NF2 is Essential for Human Endoderm Development

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that NF2, moesin‐ezrin‐radixin like (MERLIN) tumor suppressor (NF2) is essential for human endoderm formation. NF2 knockout human induced pluripotent stem cells fail to form endoderm both in vitro and in vivo due to yes‐associated protein 1 (YAP1) nuclear translocation, redirecting differentiation toward myofibroblast‐like cells.

Modeling TB-HIV syndemic and treatment [PDF]

J. Appl. Math. 2014 (2014), Art. ID 248407, 14 pp, 2014
Tuberculosis (TB) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) can be considered a deadly human syndemic. In this article, we formulate a model for TB and HIV transmission dynamics. The model considers both TB and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) treatment for individuals with only one of the infectious diseases or both.

Chemotherapy‐Mediated Induction of PD‐L1 via SEI1 Facilitates Myeloma Immune Evasion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Chemotherapy induces DNA damage, activating cyclic guanosine monophosphate (GMP)‐adenosine monophosphate (AMP) synthase (cGAS)/stimulator of interferon genes (STING), which phosphorylates interferon regulatory factor 7 (IRF7) to drive SERTA‐containing domain 1 (SEI1) transcription.

Preferential Mixture-of-Experts: Interpretable Models that Rely on Human Expertise as much as Possible [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
We propose Preferential MoE, a novel human-ML mixture-of-experts model that augments human expertise in decision making with a data-based classifier only when necessary for predictive performance. Our model exhibits an interpretable gating function that provides information on when human rules should be followed or avoided.

A Bayesian framework for estimating vaccine efficacy per infectious contact [PDF]

Annals of Applied Statistics 2008, Vol. 2, No. 4, 1409-1431, 2009
In vaccine studies for infectious diseases such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the frequency and type of contacts between study participants and infectious sources are among the most informative risk factors, but are often not adequately adjusted for in standard analyses. Such adjustment can improve the assessment of vaccine efficacy as well as

The Super Enhancer‐Driven Long Noncoding RNA PRKCQ‐AS1 Promotes Neuroblastoma Tumorigenesis by Interacting With MSI2 Protein and Is Targetable by Small Molecule Compounds

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
PRKCQ‐AS1 is overexpressed due to transcriptional super‐enhancers. PRKCQ‐AS1 RNA forms a complex with MSI2 protein to induce BMX mRNA stabilization and overexpression, ERK protein phosphorylation and neuroblastoma cell proliferation. Compound NSC617570 blocks PRKCQ‐AS1 binding to MSI2, leading to BMX mRNA disassociation from MSI2 protein, BMX reduction,

Autosomal recessive hyper‐IgE syndrome due to DOCK8 deficiency: An adjunctive role for omalizumab

Journal of Cutaneous Immunology and Allergy, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 222-226, December 2022., 2022
We report a rare case of AR‐HIES with DOCK8 deficiency in a young male that was successfully treated by infection management, skincare, diet elimination, and omalizumab. Abstract Autosomal recessive hyper‐IgE syndrome (AR‐HIES) is a rare primary immunodeficiency disorder characterized by high serum IgE levels, recurrent viral skin infections, severe ...
