibits the cytotoxicity of T and NK cells through multiple pathways. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) targeting TIGIT are hopefully expected to address the issue of unresponsiveness to anti-PD-(L)1 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) by combination therapy.
