The autoxidation of triglyceride (or triacylglycerol, TAG) is a poorly understood complex system. It is known from mass spectrometry measurements that, although initiated by a single molecule, this system involves an abundance of intermediate species and a complex network of reactions. For this reason, the attribution of the mass peaks to exact molecular structures is difficult without additional information about the system. We provide such information using a graph theory-based algorithm. Our algorithm performs an automatic discovery of the chemical reaction network that is responsible for the complexity of the mass spectra in drying oils. This knowledge is then applied to match experimentally measured mass spectra with computationally predicted molecular graphs. We demonstrate this methodology on the autoxidation of triolein as measured by electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Our protocol can be readily applied to investigate other oils and their mixtures.

Studying the changes in cellular transcriptional profiles induced by small molecules can significantly advance our understanding of cellular state alterations and response mechanisms under chemical perturbations, which plays a crucial role in drug discovery and screening processes. Considering that experimental measurements need substantial time and cost, we developed a deep learning-based method called Molecule-induced Transcriptional Change Predictor (MiTCP) to predict changes in transcriptional profiles (CTPs) of 978 landmark genes induced by molecules. MiTCP utilizes graph neural network-based approaches to simultaneously model molecular structure representation and gene co-expression relationships, and integrates them for CTP prediction.

Spatially resolved transcriptomics technologies potentially provide the extra spatial position information and tissue image to better infer spatial cell-cell interactions (CCIs) in processes such as tissue homeostasis, development, and disease progression. However, methods for effectively integrating spatial multimodal data to infer CCIs are still lacking. Here, the authors propose a deep learning method for integrating features through co-convolution, called SpaGraphCCI, to effectively integrate data from different modalities of SRT by projecting gene expression and image feature into a low-dimensional space.

Introduction: Opium and cigarette smoking have been identified as significant cancer risk factors. Recently, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified opium as a Group 1 carcinogen in 2020.
Method: Using data from a multicenter case-control study in Iran called IROPICAN, involving 717 cases of bladder cancer and 3477 controls, we assessed the interactions on the causal additive scale between opium use and cigarette smoking and their attributing effects to evaluate public health relevance and test for different mechanistic interaction forms to provide new insights for developing of bladder cancer.

Accurate prediction of ligand-receptor binding affinity is crucial in structure-based drug design, significantly impacting the development of effective drugs. Recent advances in machine learning (ML)-based scoring functions have improved these predictions, yet challenges remain in modeling complex molecular interactions. This study introduces the AGL-EAT-Score, a scoring function that integrates extended atom-type multiscale weighted colored subgraphs with algebraic graph theory.
