Cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (cis-AKI) is the primary organ toxicity that occurs during cisplatin-based cancer treatment, and currently, there is a lack of effective treatment methods. The occurrence of cis-AKI involves complex pathophysiological processes, therefore, phenotypic screening-based drug discovery may be more applicable for identifying lead compounds to treat cis-AKI. In this study, a cascading phenotypic screening was designed and implemented.

The assessment of corneal fluorescein staining is essential, yet current AI models for Corneal Staining Score (CSS) assessments inadequately identify punctate lesions due to annotation challenges and noise, risk misrepresenting treatment responses through "plateau" effects, and highlight the necessity for real-world evaluations to enhance disease severity assessments. To address these limitations, we developed the Fine-grained Knowledge Distillation Corneal Staining Score (FKD-CSS) model. FKD-CSS integrates fine-grained features into CSS grading, providing continuous and nuanced scores with interpretability.

The involvement of the fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO) in the development and advancement of metabolic disorders is widely recognized. However, the existing FTO inhibitor entacapone has been limited in clinical application due to its low potency and short plasma elimination half-life. Here, through drug library screening and in depth structure-activity relationship analysis, title compound , eriodictyol was identified as a potent FTO inhibitor, and showed good binding to FTO by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and Microscale thermophoresis (MST) detection.

The plasma lipidome and immune cells are instrumental in shaping the health profile of an organism, and their influence on diseases is profound. However, the intricate interactions between cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) and these physiological components have yet to be comprehensively explored. Employing Mendelian randomization (MR), our study delved into the causal links among immune cells, the lipidome, and CCA.

Tailored design of organic linkers or metal nodes can introduce desirable functionalities into metal-organic cages (MOCs), significantly expanding their potential applications. In this study, we present a viable approach for engineering acyl-type metal nodes to create interior oxygen-rich sites within MOCs, enabling specific recognition of metal ions, including radioactive contaminants, while maintaining the structural integrity of the MOCs. A novel MOC featuring a uranyl-sealed calix[4]resorcinarene (C[4]R)-based multisite cavity, referred to as UOC, is synthesized as a prototype.
