Instance Segmentation of Dense and Overlapping Objects via Layering [PDF]
Instance segmentation aims to delineate each individual object of interest in an image. State-of-the-art approaches achieve this goal by either partitioning semantic segmentations or refining coarse representations of detected objects. In this work, we propose a novel approach to solve the problem via object layering, i.e. by distributing crowded, even

Selective inhibition of the p53–MDM2 interaction by nutlin drugs: a new therapeutic perspective for neuroblastoma [PDF]
Neuroblastoma is one of the most common and most deadly childhood tumors. There is an unmet need to develop new therapeutic modalities for this malignancy that preferentially should be guided by our increasing knowledge of the biology of neuroblastoma ...

DNA methylation profiling of primary neuroblastoma tumors using methyl-CpG-binding domain sequencing [PDF]
Comprehensive genome-wide DNA methylation studies in neuroblastoma (NB), a childhood tumor that originates from precursor cells of the sympathetic nervous system, are scarce. Recently, we profiled the DNA methylome of 102 well-annotated primary NB tumors

Although a rare disease, neuroblastoma accounts for the highest proportion of childhood cancer deaths. There is a lack of recurrent somatic mutations in neuroblastoma embryonal tumours, suggesting a possible role for epigenetic alterations in driving ...

TrajPy: empowering feature engineering for trajectory analysis across domains [PDF]
Trajectories, sequentially measured quantities that form a path, are an important presence in many different fields, from hadronic beams in physics to electrocardiograms in medicine. Trajectory anal-ysis requires the quantification and classification of curves either using statistical descriptors or physics-based features.

The multikinase inhibitor RXDX-105 is effective against neuroblastoma in vitro and in vivo. [PDF]
Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor of childhood and accounts for 15% of all pediatric cancer-related deaths. New therapies are needed to improve outcomes for children with high-risk and relapsed tumors. Inhibitors of the RET kinase

Improper Supplementation Habits of Folic Acid Intake by Hungarian Pregnant Women: Improper Recommendations [PDF]
Background: Neural tube defects (NTDs) are some of the most common congenital anomalies. Proper folic acid supplementation is a dominant risk factor, which has been shown to decrease the incidence of NTDs.

Advances in Risk Classification and Treatment Strategies for Neuroblastoma.
Risk-based treatment approaches for neuroblastoma have been ongoing for decades. However, the criteria used to define risk in various institutional and cooperative groups were disparate, limiting the ability to compare clinical trial results. To mitigate

Tumor to normal single cell mRNA comparisons reveal a pan-neuroblastoma cancer cell
Neuroblastoma is a childhood cancer that resembles developmental stages of the neural crest. It is not established what developmental processes neuroblastoma cancer cells represent. Here, we sought to reveal the phenotype of neuroblastoma cancer cells by

Genetic Predisposition to Neuroblastoma
Neuroblastoma is the most common solid tumor in children under the age of one. It displays remarkable phenotypic heterogeneity, resulting in differences in outcomes that correlate with clinical and biologic features at diagnosis.
