Behind the Paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
The decreasing housing utilization efficiency in China’s cities
In contrast to most regions of the world, where there are high rates of urbanization, there is no shortage of urban housing in China. Quite the opposite: there has been an overproduction of housing in Chinese cities.
A first global atlas of the bacterial microbiome in the world’s glacier-fed streams
Glaciers and their streams are vanishing at an unprecedented pace because of global warming. What else are we potentially losing beside freshwater resources? In our article in Nature, we show what else besides freshwater resources we are potentially losing as glaciers shrink — a unique microbiome!
Lead-free metal halide perovskite crystal enables excitation-mode-selective multiexcitonic emissions
Owing to the zero-dimensional nature, different excitonic states in low-dimensional perovskite crystals can be selectively excited by ultraviolet light, X-ray irradiation, and mechanical action, enabling dynamic control of steady/transient-state spectral features by modulating the excitation modes.
Linking tissue injury to neural precursor reprogramming in gliomagenesis
In this article, we provide a behind-the-scenes narrative of a new publication from my lab, led by Akram Hamed, published today in Nature: Gliomagenesis mimics an injury response orchestrated by neural crest-like cells. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-08356-2
Automated Differentiation of Wide QRS Complex Tachycardia: A Game-Changer in Cardiac Care
Wide QRS complex tachycardia (WCT) is a critical arrhythmia requiring accurate differentiation into ventricular tachycardia (VT) or supraventricular wide complex tachycardia (SWCT). Our machine learning-based algorithms use novel ECG features to enhance diagnostic precision, speed, and reliability.
Towards Sustainable Benchmarking in AI for Digital Pathology
Deep Learning (DL) can transform medical diagnostics, but its environmental cost is often overlooked. A new benchmarking approach for DL in pathology is vital, integrating carbon footprint with diagnostic performance to develop sustainable, efficient AI solutions.
