GANet-Seg: Adversarial Learning for Brain Tumor Segmentation with Hybrid Generative Models
This work introduces a novel framework for brain tumor segmentation leveraging pre-trained GANs and Unet architectures. By combining a global anomaly detection module with a refined mask generation network, the proposed model accurately identifies tumor-sensitive regions and iteratively enhances segmentation precision using adversarial loss constraints. Multi-modal MRI data and synthetic image augmentation are employed to improve robustness and address the challenge of limited annotated dataset…

Hybrid Machine Learning and Mathematical Modeling for Tumor Dynamics Prediction: Comparing SPIONs against mNP-FDG
This is a Machine Learning guided study towards zone-specific ray therapy. Combining Machine Learning (Extreme Gradient Boosting) with continuum modeling (exponential and logistic growth), we find that while fluorodeoxyglucose-coated (mNP-FDG) can control cancerous tumor progression within 2 days compared to 18 days by Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (SPIONs), for complete termination of the tumor, SPIONS (20 days) are superior compared to mNP-FDG (more than 40 days). We also provide…

TumorHoPe2: An updated database for Tumor Homing Peptides
Addressing the growing need for organized data on tumor homing peptides (THPs), we present TumorHoPe2, a manually curated database offering extensive details on experimentally validated THPs. This represents a significant update to TumorHoPe, originally developed by our group in 2012. TumorHoPe2 now contains 1847 entries, representing 1297 unique tumor homing peptides, a substantial expansion from the 744 entries in its predecessor. For each peptide, the database provides critical information, …

Microtubule polymerization generates microtentacles important in circulating tumor cell invasion
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have crucial roles in the spread of tumors during metastasis. A decisive step is the extravasation of CTCs from the blood stream or lymph system, which depends on the ability of cells to attach to vessel walls. Recent work suggests that such adhesion is facilitated by microtubule (MT)-based membrane protrusions called microtentacles (McTNs). However, how McTNs facilitate such adhesion and how MTs can generate protrusions in CTCs remain unclear. By combining fluore…

'What if the next president issues an executive order: we're collecting all the guns. We're collecting them all tomorrow, we're going house to house, and we interpret the Constitution. The 2nd Amend. is saying, well, we're only talking about militia. And that's, oh, I don't know, the National Guard. Therefore, your AR-15 is now going to be collected by our authorities.'

A Novel Framework for Integrating 3D Ultrasound into Percutaneous Liver Tumour Ablation
3D ultrasound (US) imaging has shown significant benefits in enhancing the outcomes of percutaneous liver tumour ablation. Its clinical integration is crucial for transitioning 3D US into the therapeutic domain. However, challenges of tumour identification in US images continue to hinder its broader adoption. In this work, we propose a novel framework for integrating 3D US into the standard ablation workflow. We present a key component, a clinically viable 2D US-CT/MRI registration approach, le…
