Malignant mesothelioma is a rare tumour caused by asbestos exposure that originates mainly from the pleural lining or the peritoneum. Treatment options are limited, and the prognosis is dismal. Although immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) can improve survival outcomes, the determinants of responsiveness remain elusive. Here, we report the outcomes of a multi-centre phase II clinical… →
HSD3B1 encodes 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase-1, which converts adrenal dehydroepiandrosterone to 5α-dihydrotestosterone and is inherited in adrenal-permissive (AP) or adrenal-restrictive forms. The AP allele is linked to castration resistance, mainly in low-volume tumors. Here, we investigate the association of HSD3B1 alleles with outcomes in ARCHES, a multinational, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled phase 3 trial that demonstrated clinical benefit… →
Recommender systems have gained prominence across various applications, with deep neural network-based algorithms showing impressive capabilities. Large language models (LLMs) have recently demonstrated proficiency in multiple tasks, prompting researchers to explore their potential in recommendation systems. However, two main challenges hinder LLM adoption: high computational requirements and neglect of collaborative signals. Recent studies have focused… →
One of the biggest challenges when developing deep learning models is ensuring they run efficiently across different hardware. Most frameworks that handle this well are complex and difficult to extend, especially when supporting new types of accelerators like GPUs or specialized chips. This complexity can make it hard for developers to experiment with new hardware,… →
Personalized image generation is gaining traction due to its potential in various applications, from social media to virtual reality. However, traditional methods often require extensive tuning for each user, limiting efficiency and scalability. Imagine Yourself, an innovative model that overcomes these limitations by eliminating the need for user-specific fine-tuning, enabling a single model to cater… →
Large Language Models (LLMs) have advanced rapidly, becoming powerful tools for complex planning and cognitive tasks. This progress has spurred the development of LLM-powered multi-agent systems (LLM-MA systems), which aim to simulate and solve real-world problems through coordinated agent cooperation. These systems can be applied to various scenarios, from software development simulations to analyzing social… →
