The epithelial barrier theory proposes a comprehensive explanation for the origins of allergic and other chronic noncommunicable diseases

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Exposure to common noxious agents (1), including allergens, pollutants, and micro‐nanoplastics, can cause epithelial barrier damage (2) in our body's protective linings. This may trigger an immune response to our microbiome (3). The epithelial barrier theory explains how this process can lead to chronic noncommunicable diseases (4) affecting organs ...

MET variants with activating N‐lobe mutations identified in hereditary papillary renal cell carcinomas still require ligand stimulation

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
MET variants in the N‐lobe of the kinase domain, found in hereditary papillary renal cell carcinoma, require ligand stimulation to promote cell transformation, in contrast to other RTK variants. This suggests that HGF expression in the microenvironment is important for tumor growth in such patients. Their sensitivity to MET inhibitors opens the way for

Recover Fine-Grained Spatial Data from Coarse Aggregation

open access: yes, 2017
In this paper, we study a new type of spatial sparse recovery problem, that is to infer the fine-grained spatial distribution of certain density data in a region only based on the aggregate observations recorded for each of its subregions.

S-patch: Modification of the Hermite parametric patch

open access: yes, 2022
A new modification of the Hermite cubic rectangular patch is proposed: the S-Patch, which is based on the requirement that diagonal curves must be of degree 3 instead of degree 6 as it is in the case of the Hermite patch. Theoretical derivation of conditions is presented and some experimental results as well. The S-Patch is convenient for applications,

TRPM8 levels determine tumor vulnerability to channel agonists

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
TRPM8 is a Ca2+ permissive channel. Regardless of the amount of its transcript, high levels of TRPM8 protein mark different tumors, including prostate, breast, colorectal, and lung carcinomas. Targeting TRPM8 with channel agonists stimulates inward calcium currents followed by emptying of cytosolic Ca2+ stores in cancer cells.

Classification of Sleep Apnea Severity by Electrocardiogram Monitoring Using a Novel Wearable Device

open access: yesSensors, 2020
Sleep apnea (SA) is a prevalent disorder diagnosed by polysomnography (PSG) based on the number of apnea−hypopnea events per hour of sleep (apnea−hypopnea index, AHI).

Marginal Fermi Liquid with a Two-Dimensional Patched Fermi Surface

open access: yes, 1999
We consider a model composed of Landau quasiparticle states with patched Fermi surfaces (FS) sandwiched by states with flat FS to simulate the ``cold'' spot regions in cuprates. We calculate the one particle irreducible function and the self-energy up to

Con-Patch: When a Patch Meets Its Context [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Image Processing, 2016
Measuring the similarity between patches in images is a fundamental building block in various tasks. Naturally, the patch-size has a major impact on the matching quality, and on the consequent application performance. Under the assumption that our patch database is sufficiently sampled, using large patches (e.g. 21-by-21) should be preferred over small

Systematic profiling of cancer‐fibroblast interactions reveals drug combinations in ovarian cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Fibroblasts, cells in the tumor environment, support ovarian cancer cell growth and alter morphology and drug response. We used fibroblast and cancer cell co‐culture models to test 528 drugs and discovered new drugs for combination treatment. We showed that adding Vorinostat or Birinapant to standard chemotherapy may improve drug response, suggesting ...

Counterfeit Detection of Iranian Black Tea Using Image Processing and Deep Learning Based on Patched and Unpatched Images

open access: yesHorticulturae
Tea is central to the culture and economy of the Middle East countries, especially in Iran. At some levels of society, it has become one of the main food items consumed by households.
