Gene Duplication and Divergence02:37

Gene Duplication and Divergence

The seminal work of Ohno in 1970 popularized the idea of gene duplication and divergence. DNA sequence comparison studies reveal that a large portion of the genes in bacteria, archaebacteria, and eukaryotes was  generated by gene duplication and divergence, indicating its critical role in evolution.
The duplicated copies of the gene are called Paralogs. Paralogs with similar sequences and functions form a gene family. Across several species, a large number of gene families are characterized.
The Central Dogma01:20

The Central Dogma

The central dogma explains the flow of genetic information from DNA nucleotides to the amino acid sequence of proteins.
RNA is the Missing Link Between DNA and Proteins
In the early 1900s, scientists discovered that DNA stores all the information needed for cellular functions and that proteins perform most of these functions. However, the mechanisms of converting genetic information into functional proteins remained unknown for many years. Initially, it was believed that a single gene is...
Forced Transdifferentiation01:28

Forced Transdifferentiation

Transdifferentiation, also known as lineage reprogramming, was first discovered by Selman and Kafatos in 1974 in silkmoths. They observed that the moths’ cuticle-producing cells transformed into salt-producing cells. Many such cases of natural transdifferentiation occur in organisms. In humans, pancreatic alpha cells can become beta cells. In newts, the loss of the eye’s lens causes the pigmented epithelial cells to transdifferentiate into the lens cells.
Artificial transdifferentiation occurs...

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Medical Imaging
  • Artificial Intelligence

Background:

  • False lumen (FL) thrombosis is critical for aortic remodeling post-Frozen Elephant Trunk (FET) surgery.
  • Current imaging methods for FL thrombosis are limited to categorical assessments.
  • Automated, continuous quantification is needed for precise FL thrombosis evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate an unsupervised artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm based on a variational autoencoder (VAE).
  • To enable automated, continuous quantification of FL thrombosis using serial computed tomography angiography (CTA).
  • To assess patient-specific aortic remodeling trajectories after FET surgery.

Main Methods:

  • A VAE model was applied to CTA slices from 30 patients post-FET surgery.
  • The VAE encoded images into a latent space to derive a continuous "thrombus score".
  • Thrombus scores were compared between postoperative and follow-up scans for longitudinal assessment.

Main Results:

  • The VAE successfully classified thrombus states and enabled slice-by-slice quantification of thrombus burden.
  • The algorithm demonstrated robust reconstruction and separation of lumen states without manual annotation.
  • Individual remodeling trajectories varied, with 50% showing increased thrombus, 40% decreased, and 10% unchanged; no significant group-level change was observed.

Conclusions:

  • VAE-based method allows reproducible, annotation-free quantification of FL thrombosis.
  • This AI approach captures patient-specific aortic remodeling patterns post-FET surgery.
  • The tool can enhance post-FET surveillance and personalize aortic imaging workflows.
