Key aspect/summary of your research project项目简介

1.项目方向
肿瘤的侵袭和转移不仅由基因突变驱动,也受到肿瘤微环境中力学因素的重要影响,例如细胞外基质刚度升高、应力分布异常、胶原纤维重塑和组织结构异质性等。然而,目前相关证据分散在病理影像、弹性成像、力学测试、分子组学和临床数据等不同模态中,缺乏统一的数据标准、跨尺度对齐方法和可解释建模框架。 本项目拟构建面向肿瘤力学生物学的多模态专病数据库,融合数字病理、弹性成像、力学测量、分子特征和临床结局等数据,发展结构—力学一致对齐方法和可解释人工智能模型,揭示肿瘤微结构重塑如何影响力学表型,并进一步驱动侵袭和转移风险。

2.你将参与的核心研究内容
肿瘤力学生物学专病数据库构建:围绕典型实体肿瘤,整合病理图像、弹性成像、力学测试、分子组学和临床结局等多模态数据,建立可追溯、可复用、可扩展的数据资源。
结构—力学跨模态对齐方法研究:探索如何将二维病理图像、三维力学成像、组织力学参数和分子标志物进行统一表达,实现肿瘤微结构变化与力学表型之间的精细关联。
可解释 AI 与图模型建模: 结合多示例学习、图神经网络、超图模型和物理约束神经网络等方法,建立从“微结构重塑—力学表型—侵袭风险”的机制建模框架。
侵袭风险预测与机制解释:面向精准肿瘤诊疗需求,发展可解释的侵袭风险预测模型,形成可审计的力学证据链,为后续临床风险评估和疗效预测提供支持。

Tumor invasion and metastasis are driven not only by genetic mutations, but also by mechanical factors within the tumor microenvironment, such as increased extracellular matrix stiffness, abnormal stress distribution, collagen fiber remodeling, and tissue structural heterogeneity. However, current evidence remains scattered across different modalities, including pathological imaging, elastography, mechanical testing, molecular omics, and clinical data. There is still a lack of unified data standards, cross-scale alignment methods, and explainable modeling frameworks. This project aims to construct a multimodal disease-specific database for tumor mechanobiology by integrating data from digital pathology, elastography, mechanical measurements, molecular features, and clinical outcomes. It will develop structure–mechanics-consistent alignment methods and explainable artificial intelligence models to reveal how tumor microstructural remodeling influences mechanical phenotypes and further drives the risk of invasion and metastasis.
