Exploration of drug repurposing for Mpox outbreaks targeting gene signatures and host-pathogen interactions
Monkeypox (Mpox) has emerged as a public health concern. In our study, we explored drug repurposing through multi-omics approaches to identify therapeutic targets. Our findings highlight key host-pathogen interactions (HPI), offering valuable insights for future treatments.
Multimodal model in the prediction of the delivery mode
We utilize these heterogeneous data obtained by the digital twin-empowered labour monitoring system to develop and assess an automated assessment tool capable of predicting the delivery mode.
Digital Twin for Fetal and Maternal Health
Digital Twin-Empowered Labour Monitoring System (DTLMS) is developed by Guangzhou Lianyin Medical Co., Ltd. (Lian-Med, China) for comprehensive maternal and fetal safety monitoring, and also offers decision support to optimize the use of caesarean section.
Segment Anything Model in Intrapartum Ultrasound Image Analysis
AoP-SAM is the current SOTA method on the PSFHS Challenge of MICCAI 2023.
Unlocking Lingonberry Secrets: Health Boosts Through Epigenomic Innovations
Lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea L.) is a small, perennial shrub that belongs to a large family of plants called Ericaceae, which includes about 4,250 species.
Proteomic analysis of the combined effects of cannabigerol and 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid on kinase-dependent signalling in UVB-irradiated human keratinocytes
Phytocannabinoid CBG together with EAA, a stable, lipophilic derivative of the vitamin C, recovered human skin cells irradiated by UV light. Their effects on kinases were manifested even after 24 hours.
Effects of CBG and EAA were linked to reduced modification of keratinocyte proteins by 4-HNE.
Behind the Paper: A Bioinspired Journey to Needle-Free Drug Delivery
This blog post offers a glimpse into the research journey that led to our recent publication in Nature detailing microjet delivery (MiDe) systems for gastrointestinal drug delivery.
