Explainable multimodal deep learning for predicting thyroid cancer lateral lymph node metastasis using ultrasound imaging

Preoperative prediction of lateral lymph node metastasis (LLNM) is crucial for surgical planning and prognostic management in thyroid cancer. Here, the authors develop LLNM-Net, a deep learning model to predict LLNM in thyroid cancer from multimodal data—including preoperative ultrasound images and clinical reports—, with robust performance across large cohorts from multiple centres.

Long-range optical coupling with epsilon-near-zero materials

Long-range resonant quantum tunnelling of electrons happens across potential barriers when the wavefunction interferes constructively. Here, authors demonstrate an analogy in optical systems based on epsilon-near-zero materials, achieving long-range optical interactions beyond evanescent coupling.

Spin transport of a doped Mott insulator in moiré heterostructures

Moiré superlattices offer a tunable platform for studying charge and spin phenomena in correlated solid-state systems. Here, the authors explore spin transport in twisted WSe₂/WS₂ superlattices and find signatures of spin–charge transport decoupling.

Improving AI models for rare thyroid cancer subtype by text guided diffusion models

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly relevant to assist with oncology imaging, but diagnosing rare tumours remains challenging. Here, the authors develop an AI approach to detect rare thyroid cancer subtypes by integrating clinical knowledge with image generation based on ultrasound imaging data from large patient cohorts.

Multistep nucleation and growth mechanisms of organic crystals from amorphous solid states

Little attention has been paid to the fundamental mechanism of molecular self-assembly into crystallised films or wires on surfaces. Here the authors use real time in-situ scanning probe microscopy to monitor the growth trajectories of organic semiconducting films as they crystallize from an amorphous solid state under ambient conditions.

Generic synthesis of small-sized hollow mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles for oxygen-independent X-ray-activated synergistic therapy

A common failure of many cancer treatments is attributed to the resistance imparted by tumour hypoxia. Here, the authors report on the generic synthesis of small-sized hollow mesoporous organosilica nanoparticles which are designed for oxygen-independent X-ray-activated synergistic therapy.

Thermodynamic behavior of correlated electron-hole fluids in van der Waals heterostructures

Transition metal dichalcogenide bilayers offer a novel platform for studying correlated electron-hole fluids. Here the authors use optical spectroscopy to probe thermodynamic properties of coupled electron-hole states in MoSe₂/hBN/WSe₂ heterostructures, providing evidence for an excitonic insulator ground state.

Suppression of ACE2 SUMOylation protects against SARS-CoV-2 infection through TOLLIP-mediated selective autophagy

SARS- CoV-2 hijacks ACE2 for cell entry. Here, the authors report that dynamic SUMOylation modulates the TOLLIP-directed selective autophagic degradation of ACE2 and suggest SUMOylation inhibition as a potential intervention against SARS-CoV-2 infection.
