Delayformer: Spatiotemporal Transformation for Predicting High‐Dimensional Dynamics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Delayformer introduces a multivariate spatiotemporal transformation (mvSTI) that converts observed variables into delay‐embedded states and cross‐learns their dynamics using a shared Vision Transformer encoder. This approach, grounded in dynamical systems theory, simultaneously predicts all variables in high‐dimensional systems, outperforming state‐of ...

Investigation into the Pancreatic Pathogenesis of SFTSV across Multiple Levels

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A retrospective analysis revealed that 17.6% of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) patients met the diagnostic criteria for clinically confirmed pancreatitis. Using human pancreatic organoids and murine models demonstrated that SFTSV exhibits a specific pancreatic tropism, leading to cell death and initiating a strong inflammatory ...

Modelling the drivers of the spread of Plasmodium falciparum hrp2 gene deletions in sub-Saharan Africa

eLife, 2017
Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) have transformed malaria diagnosis. The most prevalent P. falciparum RDTs detect histidine-rich protein 2 (PfHRP2). However, pfhrp2 gene deletions yielding false-negative RDTs, first reported in South America in 2010, have ...
