Quasi-dynamic reconstruction of directed physiological networks from cross-sectional data using idopNetwork and path homology.

BACKGROUND Excessive adiposity drives cardiometabolic morbidity through macroscopic systemic mechanisms rather than isolated metabolic defects. While conventional statistical models effectively estimate marginal biomarker associations, they cannot resolve the directed and cyclic regulatory dependencies underlying this...

A novel multivariate framework for functional gene networks enrichment analysis

Gene network analysis is critically implicated in disease research for uncovering functional modules and interaction-driven pathways underlying biological and disease processes. However, the interpretation of large inferred networks remains challenging. Although functional gene network analysis allows the interpretatio...

Persistent homology broadens the controllable subspace in human structural connectomes

This work introduces an alternative criterion based on the persistent topological cycles in which each node participates---a measure of mesoscale integration that captures features beyond local connectivity---and demonstrates that persistent topology captures information about brain network control that scalar energy s...

engGNN: A Dual-Graph Neural Network for Omics-Based Disease Classification and Feature Selection

Omics data, such as transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, provide critical insights into disease mechanisms and clinical outcomes. However, their high dimensionality, small sample sizes, and intricate biological networks pose major challenges for reliable prediction and meaningful interpretation. Graph Neural...

Inferring disruption of directed graphs using LIKA reveals altered protein phosphorylation networks in schizophrenia

Motivation Kinases regulate a multitude of protein functions, and their dysregulation is pivotal for many human diseases. Direct measurement of kinase activity, however, is often challenging; therefore, inferring activity from the behavior of their substrates is a widely adopted strategy. Nonetheless, traditional metho...

Disrupted Functional Network Organization in Crohn's Disease: Interoceptive Alterations Linked to Anxiety

ABSTRACT Background and Aims How Crohn's disease alters large‐scale brain network organization and interacts with affective symptoms remains poorly understood. We aimed to characterize disease‐related disruptions in functional topology, rich‐club organization, and hierarchical gradients, and to determine their associat...
