The research aims to understand Alzheimer's genetic and immune landscapes using the amalgamation of three technologies: artificial intelligence (GenAI), integrative bioinformatics, and single-cell analysis. First, the study aims to identify and characterize the significant genes associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) using three GenAI models (GPT‑4o, Gemini model, and DeepSeek). After the genes were accumulated from GenAI models, 27 genes associated with AD were recoded. Furthermore, they were analyzed using integrative bioinformatics methods. Similarly, the immune landscape of AD using single-cell analysis was also explored, which reveals a high percentage of effector CD8 T cells (33.42%) and naive T cells (45.95%). The single-cell study found that effector memory T cells have two subsets. It also found that the macrophage population has started to spread and dendritic cells have decreased in Alzheimer's patients. The single-cell gene expression study reveals the top ten highly expressed genes (, , , , , , , , , and ). The clonal frequency indicates that CD8 T and naive T cell populations show the highest clonal frequency in healthy and AD individuals and are further noted them in the clonotype cell proportion study. Following our GenAI and single-cell profiling strategy, future studies will help in quickly understanding the genetic and immune basis of many diseases.

Introduction: Spinal cord injury (SCI) presents a significant burden to patients, families, and the healthcare system. The ability to accurately predict functional outcomes for SCI patients is essential for optimizing rehabilitation strategies, guiding patient and family decision making, and improving patient care.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 589 SCI patients admitted to a single acute rehabilitation facility and used the dataset to train advanced machine learning algorithms to predict patients' rehabilitation outcomes.

Background: Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality globally, primarily due to late-stage diagnosis, molecular heterogeneity, and therapy resistance. Key biomarkers such as EGFR, ALK, KRAS, and PD-1 have revolutionized precision oncology; however, comprehensive structural and clinical validation of these targets is crucial to enhance therapeutic efficacy.
Methods: Protein sequences for EGFR, ALK, KRAS, and PD-1 were retrieved from UniProt and modeled using SWISS-MODEL to generate high-confidence 3D structures.

Isoform-specific expression patterns have been linked to stress-related psychiatric disorders such as major depressive disorder (MDD). To further explore their involvement, we constructed co-expression networks using total gene expression (TE) and isoform ratio (IR) data from affected ( = 210, 81% with depressive symptoms) and unaffected ( = 95) individuals. Networks were validated using advanced graph generation methods.

This study utilized integrated sensory-guided, machine learning, and bioinformatics strategies identify umami-enhancing peptides from , investigated their mechanism of umami enhancement, and confirmed their umami-enhancing properties through sensory evaluations and electronic tongue. Three umami-enhancing peptides (APDGLPTGQ, SDDGFQ, and GLGDDL) demonstrated synergistic/additive effects by significantly enhancing umami intensity and duration in monosodium glutamate (MSG). Furthermore, molecular docking showed that these umami-enhancing peptides enhanced both the binding affinity and interaction forces between MSG and the T1R1/T1R3 receptor system, thereby enhancing umami perception.

Purpose: Autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) is the most common organ-specific autoimmune disease, and its pathogenesis is closely related to the inflammatory microenvironment driven by immune cell penetration. The role of the newly proposed concept of PANoptosis in immune-related diseases is gradually being revealed. However, there is currently a lack of reports on PANoptosis in AIT.
