Advanced Science, EarlyView.Facet joint osteoarthritis (FJOA), prevalent in the elderly, involves Talin2 upregulation promoting ECM degradation while suppressing synthesis. Mechanical load stabilizes Talin2 via OTUB1‐mediated non‐canonical deubiquitination, driving CCL2 expression that recruits immune cells, exacerbating inflammatory joint degeneration.

CQ-VAE: Coordinate Quantized VAE for Uncertainty Estimation with Application to Disk Shape Analysis from Lumbar Spine MRI Images [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Ambiguity is inevitable in medical images, which often results in different image interpretations (e.g. object boundaries or segmentation maps) from different human experts. Thus, a model that learns the ambiguity and outputs a probability distribution of the target, would be valuable for medical applications to assess the uncertainty of diagnosis.

Machine-agnostic Automated Lumbar MRI Segmentation using a Cascaded Model Based on Generative Neurons [PDF]
Automated lumbar spine segmentation is very crucial for modern diagnosis systems. In this study, we introduce a novel machine-agnostic approach for segmenting lumbar vertebrae and intervertebral discs from MRI images, employing a cascaded model that synergizes an ROI detection and a Self-organized Operational Neural Network (Self-ONN)-based encoder ...

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.This study examined the effects of skeletal muscle mass on the short‐ and long‐term outcomes of rectal cancer. This study revealed that preoperative sarcopenia was associated with more total postoperative complications, more anastomotic leakage, and worse survival in rectal cancer patients.

Unique bone microanatomy reveals ancestry of subterranean specializations in mammals
Evolution Letters, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 552-561, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Acquiring a subterranean lifestyle entails a substantial shift for many aspects of terrestrial vertebrates’ biology. Although this lifestyle is associated with multiple instances of convergent evolution, the relative success of some subterranean lineages largely remains unexplained.
