Can Chemoradiotherapy Expand Immune Checkpoint Blockade Responsiveness in Mismatch Repair‐Proficient Rectal Cancer?

open access: yesAnnals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has transformed the treatment of mismatch repair‐deficient (dMMR) colorectal cancer but produces no meaningful benefit in advanced mismatch repair‐proficient (pMMR) disease. In the neoadjuvant setting, however, pathological responses have been reported in a subset of pMMR tumors, suggesting that clinical ...

Graph Neural Network‐Based Reinforcement Learning for Decentralized Multi‐Robot Manipulation

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Robot arms lifting a large object face a trade‐off: centralized controllers explode in parameters, while decentralized ones cannot coordinate. A GNN resolves this—each arm runs its own network but acts on the full team state, achieving centralized‐level coordination with decentralized execution. Trained across team sizes, a single policy scales to four‐
