Tandem mass spectrum prediction for small molecules using graph transformers

This is a paper about MassFormer, a graph transformer model for small molecule mass spectrometry prediction. This research addresses the problem of molecular identification in mass spectrometry data and proposes a novel deep learning approach to predict mass spectra of small molecules. Background: Mass spectrometry (MS) is an analytical technique w...

Targeted Activation of Ferroptosis in Colorectal Cancer via LGR4 Targeting Overcomes Acquired Drug Resistance

Overcoming Acquired Resistance in Colorectal Cancer by Targeting LGR4 Research Background: Acquired drug resistance is a major obstacle in cancer treatment and a leading cause of cancer-related deaths. However, the mechanisms of resistance are diverse, and how to specifically target resistant cancer cells remains a significant clinical challenge. A...
