Due to the lack of automated and noninvasive diagnostic tools, healthcare professionals look forward toward biopsy as a gold standard for diagnosis. However, biopsy could be traumatizing and expensive process. Additionally, the limited availability of dataset and inaccuracy in diagnosis is a major drawback experienced by researchers. The objective of the proposed research is to develop an automated diagnostic tool for screening of lung cancer using optimized hyperparameters such that convolutional neural network (CNN) model generalizes well for universally obtained computerized tomography (CT) slices of lung pathologies. The aforementioned objective is achieved in the following ways: (i) Initially, a preprocessing methodology specific to lung CT scans is formulated to avoid the loss of information due to random image smoothing, and (ii) a sine cosine algorithm optimization algorithm (SCA) is integrated in the CNN model, to optimally select the tuning parameters of CNN. The error rate is used as an objective function, and the SCA algorithm tries to minimize. The proposed method successfully achieved an average classification accuracy of 99% in classification of lung scans in normal, benign, and malignant classes. Further, the generalization ability of the proposed model is tested on unseen dataset, thereby achieving promising results. The quantitative results prove the efficacy of the system to be used by radiologists in a clinical scenario.</p>","PeriodicalId":46288,"journal":{"name":"APL Bioengineering","volume":"8 2","pages":"026121"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11168751/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141311972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While targeting pro-angiogenic growth factors has been a significant focus for treating tumor angiogenesis, recent studies indicate that metabolism also plays a role in regulating endothelial cell behavior. Like cancer cells, tumor endothelial cells undergo metabolic changes that regulate rearrangement for tip cell position during angiogenesis. Our previous studies have shown that altered mechanical properties of the collagen matrix regulate angiogenesis and can promote a tumor vasculature phenotype. Here, we examine the effect of collagen density on endothelial cell tip-stalk cell rearrangement and cellular energetics during angiogenic sprouting. We find that increased collagen density leads to an elevated energy state and an increased rate of tip-stalk cell switching, which is correlated with the energy state of the cells. Tip cells exhibit higher glucose uptake than stalk cells, and inhibition of glucose uptake revealed that invading sprouts rely on glucose to meet elevated energy requirements for invasion in dense matrices. This work helps to elucidate the complex interplay between the mechanical microenvironment and the endothelial cell metabolic status during angiogenesis, which could have important implications for developing new anti-cancer therapies.</p>","PeriodicalId":46288,"journal":{"name":"APL Bioengineering","volume":"8 2","pages":"026120"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11170328/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141318492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among these factors, cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) command attention for their profound influence on tumor behavior and patient prognoses. Despite their recognized importance, the biophysical and mechanical interactions of CAFs within the TME remain elusive. This review examines the distinctive physical characteristics of CAFs, their morphological attributes, and mechanical interactions within the TME.

Changes in these physical characteristics such as tension, stiffness, viscosity, compression, and fluid shear can generate biomechanical cues that affect cancer cells, dynamically influencing numerous pathophysiological mechanisms. For example, a dense extracellular matrix drives cancer cells to reorganize their cytoskeleton structures, facilitating confined migration, while this dense and restricted space also acts as a physical barrier that potentially results in nuclear rupture. Identifying these pathophysiological processes and understanding their underlying mechanobiological mechanisms can aid in the development of more effective therapeutics targeted to cancer metastasis. In this review, we outline the advances of engineering microfluidic devices <i>in vitro</i> and their role in replicating tumor microenvironment to mimic <i>in vivo</i> settings. We highlight the potential cellular mechanisms that mediate their ability to adapt to different microenvironments. Meanwhile, we also discuss some important mechanical cues that still remain challenging to replicate in current microfluidic devices in future direction.

Many of the previous studies predominantly attribute the inhibitory effects of TTFields to mitotic disruption, with intracellular microtubules identified as crucial targets. However, this conceptual framework lacks substantiation at the mesoscopic level. This study addresses the existing gap by constructing force models for tubulin and other key subcellular structures involved in microtubule electrophysiological activities under TTFields exposure. The primary objective is to explore whether the electric force or torque exerted by TTFields significantly influences the normal structure and activities of microtubules. Initially, we examine the potential effect on the dynamic stability of microtubule structures by calculating the electric field torque on the tubulin dimer orientation. Furthermore, given the importance of electrostatics in microtubule-associated activities, such as chromosome segregation and substance transport of kinesin during mitosis, we investigate the interaction between TTFields and these electrostatic processes. Our data show that the electrodynamic effects of TTFields are most likely too weak to disrupt normal microtubule electrophysiological activities significantly.
