European Journal of Immunology, Volume 53, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 Modern surgical (technical) possibilities enable pleural macrophage isolation and analyses regardless the person`s age. Transcriptome profiling of macrophages from healthy or sick individuals revealed that these cells express high levels of metallothioneins, metal‐binding proteins that are involved in heavy metal detoxification, antioxidative defense ...

Mutation update for the ACTN2 gene
Human Mutation, Volume 43, Issue 12, Page 1745-1756, December 2022., 2022 Abstract ACTN2 encodes alpha‐actinin‐2, a protein expressed in human cardiac and skeletal muscle. The protein, located in the sarcomere Z‐disk, functions as a link between the anti‐parallel actin filaments. This important structural protein also binds N‐terminal titins, and thus contributes to sarcomere stability.

Incorporating Uncertainty in Learning to Defer Algorithms for Safe Computer-Aided Diagnosis [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Deep neural networks are increasingly being used for computer-aided diagnosis, but erroneous diagnoses can be extremely costly for patients. We propose a learning to defer with uncertainty (LDU) algorithm which identifies patients for whom diagnostic uncertainty is high and defers them for evaluation by human experts. LDU was evaluated on the diagnosis
