As plastic pollution continues to escalate, the widespread presence and potential hazards of microplastics as an emerging global contaminant have drawn increasing attention. In natural environments, microplastic surfaces are prone to colonization by microbial biofilms composed of microorganisms and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), forming a distinct microecosystem known as the plastisphere. This process not only modul...

Quantifying individual health status from increasingly accumulated omics data is essential for both early prevention and intervention of diseases, which attracts great attention from communities of biology and medicine. Most of the existing approaches mainly classify individuals into different catalogues or classes based on phenotypes and biomarkers. However, an individual's health status from a dynamical systems viewpoint can...
