The impact of leukocyte‐associated RNA retention on platelet RNA‐based cancer detection

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Platelets carry RNA signals that may help detect cancer, but platelet samples can also retain RNA from white blood cells. We found that this retained white blood cell signal did not significantly affect machine learning cancer classification, suggesting that the cancer‐related RNA signal in platelets is largely independent of leukocyte‐associated RNA ...

Design and evaluation of FEBS Education and Training Academy module – Integrating generative artificial intelligence into life‐science education

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Life‐science educators from 14 countries redesigned their own course materials with generative AI in a three‐session, pedagogy‐first FEBS Education and Training Academy workshop built on PICRAT. Among 12 matched respondents, four more reported high confidence in each of five practical domains, and 10 of 13 reported implementing at least one idea ...
