Purpose: This study explores the potential of generative AI models to aid experts in developing scripts for pharmacokinetic (PK) models, with a focus on constructing a two-compartment population PK model using data from Hosseini et al.
Methods: Generative AI tools ChatGPT v3.5, Gemini v2.0 Flash and Microsoft Copilot free could help PK professionals- even those without programming experience-learn the programming languages and skills needed for PK modeling. To evaluate these free AI tools, PK models were created in R Studio, covering key tasks in pharmacometrics and clinical pharmacology, including model descriptions, input requirements, results, and code generation, with a focus on reproducibility.
Results: ChatGPT demonstrated superior performance compared to Copilot and Gemini, highlighting strong foundational knowledge, advanced concepts, and practical skills, including PK code structure and syntax. Validation indicated high accuracy in estimated and simulated plots, with minimal differences in clearance (Cl) and volume of distribution (V c and V p) compared to reference values. The metrics showed absolute fractional error (AFE), absolute average fractional error (AAFE), and mean percentage error (MPE) values of 0.99, 1.14, and -1.85, respectively.
Conclusion: These results show that generative AI can effectively extract PK data from literature, build population PK models in R, and create interactive Shiny apps for visualization, with expert support.

Nuclear receptors (NRs) are a superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors that regulate gene expression in response to metabolic, hormonal, and environmental signals. These receptors play a critical role in metabolic homeostasis, inflammation, immune function, and disease pathogenesis, positioning them as key therapeutic targets. This review explores the mechanistic roles of NRs such as PPARs, FXR, LXR, and thyroid hormone receptors (THRs) in regulating lipid and glucose metabolism, energy expenditure, cardiovascular health, and neurodegeneration.

Histone arginine methylation by protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) is crucial for transcriptional regulation and is implicated in cancers. Despite their therapeutic potential, some PRMTs present challenges as drug targets due to their context-dependent activities. Here, we demonstrate that hypoxia triggers the rapid condensation of PRMT2, which is essential for its histone H3R8 asymmetric dimethylation (H3R8me2a) activity.

Hybrid breeding based on male sterility requires the removal of male parents, which is time- and labor-intensive; however, the use of female sterile male parent can solve this problem. In the offspring of distant hybridization between Brassica oleracea and Brassica napus, we obtained a mutant, 5GH12-279, which not only fails to generate gynoecium (thereby causing female sterility) but also has serrated leaves that could be used as a phenotypic marker in seedling screening. Genetic analysis revealed that this trait was controlled by a single dominant gene.

Agriculturally driven habitat degradation and destruction is the biggest threat to global biodiversity. Yet the impact of different foods and where they are produced on species extinction risks, and the mitigation potential of different interventions, remain poorly quantified. Here we link the LIFE biodiversity metric-a high-resolution global layer describing the marginal impact of land use on extinctions of ~30,000 vertebrate species-with food consumption and production data and provenance modelling.

The adoption of robotic pancreatectomy has grown significantly in recent years, driven by its potential advantages in precision, minimally invasive access, and improved patient recovery. However, mastering these complex procedures requires overcoming a substantial learning curve, and the role of structured mentoring in facilitating this transition remains underexplored. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to comprehensively evaluate the number of cases required to achieve surgical proficiency, assess the impact of mentoring on skill acquisition, and analyze how outcomes evolve throughout the learning process.
