Gut microbes as cancer drivers: New multi‑omics review unmasks their hidden role in colorectal cancer
China Anti-Cancer Association
The gut microbiome is not a mere spectator but an active player in colorectal cancer (CRC), driving tumor initiation and progression through direct bacterial attacks, metabolite signals, and genetic manipulation.

Immune webs shape reperfusion injury
Burns & Trauma
Restoring blood flow can save tissue after heart attack, stroke, transplantation, and severe injury, but it can also trigger a damaging second wave.

Computational pipeline boosts broad-spectrum Ebola antibody optimization
Research
A team led by Professor Wei Yang at the National Institute of Pathogen Biology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College, has developed a computational-experimental pipeline that synergistically optimizes antibody framework regions (FR) and complementarity-determining regions (CDR). Using this approach, they engineered two pan-Ebola antibodies with markedly improved neutralization breadth and potency. The study, titled “Computational Design of Broad-Spectrum Ebola Antibodies through Framework and Complementarity-Determining Regions Synergistic Optimization” is published in Research.

Weakly supervised teacher–student framework with progressive pseudo-mask refinement for gland segmentation
Xia & He Publishing Inc.
Colorectal cancer histopathological grading relies on the accurate segmentation of glandular structures. Current deep learning–based methods depend heavily on large-scale pixel-level annotations that are labor-intensive and not amenable to clinical practice. Weakly supervised semantic segmentation offers a promising alternative; yet, existing class activation map–based weakly supervised semantic segmentation approaches often produce incomplete, low-quality pseudo-masks that overemphasize discriminative regions and fail to provide reliable supervision for unannotated glandular structures, limiting their suitability for dense histopathology segmentation under sparse supervision. We propose a novel weakly supervised teacher–student framework that leverages sparse pathologists’ annotations and an Exponential Moving Average–stabilized teacher network to generate refined pseudo-masks.

Cardio-renal-neural phenotype shapes survival after liver transplant in ATTR amyloidosis
First Hospital of Jilin University
A global registry study of 1,762 patients with hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRv), led by Professor Henryk Wilczek and colleagues from Karolinska Institutet and published in eGastroenterology, shows that pre-transplant phenotype strongly influences long-term outcomes after liver transplantation. Cardiac involvement predicts significantly worse survival, while renal involvement alone does not. Median survival reached 20.4 years overall but dropped to 15.2 years in cardiac phenotypes. Early autonomic neuropathy progression may signal disease recurrence. These findings refine patient selection and provide a benchmark for evaluating modern disease-modifying therapies.

Plant peptides cross family lines to boost immunity
Nanjing Agricultural University The Academy of Science
Plants carry their own alarm system. When cells are damaged by pathogens, small signaling molecules can alert surrounding tissues and switch on immune defenses. A new study shows that two pear-derived plant elicitor peptides (Peps), PbePep4 and PdrPep6, can strengthen resista
