Hierarchical Superposition Framework Reveals the Complex Effects of Natural Medicine Formulas
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A novel hierarchical superposition pharmacological model incorporates the principle of hierarchical structures from physics to simulate the spatiotemporal dynamics of drug combinations, to elucidate the universal law underlying drug combination effects. By modeling cross‐level causal transmission and attenuation, it advances beyond traditional additive

Gut Microbiome Pilot Study of Patients With CHARGE Syndrome and Sibling Controls
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Difficulties with feeding and digestion are common in individuals with CHARGE syndrome. Animal models with CHD7 gene variants demonstrate abnormal gut innovation and dysmotility. Our pilot study evaluated whether individuals with CHARGE syndrome have differences in their gut microbiome compared to unaffected siblings.
