Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research, 2022 Background Cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) play a pivotal role in lung tumor formation and progression. Nerve injury-induced protein 1 (Ninjurin1, Ninj1) has been implicated in lung cancer; however, the pathological role of Ninj1 in the context of lung ...

Comparison Of Artificial Intelligence-Based Chest CT Emphysema Quantification to Pulmonary Function Tests [PDF]
Ain Shams Medical Journal, 2023 Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is caused by small-airway disease and emphysema. Although pulmonary function tests (PFT) measure airflow obstruction, they can't differentiate between airflow limitation and emphysema. Computed Tomography
