3D Spatial Learning for Adsorption Energy Prediction in Multi-Temporal Solution Systems: The MTSS Data Set and a GCN-Based Network.

Existing methods for adsorption energy prediction primarily focus on individual molecules or static molecular pairs, lacking the capabilities to model the diverse spatial configurations found in complex solution systems. While traditional data sets are static, dynamic systems explore a vast conformational space over time. This paper introduces the Multi-Temporal Solution System (MTSS) data set containing 500,000 temporally resolved configurations (3D atomic coordinates + adsorption energy labels) across five solvents.

Aptamer-CRISPR/Cas12a-Based Lateral Flow Technique for Visualized Rapid Detection of Endogenous Damage Factor Neu5Gc in Red Meat.

The N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc), a major salivary acid molecule found on the cell surface of animals such as pigs, cows, and sheep, can be metabolically incorporated into the body through consumption of animal-derived foods like red meat. This leads to an immune response and chronic inflammation in individuals who do not naturally produce Neu5Gc, including humans and poultry, further increasing the risk of cancer. The trans-cleavage activity of Cas12a is activated by the recognition of the target aptamer by the crRNA, resulting in the cleavage of the dual-labeled probe.

Machine learning based on pangenome-wide association studies reveals the impact of host source on the zoonotic potential of closely related bacterial pathogens.

Variations in host species significantly impact bacterial growth traits and antibiotic resistance, making it essential to consider host origin when evaluating the zoonotic potential of pathogens. This study focuses on multiple Brucella species, which share highly similar genetic material, to explore the relationship between host origin and zoonotic potential by integrating pan-genome-wide association studies (pan-GWAS) with machine learning (ML). Our results present an open pangenome of Brucella spp.

High-elongation, water-weldable, and fully degradable biomass foams fabricated via oven drying.

Biomass-based foams present a promising alternative to conventional plastic foams. However, many reported biomass-based foams are composed of nondegradable components and are mechanically weak and brittle. We proposed a hybrid biomass-driven foaming strategy that used specially designed cellulose nanofibers and sodium caseinate to synergistically create stable wet foams and form gas-impermeable bubble interfaces to prevent structural collapse during oven drying.

URFM: A general Ultrasound Representation Foundation Model for advancing ultrasound image diagnosis.

Ultrasound imaging is critical for clinical diagnostics, providing insights into various diseases and organs. However, artificial intelligence (AI) in this field faces challenges, such as the need for large labeled datasets and limited task-specific model applicability, particularly due to ultrasound's low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). To overcome these, we introduce the Ultrasound Representation Foundation Model (URFM), designed to learn robust, generalizable representations from unlabeled ultrasound images, enabling label-efficient adaptation to diverse diagnostic tasks.

The mechanism of high pressure-induced phase transition in titanium dioxide: molecular dynamics simulations.

The phase transition behavior of anatase TiO nanocrystals under high pressure has attracted considerable attention; however, systematic understanding of the atomic-scale mechanism of the solid-solid phase transition remains unclear. Therefore, in the current work, TiO supercells of different sizes were constructed and the atomic rearrangement processes were investigated through molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations. Under high pressure, TiO undergoes a structural phase transition from the anatase phase to the baddeleyite phase, accompanied by the coordination polyhedron transformation from [TiO] octahedra to [TiO] mono-capped trigonal prisms, following a non-diffusive transition pathway.

Discovery of Fulzerasib (GFH925) for the Treatment of KRAS G12C-Mutated Solid Tumors.

RAS mutations are the most prevalent genetic alterations in human tumors, accounting for 30% of all cases. Among these mutations, KRAS G12C emerged as the first druggable target through covalent attachment, which locks the protein in its inactive state. Employing a structure-based drug design strategy, we identified fulzerasib (GFH925), which features a novel lactam-based tetracyclic naphthyridinone scaffold.

Pharmacokinetics and Safety of Ripretinib in Participants with Hepatic Impairment: A Phase 1 Study.

Introduction: Ripretinib, an oral switch-control inhibitor of KIT tyrosine kinase and platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha kinase, is approved for adults with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumor who received prior treatment with three or more kinase inhibitors, including imatinib. Ripretinib is metabolized into the equally active major metabolite DP-5439, a prominent component of total drug exposure in humans after oral administration. Ripretinib and DP-5439 undergo hepatic metabolism mainly via cytochrome P450 3A4.

Catalytic fast pyrolysis of waste battery separators with limited removal of the AlO layer for selective aromatic hydrocarbons production over HZSM-5 catalyst.

Waste battery separators typically feature a "sandwich" structure made of plastic substrates and AlO layers, which are stable and difficult to degrade or recycle. To address this, a novel method was developed for the directional degradation and high-value conversion of waste plastics, combining alkaline pretreatment with catalytic pyrolysis, promoting the efficient and valuable recycling of waste battery separators. Specifically, alkaline washing was applied for the pretreatment of the AlO-layered separators to control the limited removal of the AlO layer.
