MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective single-center study used clinical PET/CT imaging data obtained from the institutional clinical data warehouse. We identified patients who underwent routine [18F]FDG PET/CT for lung cancer staging in 2018 and extracted a cohort of 170 cases for pilot evaluation of the proposed workflow-based approach. In addition, publicly available PET datasets from The Cancer Imaging Archive (16) were used for application tests.

Abstract Spatial characterization of microbial-like signals in tumor tissues remains challenging, particularly in direct Visium data, where microbial reads are sparse and may not be fully retained in standard count matrices.

Abstract The crosstalk between immune or alveolar epithelial cells and fibroblasts mediated by paracrine signaling molecules is associated with the pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). However, studies investigating the active involvement of soluble mediators derived from bronchial epithelial cells in fibroblast activation and the development of pulmonary fibrosis are limited.
