Programmed cell death in the cognitive impairment of obstructive sleep apnea20-06-2025Cognitive impairment (CI) is a significant and extraordinary complication of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients. Programmed cell death (PCD) is an active and ordered process regulated by genes. A growing number of studies find that PCD is responsible for cognitive dysfunction and plays an important role in various neurological diseases, which involve apoptosis, necroptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, and cell death associated with autophagy. However, the influence of PCD on OSA-CI remains...
A deep generative model for deciphering cellular dynamics and in silico drug discovery in complex diseases20-06-2025Human diseases are characterized by intricate cellular dynamics. Single-cell transcriptomics provides critical insights, yet a persistent gap remains in computational tools for detailed disease progression analysis and targeted in silico drug interventions. Here we introduce UNAGI, a deep generative neural network tailored to analyse time-series single-cell transcriptomic data. This tool captures the complex cellular dynamics underlying disease progression, enhancing drug perturbation modelling...
