Motivation: Mechanistic modeling based on ordinary differential equations has led to numerous findings in systems biology by integrating prior knowledge and experimental data. However, the manual curation of knowledge necessary when constructing models poses a bottleneck. As the speed of knowledge accumulation continues to grow, there is a demand for a scalable means of constructing executable models.
Results: We previously introduced BioMASS-an open-source, Python-based framework-to construct, simulate, and analyze mechanistic models of signaling networks. With one of its features, Text2Model, BioMASS allows users to define models in a natural language-like format, thereby facilitating the construction of large-scale models. We demonstrate that Text2Model can serve as a tool for integrating external knowledge for mathematical modeling by generating Text2Model files from a pathway database or through the use of a large language model, and simulating its dynamics through BioMASS. Our findings reveal the tool's capabilities to encourage exploration from prior knowledge and pave the way for a fully data-driven approach to constructing mathematical models.
Availability And Implementation: The code and documentation for BioMASS are available at https://github.com/biomass-dev/biomass and https://biomass-core.readthedocs.io, respectively. The code used in this article are available at https://github.com/okadalabipr/text2model-from-knowledge.

Background Cardiopulmonary arrest is a leading cause of death and requires swift intervention for survival. Previous studies have highlighted the critical importance of initiating cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defibrillation within a limited timeframe. Improving outcomes depends on widespread CPR training, accessible automated external defibrillators (AEDs), and increased public awareness.

Although a substantial amount of research has been conducted to unravel the structural configurations of selenium under pressure, the exquisite sensitivity of selenium's p-orbital electrons to this external force, leading to a plethora of structural variations, leaves several intermediary phases still shrouded in mystery. We, herein, systematically identify the structural and electronic transformations of selenium under high pressure up to 300 GPa, employing crystal structure prediction in conjunction with first-principles calculations. Our results for the transition sequence (321 → 2/ → 3̄ → 3̄) of selenium are in good agreement with experimental ones.

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.

Background/aims: Rare disease drug development faces unique challenges, such as genotypic and phenotypic heterogeneity within small patient populations and a lack of established outcome measures for conditions without previously successful drug development programs. These challenges complicate the process of selecting the appropriate trial endpoints and conducting clinical trials in rare diseases. In this descriptive study, we examined novel drug approvals for non-oncologic rare diseases by the U.

Layperson cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillator (AED) use are vital for improving survival rates after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), yet their application varies by community demographics. We evaluated the concerns and factors influencing willingness to perform CPR and use AEDs among laypersons in high-risk, low-resource communities. From April 2022 to March 2024, laypersons in Northern Manhattan's Community District 12 completed surveys assessing their attitudes toward CPR and AED use before attending Hands-Only CPR training.
