Deep Generative Survival Analysis: Nonparametric Estimation of Conditional Survival Function [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
We propose a deep generative approach to nonparametric estimation of conditional survival and hazard functions with right-censored data. The key idea of the proposed method is to first learn a conditional generator for the joint conditional distribution of the observed time and censoring indicator given the covariates, and then construct the Kaplan ...

HNF3α Targets Nckap1l and Promotes Renal Fibrosis Following Ischemia‐Reperfusion Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 3 alpha (HNF3α) is significantly upregulated in renal tubular epithelial cells of CKD patients and fibrotic mice. Deletion of HNF3α mitigates IRI‐induced renal fibrosis, while overexpression worsens it. HNF3α directly regulates NCK‐associated protein 1‐like (Nckap1l), whose overexpression exacerbates fibrosis.

Gut Microbiota‐Butyrate‐PPARγ Axis Modulates Adipose Regulatory T Cell Population

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies the indispensable role of gut microbiota in the maintenance of ST2+ adipose Treg cell population, and defines gut microbiota‐derived butyrate as an endogenous PPARγ agonist, modulating adipose Treg cell populations via promoting PPARγ activation. Butyrate or fiber supplementation restores the VAT ST2+ Treg population in obese mice

Nonlinear association structures in flexible Bayesian additive joint models [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Joint models of longitudinal and survival data have become an important tool for modeling associations between longitudinal biomarkers and event processes. The association between marker and log-hazard is assumed to be linear in existing shared random effects models, with this assumption usually remaining unchecked.

Mas Signaling Potentiates Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Formation Induced by Endothelial Cells Derived S1P in Mice with Acute Liver Failure

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In mice challenged with lipopolysaccharide/D‐galactosamine (L/G), Mas signaling increased SHP2 in hepatic Col4a1+ endothelial cells, inhibiting farnesoid X receptor (FXR), potentially due to enterogenic deoxycholic acid. This inhibition activates sphingosine‐1‐phosphate‐induced Raf/MEK/ERK signaling in Cldn1+CD177+ neutrophils, causing neutrophil ...

Forecasting Disease Burden In Philippines: A Symbolic Regression Analysis [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Burden of disease measures the impact of living with illness and injury and dying prematurely and it is increasing worldwide leading cause of death both global and national. This paper aimed to propose an index of diseases and evaluate a mathematical model to describe the number of burden of disease by cause in the Philippines from 1990 - 2016. Through

hESCs‐derived Organoids Achieve Liver Zonation Features through LSEC Modulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This article addresses the absence of zonation features in current organoid models by co‐culturing human embryonic stem cell‐derived hepatocytes with liver sinusoidal endothelial cells exhibiting distinct zonal characteristics. It demonstrates that differential WNT2 signaling from endothelial cells modulates hepatocyte zonation and metabolic functions,

Paclitaxel/Luteolin Coloaded Dual‐Functional Liposomes for Esophageal Cancer Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The authors develop a pH‐sensitive aptamer‐modified liposome (EA2‐PSL‐PTX/LUT) to illustrate a strategy for the precise delivery of combinational chemotherapeutic drugs for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) targeted therapy. EA2‐PSL‐PTX/LUT provides efficient co‐loading, tumor targeting, and controlled release of luteolin and paclitaxel ...
