The tremendous boost in the next generation sequencing and in the omics technologies makes it possible to characterize human gut microbiome (the collective genomes of the microbial community that reside in our gastrointestinal tract). While…
Introduction: Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, both under the umbrella of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), involve many distinct molecular processes. The difference in their molecular processes is studied by using the different…
The gut microbiome, crucial for human health, presents challenges in analyzing its complex metaomic data due to high dimensionality and sparsity. Traditional methods struggle to capture its intricate relationships. We investigate graph…
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), including Crohn's Disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC), presents significant public health challenges due to its complex etiology. Motivated by the IBD study of the Integrative Human Microbiome Project,…
Crohn's disease, one of two inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), affects 200,000 people in the UK alone, or roughly one in every 500. We explore the feasibility of deep learning algorithms for identification of terminal ileal Crohn's disease…
Crohn's Disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC) are the two main Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) types. We developed deep learning models to identify histological disease features for both CD and UC using only endoscopic labels. We…
Differentiating between the two main subtypes of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): Crohns disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) is a persistent clinical challenge due to overlapping presentations. This study introduces a novel…
The intricate interplay between host organisms and their gut microbiota has catalyzed research into the microbiome's role in disease, shedding light on novel aspects of disease pathogenesis. However, the mechanisms through which the…
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) involves chronic inflammation of the digestive tract, with treatment options often burdened by adverse effects. Identifying biomarkers for personalized treatment is crucial. While immune cells play a key…
Periodontitis and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) are chronic inflammatory conditions, characterized by microbial dysbiosis and hyper-immunoinflammatory responses. Growing evidence suggest an interconnection between periodontitis and IBD,…
International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is a globally recognized coding system that records diagnostic events during each patient encounter, providing a standardized data foundation for various clinical tasks. However, the irregular…
Crohn's disease (CD) is associated with an ecological imbalance of the intestinal microbiota, consisting of hundreds of species. The underlying complexity as well as individual differences between patients contributes to the difficulty to…
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is one of the most common forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) characterized by inflammation of the mucosal layer of the colon. Diagnosis of UC is based on clinical symptoms, and then confirmed based on…
Microbiome studies increasingly indicate that disease-associated shifts cannot be understood from compositional changes alone. The functional architecture of microbial communities encoded in patterns of association among microbial gene…
High-throughput sequencing technology provides unprecedented opportunities to quantitatively explore human gut microbiome and its relation to diseases. Microbiome data are compositional, sparse, noisy, and heterogeneous, which pose serious…
Motivated by regression analysis for microbiome compositional data, this paper considers generalized linear regression analysis with compositional covariates, where a group of linear constraints on regression coefficients are imposed to…
A system-level framework of complex microbe-microbe and host-microbe chemical cross-talk would help elucidate the role of our gut microbiota in health and disease. Here we report a literature-curated interspecies network of the human gut…
Gastrointestinal diseases pose significant healthcare chall-enges as they manifest in diverse ways and can lead to potential complications. Ensuring precise and timely classification of these diseases is pivotal in guiding treatment choices…
The abundance of intestinal flora is closely related to human diseases, but diseases are not caused by a single gut microbe. Instead, they result from the complex interplay of numerous microbial entities. This intricate and implicit…
Microbes can affect processes from food production to human health. Such microbes are not isolated, but rather interact with each other and establish connections with their living environments. Understanding these interactions is essential…
