The global macroeconomic burden of diabetes mellitus

Nature Medicine, Published online: 29 December 2025; doi:10.1038/s41591-025-04027-5

An analysis of 204 countries estimates that diabetes will cost the global economy $10.2 trillion between the years 2020 and 2050.

EduAgentQG: A Multi-Agent Workflow Framework for Personalized Question Generation

arXiv:2511.11635v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: High-quality personalized question banks are crucial for supporting adaptive learning and individualized assessment. Manually designing questions is time-consuming and often fails to meet diverse learning needs, making automated question generation a crucial approach to reduce teachers' workload and improve the scalability of educational resources. However, most existing question generation methods rely on single-agent or rule-based pipelines, which still produce questions with unstable quality, limited diversity, and insufficient alignment with educational goals. To address these challenges, we propose EduAgentQG, a multi-agent collaborative framework for generating high-quality and diverse personalized questions. The framework consists of five specialized agents and operates through an iterative feedback loop: the Planner generates structured design plans and multiple question directions to enhance diversity; the Writer produces candidate questions based on the plan and optimizes their quality and diversity using feedback from the Solver and Educator; the Solver and Educator perform binary scoring across multiple evaluation dimensions and feed the evaluation results back to the Writer; the Checker conducts final verification, including answer correctness and clarity, ensuring alignment with educational goals. Through this multi-agent collaboration and iterative feedback loop, EduAgentQG generates questions that are both high-quality and diverse, while maintaining consistency with educational objectives. Experiments on two mathematics question datasets demonstrate that EduAgentQG outperforms existing single-agent and multi-agent methods in terms of question diversity, goal consistency, and overall quality.

Pan-cancer analysis uncovered the prognostic and therapeutic value of disulfidptosis

NPJ Precis Oncol. 2025 Feb 24;9(1):50. doi: 10.1038/s41698-025-00834-8.

ABSTRACT

Disulfidptosis, a newly discovered cell death mode distinct from other programmed cell death in lung and kidney cancer cells, is defined as extensive disulfide bonds to actin cytoskeleton proteins, leading to actin contraction and cytoskeletal disruption cell death. New cell death pattern discoveries often drive advances in tumor research. Therefore, the present study attempted to decipher the manifestation and importance of disulfidptosis in pan-cancer. Combining Clinical specimen immunofluorescence staining, single-cell analyses, and spatial transcriptome analyses, we demonstrated the manifestation of disulfidptosis in pan-cancer. Multi-omics analysis has revealed that genomic variants and DNA methylation in DRGs can affect the prognosis of patients with pan-cancer. The nomogram based on the DRGs Score model could accurately predict the prognosis of patients with pan-cancer. PF-562271, EHT-1864, and IPA-3 are potential therapeutic agents targeting disulfidptosis. Collectively, this study deciphered for the first time the importance of disulfidptosis for pan-cancer and developed the DRGs Score model that can assist clinicians in accurately predicting the prognosis and guiding individualized treatment of pan-cancer patients.
