MMF-PREG is an executable clinical skill for transparent reproductive-safety triage around mycophenolate use in rheumatic and autoimmune disease. It addresses a real bedside problem: fetal-teratogenic exposure risk and preconception transition failure when patients remain on mycophenolate during possible conception, stop it without completed washout, or lack a pregnancy-compatible maintenance plan.

Identifying which components of a high-dimensional system alter their macroscopic influence under a change in conditions is a fundamentally different problem from ranking features by static importance. The former requires reasoning about how predictive structure shifts between regimes — a question that correlational pipelines, trained on a single pooled dataset, are structurally ill-equipped to answer.

Tumour-associated neutrophils (TANs) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) occupy a continuous activation spectrum from anti-tumour antigen-presenting to pro-tumour angiogenic and immunosuppressive biology [Grieshaber-Bouyer et al., Nature Communications, 2021; Antuamwine et al.

RTX-IGG is an executable clinical skill for transparent monitoring-oriented risk stratification of rituximab-associated hypogammaglobulinemia and infection vulnerability in rheumatic and autoimmune disease. The model integrates baseline and current IgG, IgM, rituximab course count, recency of dosing, maintenance intent, cyclophosphamide and glucocorticoid exposure, lymphocyte count, prior serious infection, chronic lung disease, kidney disease, and persistent B-cell suppression.

Large language models (LLMs) have rapidly evolved from text generators to autonomous agents capable of executing complex, multi-step research pipelines. We present a framework for **Autonomous Scientific Research with LLMs (ASR-LLM)** that integrates literature mining, public data retrieval, analysis, and peer-reviewed publication into an end-to-end pipeline.

**Background:** Semaglutide (Ozempic®/Wegovy®/Rybelsus®), a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA), has seen rapid uptake for type 2 diabetes and obesity management. Post-marketing surveillance for heterogeneous safety signals across demographic subgroups remains an active area of research.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common malignancy globally, with microsatellite instability (MSI) present in approximately 15% of cases. MSI is driven by deficiency in the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) system and confers distinct therapeutic vulnerabilities, particularly immunotherapy responsiveness.

**Background:** Semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, is prescribed for both Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and obesity/weight management. Whether the safety profile differs by indication remains incompletely characterized.

We investigate the adverse events (ADR) profiles of Semaglutide and Tirzepatide using multi-source pharmacovigilance data, finding robust gastrointestinal signals and detecting differences in specific AE ratios.

We train a residual variational autoencoder (SR-VAE) that performs 2x super-resolution on Hi-C contact maps (128x128 LR to 256x256 HR at 10 kb) by parameterizing the output as bicubic(LR) + gain * decoder(z). On GM12878 held-out chromosomes SR-VAE beats a faithfully reimplemented HiCPlus by 19 percent MSE, 13 percent SSIM, and 8 percent HiC-Spector.

We present battisiBot v2, a 24-step sequential reinforcement learning environment for automated orthodontic aligner trajectory planning. An agent plans one aligner stage at a time across 28 teeth as SE(3) poses, with 5 tool-use actions, Andrews Six Keys occlusion scoring, PDL biomechanical model, collision detection, adversarial non-compliance, 8-axis adaptive difficulty, 8 malocclusion classes, 5 arch forms, and real clinical data from Open-Full-Jaw (17 patients) and Mendeley Jaw Models.

**Background:** Ophthalmic drug safety surveillance faces a fundamental challenge: the same drug can exhibit radically different adverse event (AE) profiles depending on the clinical indication, route of administration, and patient population. Traditional pharmacovigilance methods, which aggregate adverse events across all uses of a drug, systematically mask indication-specific toxicity signals.

We present MTX-LIVER, an executable Python skill for transparent liver-safety risk stratification before or during low-dose methotrexate therapy in rheumatic and autoimmune disease. The model integrates obesity, diabetes, known steatosis/NAFLD, alcohol exposure, chronic hepatitis B/C, baseline and current aminotransferases, albumin, platelet count, methotrexate weekly dose, treatment duration, cumulative dose, folate supplementation, concomitant leflunomide, and persistent transaminitis.

**Background**: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the sixth most common cancer globally, with over 870,000 new cases annually. Targeted therapies and immune checkpoint inhibitors have transformed HCC treatment, yet these drugs carry inherent hepatotoxicity risks that are amplified in patients with compromised liver function.

A persistent reproducibility crisis in biomedical research has been attributed to statistical errors, selective reporting, and p-hacking—yet a comparatively underexplored mechanism is the role of unstated assumptions that silently link evidence to conclusions. When a paper's core claims rest on premises that are never made explicit, the validity of those claims depends entirely on the truth of assumptions that are never tested, discussed, or even acknowledged.

Biomedical researchers spend a disproportionate amount of time navigating fragmented literature to identify viable therapeutic hypotheses. We introduce BioLit-Scout, a modular, agent-executable skill that automates the aggregation, filtering, and synthesis of published evidence for hypothesis prioritization in disease mechanism research.

Reliable biomedical language modeling requires not only factual recall but also robust handling of invalid evidence. We present a bioinformatics-oriented contamination benchmark that measures whether LLMs rely on retracted medical papers under clinically framed tasks, using a versioned Kaggle dataset snapshot and a two-stage evaluation protocol.

Biological literature synthesis for therapeutic target identification remains a manual, time-consuming process with limited reproducibility. Researchers navigating thousands of publications across PubMed, bioRxiv, and domain databases face fragmented evidence, inconsistent nomenclature, and difficulty prioritizing candidate targets.

Janus kinase inhibitors are effective therapies for rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases, but thrombotic safety concerns remain clinically important. We present VTE-JAK, an executable Python skill for transparent pre-treatment and treatment-review stratification of venous thromboembolism risk in patients being considered for JAK inhibitor therapy.
