However, current recurrence prediction models are limited by their reliance on single-modality data or fusion techniques that are insufficient for addressing the challenges of modality heterogeneity and structural imbalance. In this study, we propose an end-to-end multimodal deep learning framework that integrates preoperative CT imaging and clinicopathological variables through a dimensionality transformation module to improve two-year recurrence prediction in NSCLC patients. We retrospectively analyzed 166 NSCLC patients who underwent curative surgical resection between January 2017 and December 2020. We developed IC-TCA-Net (Integrated Clinical data with Tumor-Centric Attention Network), a novel multimodal fusion framework that combines preoperative CT images and clinicopathological variables. The model employs modality-specific subnetworks: a dual-branch ResNet-18 with tumor-centric attention modules for CT images, and a feature selection for clinicopathological variables using univariate and multivariate analyses. To address dimensional disparity between high-dimensional imaging features and low-dimensional clinical vectors, we designed a dimensionality transformation module consisting of condensation and expansion layers. Model performance was evaluated using five-fold cross-validation. IC-TCA-Net achieved superior performance with an accuracy of 87.93 ± 3.77%, sensitivity of 82.09 ± 4.03%, specificity of 91.89 ± 7.62%, and an AUROC of 0.87 ± 0.05. Compared to the image-only TCA-Net and multimodal fusion baseline, the IC-TCA-Net showed statistically significant improvements in accuracy and specificity (paired t-test, <i>p</i> < 0.05). Ablation analysis demonstrated that the incorporation of the dimensionality transformation module yielded substantial performance gains, significantly improving accuracy (<i>p</i> = 0.002) and AUROC (<i>p</i> = 0.010), highlighting its critical role in effective multimodal fusion. SHAP analysis quantitatively demonstrated that the dimensionality transformation module successfully mitigated modality imbalance, facilitating a synergistic contribution from both imaging and clinical data. Our findings demonstrate that addressing dimensional disparity between heterogeneous modalities is essential for mitigating modality imbalance and achieving genuine multimodal synergy. To overcome this challenge, IC-TCA-Net incorporates a dimensionality transformation module that enables effective fusion of clinical and imaging data. This approach achieves superior predictive performance for 2-year NSCLC recurrence while maintaining a parsimonious architecture suitable for real-world clinical applications.</p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at https://doi.","PeriodicalId":46898,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Engineering Letters","volume":"16 5","pages":"1299-1308"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13615253/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149064892","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we examined the mechanobiological remodeling of 3D cortical spheroids in response to DC electrical stimulation. Prolonged stimulation (60 min) produced a duration-dependent phenotypic shift marked by reduced collective spreading, elevated traction forces, and enhanced neurite outgrowth and complexity, along with increased expression of the plasticity-related immediate-early genes Arc and c-Fos. Higher traction was observed near the spheroid periphery, where IBA1-positive microglia were enriched, suggesting a possible role for microglia in restricting spheroid spreading. This response was accompanied by spatial reorganization of N-cadherin from a peripheral cohesive pattern to a dense, heterogeneous clustered distribution. Pharmacological inhibition of N-cadherin with ADH-1 reversed the migration arrest, supporting a functional role for N-cadherin-mediated adhesion in this phenotype. In parallel, integrin β1 and fibronectin were upregulated and spatially reorganized, indicating substantial remodeling of the adhesion- and ECM-related microenvironment. Together, these findings provide a mechanobiological framework for understanding how electrical stimulation reshapes tissue organization and plasticity-related responses in neural systems, and highlight 3D cortical spheroids as a useful platform for investigating stimulation-induced tissue remodeling.</p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at https://doi.org/10.1007/s13534-026-00586-9.</p>","PeriodicalId":46898,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical Engineering Letters","volume":"16 5","pages":"1273-1285"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13615234/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149064907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A comprehensive literature review was conducted focusing on OAM-based multimodal microscopy platforms integrated with ultrasound microscopy and optical techniques, including optical coherence tomography, fluorescence microscopy, multiphoton microscopy, light-sheet microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. Emerging strategies such as integration with quantitative phase imaging and advanced signal processing approaches, including the multiple signal classification algorithm, were also examined.

Multimodal OAM platforms demonstrated enhanced imaging performance by combining high optical contrast with improved penetration depth and functional sensitivity. These systems enabled detailed visualization of oxygenation, tumor angiogenesis, skin microarchitecture, retinal structures, and neuronal activity. Comparative analysis revealed trade-offs and synergies among modalities in terms of spatial resolution, penetration depth, frame rate, and field-of-view, highlighting the advantages of hybrid configurations over single-modality approaches.
