J Chem Inf Model. 2025 Feb 27. doi: 10.1021/acs.jcim.4c02051. Online ahead of print.
ABSTRACT
Cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP450s) play crucial roles in metabolizing many drugs, and thus, local chemical structure can profoundly influence drug efficacy and toxicity. Therefore, the accurate prediction of CYP450-mediated reaction sites can increase the efficiency of drug discovery and development. Here, we present GLMCyp, a deep learning-based approach, for predicting CYP450 reaction sites on small molecules. By integrating two-dimensional (2D) molecular graph features, three-dimensional (3D) features from Uni-Mol, and relevant CYP450 protein features generated by ESM-2, GLMCyp could accurately predict bonds of metabolism (BoMs) targeted by a panel of nine human CYP450s. Incorporating protein features allowed GLMCyp application in broader CYP450 metabolism prediction tasks. Additionally, substrate molecular feature processing enhanced the accuracy and interpretability of the predictions. The model was trained on the EBoMD data set and reached an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC-AUC) of 0.926. GLMCyp also showed a relatively strong capacity for feature extraction and generalizability in validation with external data sets. The GLMCyp model and data sets are available for public use (https://github.com/lvimmind/GLMCyp-Predictor) to facilitate drug metabolism screening.

Artificial Intelligence Iterative Reconstruction for Dose Reduction in Pediatric Chest CT: A Clinical Assessment via Below 3 Years Patients With Congenital Heart Disease
J Thorac Imaging. 2025 Feb 27. doi: 10.1097/RTI.0000000000000827. Online ahead of print.
ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: To assess the performance of a newly introduced deep learning-based reconstruction algorithm, namely the artificial intelligence iterative reconstruction (AIIR), in reducing the dose of pediatric chest CT by using the image data of below 3-year-old patients with congenital heart disease (CHD).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The lung image available from routine-dose cardiac CT angiography (CTA) on below 3 years patients with CHD was employed as a reference for evaluating the paired low-dose chest CT. A total of 191 subjects were prospectively enrolled, where the dose for chest CT was reduced to ~0.1 mSv while the cardiac CTA protocol was kept unchanged. The low-dose chest CT images, obtained with the AIIR and the hybrid iterative reconstruction (HIR), were compared in image quality, ie, overall image quality and lung structure depiction, and in diagnostic performance, ie, severity assessment of pneumonia and airway stenosis.
RESULTS: Compared with the reference, lung image quality was not found significantly different on low-dose AIIR images (all P>0.05) but obviously inferior with the HIR (all P<0.05). Compared with the HIR, low-dose AIIR images also achieved a closer pneumonia severity index (AIIR 4.32±3.82 vs. Ref 4.37±3.84, P>0.05; HIR 5.12±4.06 vs. Ref 4.37±3.84, P<0.05) and airway stenosis grading (consistently graded: AIIR 88.5% vs. HIR 56.5% ) to the reference.
CONCLUSIONS: AIIR has the potential for large dose reduction in chest CT of patients below 3 years of age while preserving image quality and achieving diagnostic results nearly equivalent to routine dose scans.

J Evid Based Med. 2025 Mar;18(1):e70005. doi: 10.1111/jebm.70005.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: Leukemia is a type of blood cancer that begins in the bone marrow and results in high numbers of abnormal white blood cells. Automated detection and classification of leukemia and its subtypes using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms plays a significant role in the early diagnosis and treatment of this fatal disease. This study aimed to review and synthesize research findings on AI-based approaches in leukemia detection and classification from peripheral blood smear images.
METHODS: A systematic literature search was conducted across four e-databases (Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and IEEE Xplore) from January 2015 to March 2023 by searching the keywords "Leukemia," "Machine Learning," and "Blood Smear Image," as well as their synonyms. All original journal articles and conference papers that used ML algorithms in detecting and classifying leukemia were included. The study quality was assessed using the Qiao Quality Assessment tool.
RESULTS: From 1325 articles identified through a systematic search, 190 studies were eligible for this review. The mean validation accuracy (ACC) of the ML methods applied in the reviewed studies was 95.38%. Among different ML methods, modern techniques were mostly considered to detect and classify leukemia (60.53% of studies). Supervised learning was the dominant ML paradigm (79% of studies). Studies utilized common ML methodologies for leukemia detection and classification, including preprocessing, feature extraction, feature selection, and classification. Deep learning (DL) techniques, especially convolutional neural networks, were the most widely used modern algorithms in the mentioned methodologies. Most studies relied on internal validation (87%). Moreover, K-fold cross-validation and train/test split were the commonly employed validation strategies.
CONCLUSION: AI-based algorithms are widely used in detecting and classifying leukemia with remarkable performance. Future studies should prioritize rigorous external validation to evaluate generalizability.

Detecting Eating and Social Presence with All Day Wearable RGB-T
IEEE Int Conf Connect Health Appl Syst Eng Technol. 2023 Jun;2023:68-79. doi: 10.1145/3580252.3586974. Epub 2024 Jan 22.
ABSTRACT
Social presence has been known to impact eating behavior among people with obesity; however, the dual study of eating behavior and social presence in real-world settings is challenging due to the inability to reliably confirm the co-occurrence of these important factors. High-resolution video cameras can detect timing while providing visual confirmation of behavior; however, their potential to capture all-day behavior is limited by short battery lifetime and lack of autonomy in detection. Low-resolution infrared (IR) sensors have shown promise in automating human behavior detection; however, it is unknown if IR sensors contribute to behavior detection when combined with RGB cameras. To address these challenges, we designed and deployed a low-power, and low-resolution RGB video camera, in conjunction with a low-resolution IR sensor, to test a learned model's ability to detect eating and social presence. We evaluated our system in the wild with 10 participants with obesity; our models displayed slight improvement when detecting eating (5%) and significant improvement when detecting social presence (44%) compared with using a video-only approach. We analyzed device failure scenarios and their implications for future wearable camera design and machine learning pipelines. Lastly, we provide guidance for future studies using low-cost RGB and IR sensors to validate human behavior with context.

Approximating Human-Level 3D Visual Inferences With Deep Neural Networks
Open Mind (Camb). 2025 Feb 16;9:305-324. doi: 10.1162/opmi_a_00189. eCollection 2025.
ABSTRACT
Humans make rich inferences about the geometry of the visual world. While deep neural networks (DNNs) achieve human-level performance on some psychophysical tasks (e.g., rapid classification of object or scene categories), they often fail in tasks requiring inferences about the underlying shape of objects or scenes. Here, we ask whether and how this gap in 3D shape representation between DNNs and humans can be closed. First, we define the problem space: after generating a stimulus set to evaluate 3D shape inferences using a match-to-sample task, we confirm that standard DNNs are unable to reach human performance. Next, we construct a set of candidate 3D-aware DNNs including 3D neural field (Light Field Network), autoencoder, and convolutional architectures. We investigate the role of the learning objective and dataset by training single-view (the model only sees one viewpoint of an object per training trial) and multi-view (the model is trained to associate multiple viewpoints of each object per training trial) versions of each architecture. When the same object categories appear in the model training and match-to-sample test sets, multi-view DNNs approach human-level performance for 3D shape matching, highlighting the importance of a learning objective that enforces a common representation across viewpoints of the same object. Furthermore, the 3D Light Field Network was the model most similar to humans across all tests, suggesting that building in 3D inductive biases increases human-model alignment. Finally, we explore the generalization performance of multi-view DNNs to out-of-distribution object categories not seen during training. Overall, our work shows that multi-view learning objectives for DNNs are necessary but not sufficient to make similar 3D shape inferences as humans and reveals limitations in capturing human-like shape inferences that may be inherent to DNN modeling approaches. We provide a methodology for understanding human 3D shape perception within a deep learning framework and highlight out-of-domain generalization as the next challenge for learning human-like 3D representations with DNNs.

MAEMC-NET: a hybrid self-supervised learning method for predicting the malignancy of solitary pulmonary nodules from CT images
Front Med (Lausanne). 2025 Feb 12;12:1507258. doi: 10.3389/fmed.2025.1507258. eCollection 2025.
ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: Pulmonary granulomatous nodules (PGN) often exhibit similar CT morphological features to solid lung adenocarcinomas (SLA), making preoperative differentiation challenging. This study aims to address this diagnostic challenge by developing a novel deep learning model.
METHODS: This study proposes MAEMC-NET, a model integrating generative (Masked AutoEncoder) and contrastive (Momentum Contrast) self-supervised learning to learn CT image representations of intra- and inter-solitary nodules. A generative self-supervised task of reconstructing masked axial CT patches containing lesions was designed to learn intra- and inter-slice image representations. Contrastive momentum is used to link the encoder in axial-CT-patch path with the momentum encoder in coronal-CT-patch path. A total of 494 patients from two centers were included.
RESULTS: MAEMC-NET achieved an area under curve (95% Confidence Interval) of 0.962 (0.934-0.973). These results not only significantly surpass the joint diagnosis by two experienced chest radiologists (77.3% accuracy) but also outperform the current state-of-the-art methods. The model performs best on medical images with a 50% mask ratio, showing a 1.4% increase in accuracy compared to the optimal 75% mask ratio on natural images.
DISCUSSION: The proposed MAEMC-NET effectively distinguishes between benign and malignant solitary pulmonary nodules and holds significant potential to assist radiologists in improving the diagnostic accuracy of PGN and SLA.

A Deep Learning Framework for End-to-End Control of Powered Prostheses
IEEE Robot Autom Lett. 2024 May;9(5):3988-3994. doi: 10.1109/lra.2024.3374189. Epub 2024 Mar 6.
ABSTRACT
Deep learning offers a potentially powerful alternative to hand-tuned control of active lower-limb prostheses, being capable of generating continuous joint-level assistance end-to-end. This eliminates the need for conventional task classification, state machines and mid-level control equations by collapsing the entire control problem into a deep neural network. In this letter, sensor data and conventional commanded torque from an open-source powered knee-ankle prosthesis (OSL) were collected across five locomotion modes: level ground, ramp incline/decline and stair ascent/descent. Reference commanded torques were generated using an expert-tuned finite state machine-based impedance controller for each mode and transfemoral amputee participant (N = 12). Stance phases of the output were then estimated using a temporal convolutional network (TCN), which produced mode- and user-independent knee and ankle torques with RMSE of 0.154 ± 0.06 and 0.106 ± 0.06 Nm/kg, respectively. Training the model on mode-specific data only produced significant reductions in stair descent, lowering knee and ankle RMSE by 0.06 ± 0.028 and 0.033 ± 0.008 Nm/kg respectively (p < 0.05). In addition, the TCN adapted to walking speed and slope shifts in reference commanded torque. These results demonstrate that this deep learning model not only removes the need for heuristic state machines and mode classification but can also reduce or remove the need for prosthesis assistance tuning entirely.

Microb Cell. 2025 Feb 20;12:1-8. doi: 10.15698/mic2025.02.841. eCollection 2025.
ABSTRACT
Molecular de-extinction has emerged as a novel strategy for studying biological molecules throughout evolutionary history. Among the myriad possibilities offered by ancient genomes and proteomes, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) stand out as particularly promising alternatives to traditional antibiotics. Various strategies, including software tools and advanced deep learning models, have been used to mine these host defense peptides. For example, computational analysis of disulfide bond patterns has led to the identification of six previously uncharacterized β-defensins in extinct and critically endangered species. Additionally, artificial intelligence and machine learning have been utilized to uncover ancient antibiotics, revealing numerous candidates, including mammuthusin, and elephasin, which display inhibitory effects toward pathogens in vitro and in vivo. These innovations promise to discover novel antibiotics and deepen our insight into evolutionary processes.

Unifying fragmented perspectives with additive deep learning for high-dimensional models from partial faceted datasets
NPJ Biol Phys Mech. 2025;2(1):5. doi: 10.1038/s44341-025-00009-3. Epub 2025 Feb 24.
ABSTRACT
Biological systems are complex networks where measurable functions emerge from interactions among thousands of components. Many studies aim to link biological function with molecular elements, yet quantifying their contributions simultaneously remains challenging, especially at the single-cell level. We propose a machine-learning approach that integrates faceted data subsets to reconstruct a complete view of the system using conditional distributions. We develop both polynomial regression and neural network models, validated with two examples: a mechanical spring network under external forces and an 8-dimensional biological network involving the senescence marker P53, using single-cell data. Our results demonstrate successful system reconstruction from partial datasets, with predictive accuracy improving as more variables are measured. This approach offers a systematic method to integrate fragmented experimental data, enabling unbiased and holistic modeling of complex biological functions.

J Cheminform. 2025 Feb 26;17(1):24. doi: 10.1186/s13321-025-00960-2.
ABSTRACT
In this study, we propose a neural network- based approach to analyze IR spectra and detect the presence of functional groups. Our neural network architecture is based on the concept of learning split representations. We demonstrate that our method achieves favorable validation performance using the NIST dataset. Furthermore, by incorporating additional data from the open-access research data repository Chemotion, we show that our model improves the classification performance for nitriles and amides. Scientific contribution: Our method exclusively uses IR data as input for a neural network, making its performance, unlike other well-performing models, independent of additional data types obtained from analytical measurements. Furthermore, our proposed method leverages a deep learning model that outperforms previous approaches, achieving F1 scores above 0.7 to identify 17 functional groups. By incorporating real-world data from various laboratories, we demonstrate how open-access, specialized research data repositories can serve as yet unexplored, valuable benchmark datasets for future machine learning research.

CSEPC: a deep learning framework for classifying small-sample multimodal medical image data in Alzheimer's disease
BMC Geriatr. 2025 Feb 26;25(1):130. doi: 10.1186/s12877-025-05771-6.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that significantly impacts health care worldwide, particularly among the elderly population. The accurate classification of AD stages is essential for slowing disease progression and guiding effective interventions. However, limited sample sizes continue to present a significant challenge in classifying the stages of AD progression. Addressing this obstacle is crucial for improving diagnostic accuracy and optimizing treatment strategies for those affected by AD.
METHODS: In this study, we proposed cross-scale equilibrium pyramid coupling (CSEPC), which is a novel diagnostic algorithm designed for small-sample multimodal medical imaging data. CSEPC leverages scale equilibrium theory and modal coupling properties to integrate semantic features from different imaging modalities and across multiple scales within each modality. The architecture first extracts balanced multiscale features from structural MRI (sMRI) data and functional MRI (fMRI) data using a cross-scale pyramid module. These features are then combined through a contrastive learning-based cosine similarity coupling mechanism to capture intermodality associations effectively. This approach enhances the representation of both inter- and intramodal features while significantly reducing the number of learning parameters, making it highly suitable for small sample environments. We validated the effectiveness of the CSEPC model through experiments on the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) dataset and demonstrated its superior performance in diagnosing and staging AD.
RESULTS: Our experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model matches or exceeds the performance of models used in previous studies in AD classification. Specifically, the model achieved an accuracy of 85.67% and an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.98 in classifying the progression from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to AD. To further validate its effectiveness, we used our method to diagnose different stages of AD. In both classification tasks, our approach delivered superior performance.
CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, the performance of our model in various tasks has demonstrated its significant potential in the field of small-sample multimodal medical imaging classification, particularly AD classification. This advancement could significantly assist clinicians in effectively managing and intervening in the disease progression of patients with early-stage AD.

BMC Med Imaging. 2025 Feb 26;25(1):66. doi: 10.1186/s12880-025-01606-3.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: This study employed a convolutional neural network (CNN) to analyze computed tomography (CT) scans with the aim of differentiating among renal tumors according to histologic sub-type.
METHODS: Contrast-enhanced CT images were collected from patients with renal tumors. The patient cohort was randomly split to create a training dataset (90%) and a testing dataset (10%). Following image dataset augmentation, Inception V3 and Resnet50 models were used to differentiate between renal tumors subtypes, including angiomyolipoma (AML), oncocytoma, clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (chRCC), and papillary renal cell carcinoma (pRCC). 5-fold cross validation was then used to evaluate the models in terms of classification performance.
RESULTS: The study cohort comprised 554 patients, including those with angiomyolipoma (n = 67), oncocytoma (n = 34), clear cell renal cell carcinoma (n = 246), chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (n = 124), and papillary renal cell carcinoma (n = 83). Dataset augmentation of the training dataset included this to 4238 CT images for analysis. The accuracy of the models was as follows: Inception V3 (0.830) and Resnet 50 (0.849).
CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated the efficacy of using deep learning models for the classification of renal tumor subtypes from contrast-enhanced CT images. While the models showed promising accuracy, further development is necessary to improve their clinical applicability.

Improved sand cat swarm optimization algorithm assisted GraphSAGE-GRU for remaining useful life of engine
Sci Rep. 2025 Feb 26;15(1):6935. doi: 10.1038/s41598-025-91418-w.
ABSTRACT
With the development of deep learning, the potential for its use in remaining useful life (RUL) has substantially increased in recent years due to the powerful data processing capabilities. However, the relationships and interdependencies of operation parameters in non-Euclidean space are ignored utilizing the current deep learning-based methods during the degradation process for engine. To address this challenge, an improved sand cat swarm optimization-assisted Graph SAmple and aggregate and gate recurrent unit (ISCSO-GraphSage-GRU) is proposed to achieve RUL prediction in this work. Firstly, the maximum information coefficient (MIC) is utilized for describing the interdependent relations of measured parameters. Building on this foundation, the constructed graph data is used as input to GraphSage-GRU so as to overcoming the shortcomings of existing deep learning methods. Additionally, this work proposed an improved sand cat swarm optimization (ISCSO) to improve the predicted performance of GraphSage-GRU, including tent mapping in population initialization and a novel adaptive approach enhance the exploration and exploitation of sand cat swarm optimization. The CMAPSS dataset is used to validate the effectiveness and advancedness of ISCSO-GraphSage-GRU, and the experimental results show that the R2 of the ISCSO-GraphSage-GRU is greater than 0.99, RMSE is less than 6.

Supervised and unsupervised deep learning-based approaches for studying DNA replication spatiotemporal dynamics
Commun Biol. 2025 Feb 26;8(1):311. doi: 10.1038/s42003-025-07744-2.
ABSTRACT
In eukaryotic cells, DNA replication is organised both spatially and temporally, as evidenced by the stage-specific spatial distribution of replication foci in the nucleus. Despite the genetic association of aberrant DNA replication with numerous human diseases, the labour-intensive methods employed to study DNA replication have hindered large-scale analyses of its roles in pathological processes. In this study, we employ two distinct methodologies. We first apply supervised machine learning, successfully classifying S-phase patterns in wild-type mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), while additionally identifying altered replication dynamics in Rif1-deficient mESCs. Given the constraints imposed by a classification-based approach, we then develop an unsupervised method for large-scale detection of aberrant S-phase cells. Such a method, which does not aim to classify patterns based on pre-defined categories but rather detects differences autonomously, closely recapitulates expected differences across genotypes. We therefore extend our approach to a well-characterised cellular model of inducible deregulated origin firing, involving cyclin E overexpression. Through parallel EdU- and PCNA-based analyses, we demonstrate the potential applicability of our method to patient samples, offering a means to identify the contribution of deregulated DNA replication to a plethora of pathogenic processes.

DeepCristae, a CNN for the restoration of mitochondria cristae in live microscopy images
Commun Biol. 2025 Feb 26;8(1):320. doi: 10.1038/s42003-025-07684-x.
ABSTRACT
Mitochondria play an essential role in the life cycle of eukaryotic cells. However, we still don't know how their ultrastructure, like the cristae of the inner membrane, dynamically evolves to regulate these fundamental functions, in response to external conditions or during interaction with other cell components. Although high-resolution fluorescent microscopy coupled with recently developed innovative probes can reveal this structural organization, their long-term, fast and live 3D imaging remains challenging. To address this problem, we have developed a CNN, called DeepCristae, to restore mitochondria cristae in low spatial resolution microscopy images. Our network is trained from 2D STED images using a novel loss specifically designed for cristae restoration. To efficiently increase the size of the training set, we also developed a random image patch sampling centered on mitochondrial areas. To evaluate DeepCristae, quantitative assessments are carried out using metrics we derived by focusing on the mitochondria and cristae pixels rather than on the whole image as usual. Depending on the conditions of use indicated, DeepCristae works well on broad microscopy modalities (Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED), Live-SR, AiryScan and LLSM). It is ultimately applied in the context of mitochondrial network dynamics during interaction with endo/lysosome membranes.

Early attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) with NeuroDCT-ICA and rhinofish optimization (RFO) algorithm based optimized ADHD-AttentionNet
Sci Rep. 2025 Feb 26;15(1):6967. doi: 10.1038/s41598-025-90649-1.
ABSTRACT
The ADHD detector analyzes behavioral, cognitive, or physiological data (e.g., EEG, eye-tracking, or surveys) to identify patterns associated with ADHD symptoms. This work offers a more sophisticated method of detecting ADHD by overcoming the main drawbacks of existing approaches in terms of data processing, detection accuracy, and computational time. The work is inspired by the fact that Deep Learning (DL) frameworks could transform the existing detection systems of ADHD. In the proposed framework, there is a new NeuroDCT-ICA module for the preprocessing of raw EEG data, which guarantees the elimination of noise and extraction of informative features. Moreover, the method introduces a novel RhinoFish Optimization (RFO) algorithm for selecting optimal features, which enhance the data processing capacity and the stability of the system. As a core of the approach, there is the ADHD-AttentionNet - the deep learning-based model aimed at improving the accuracy and confidence of ADHD identification. The model is validated with the standard metrics, and the performance of the model is outstanding as it has high accuracy of 98.52%, F-score of 98.26% and specificity of 98.16%. These outcomes show that the proposed model yields better accuracy in detecting ADHD related patterns.

Early prediction of CKD from time series data using adaptive PSO optimized echo state networks
Sci Rep. 2025 Feb 26;15(1):6966. doi: 10.1038/s41598-025-91028-6.
ABSTRACT
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a significant problem in today's healthcare since it is challenging to detect until it has improved significantly, which increases medical expenses. If CKD was detected early, the patient might qualify for more effective treatment and prevent the disease from spreading further. Presently, existing methods that effectively detect CKD cannot detect symptoms early on. This problem motivates researchers to work on a predictive model that successfully detects disease symptoms in the early stages. This study introduces a novel Adaptive Particle Swarm Optimization (APSO)-optimized Echo State Network (ESN) model designed to overcome key limitations of existing methods. ESNs, while effective in processing temporal sequences, are highly sensitive to hyperparameter settings such as spectral radius, input scaling, and sparsity, which directly impact stability, memory retention, and predictive Classification Accuracy (CA). To address this, APSO optimizes these hyperparameters dynamically, ensuring a balanced trade-off between stability and computational efficiency. Moreover, Random Matrix Theory (RMT) is integrated into APSO to regulate the spectral radius, enhancing the ESN's capability to handle long-term dependencies while maintaining stability in training. This investigation exploited the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-III (MIMIC-III) dataset to train the model they developed. The proposed method employs this data collection to analyze the highly complex temporal sequences signifying CKD is present. The hyperparameters of the ESN, such as the range of the spectral region and the input data sizing, can be optimized in real-time with APSO by applying Random Matrix Theory (RMT). Compared with different recognized models, such as conventional ESN and standard M, the recommended APSO + ESN proved to have higher CA in medical investigations. The APSO + ESN improved the subsequent highest-performing model by 2% in recall and 3% in precision and attained a CA of 99.6%.
