Enhancing AI-Based Tropical Cyclone Track and Intensity Forecasting via Systematic Bias Correction
arXiv:2603.22314v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Tropical cyclones (TCs) pose severe threats to life, infrastructure, and economies in tropical and subtropical regions, underscoring the critical need for accurate and timely forecasts of both track and intensity. Recent advances in AI-based weather forecasting have shown promise in improving TC track forecasts. However, these systems are typically trained on coarse-resolution reanalysis data (e.g., ERA5 at 0.25 degree), which constrains predict

ABSTRACT
The prognosis for hepatocellular carcinoma remains grim. Combining radiotherapy with immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has shown potential to enhance therapeutic outcomes, yet there is a pressing need for further advancements. Our previous research demonstrated that this combined approach suppresses ALKBH5 gene expression and increases m6A modification levels in hepatocellular carcinoma tissues. High-throughput sequencing and detailed molecular analysis revealed that inhibiting ALKBH5 amplifies CIITA m6A modifications post-therapy. This modulation triggers MHC II molecule expression in tumors, facilitating the presentation of tumor-associated antigens to CD4 + T lymphocytes and the recruitment of CD8 + T cells for an anti-tumor immune response. Building on these findings, we engineered a CIITA vector with a specific site mutation to confirm that the regulation of CIITA by the combined radiotherapy and immunotherapy is mediated through m6A methylation. Consequently, we established a comprehensive network involving ALKBH5, CIITA, MHC II, and CD4+ and CD8 + T cells. To elucidate the role and underlying molecular mechanisms of this combined therapy in reshaping the tumor immune microenvironment for hepatocellular carcinoma, we employed multi-omics approaches across in vitro, animal model, and clinical multi-dimensional studies, offering novel insights for enhancing treatment efficacy.
