ExposOmix-Fed: A Federated, Site-Invariant Protocol for Aligning the Environmental Exposome, Multi-Omics, and Abdominal MRI for Colorectal Cancer Risk Stratification in UK Biobank

ExposOmix-Fed is a federated, site-invariant protocol that integrates environmental exposome, multi-omics, and abdominal MRI data for colorectal cancer risk stratification within a privacy-preserving framework, demonstrating via in-silico validation on calibrated synthetic data that it effectively recovers injected cross-modal signals and selection-bias-corrected hazard ratios while enabling auditable exposure–molecule interaction maps.

Integrated Multi-Omics Analysis of Lung Adenocarcinoma (TCGA-LUAD): A Comprehensive Study of Genomic, Epigenomic, Copy Number Variations, and Transcriptomic Alterations

This study utilizes an integrated multi-omics analysis of TCGA-LUAD data combined with machine learning and network analysis to identify and validate five prognostic biomarkers (BIRC3, PSMB1, PSMA4, PSMC4, and TNFRSF12A) that are significantly associated with poor overall survival in lung adenocarcinoma, despite showing limited diagnostic utility.

Frequency-Dependent Impact of Arterial Wall Compliance on Hemodynamic Predictions: A Fluid–Structure Interaction Study

This study demonstrates that neglecting arterial wall compliance in cardiovascular simulations introduces frequency-dependent errors that progressively increase with heart rate, as rigid-wall models fail to capture the compliance-driven storage and damping mechanisms essential for accurate hemodynamic predictions.

Riemannian geometry meets fMRI: the advantages of modeling correlation manifolds and eigenvector subspaces

This paper introduces a scalable geometric framework that utilizes the Off–log metric for correlation matrices and Grassmannian subspace discrimination for eigenvector analysis to enhance the sensitivity and predictive performance of fMRI-based brain network modeling while maintaining compatibility with standard machine learning workflows.

AI-Driven Lumped-Element Modeling of Human Respiratory System for Studying Voice Mechanics

This paper presents a novel AI-driven, physics-based lumped-element model that integrates deep learning-extracted vocal fold dynamics with a spring-damper-mass representation of the respiratory system to simulate voice production and predict non-invasively measurable parameters like subglottal pressure and energy transfer mechanisms.

Integrating genomic tools into ex situ conservation management of caribou (Rangifer tarandus) in Canada

This study demonstrates the successful application of a 63K SNP array to genotype 49 caribou in Canadian zoological facilities, providing the first molecular characterization of this managed population to optimize breeding strategies, preserve genetic diversity, and support future wild reintroduction efforts.
