Expression of CD274 mRNA Measured by qRT-PCR Correlates With PD-L1 Immunohistochemistry in Gastric and Urothelial Carcinoma

Frontiers in Oncology, 2022
Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) immunohistochemistry (IHC) is widely used to predict the clinical responses to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). However, PD-L1 IHC suffers from the complexity of multiple testing platforms and different cutoff values

Hypomethylation mediates genetic association with the major histocompatibility complex genes in Sjögren's syndrome.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Differential methylation of immune genes has been a consistent theme observed in Sjögren's syndrome (SS) in CD4+ T cells, CD19+ B cells, whole blood, and labial salivary glands (LSGs).

Signatures of Perseveration and Heuristic-Based Directed Exploration in Two-Step Sequential Decision Task Behaviour

Computational Psychiatry
Processes formalized in classic Reinforcement Learning (RL) theory, such as model-based (MB) control, habit formation, and exploration have proven fertile in cognitive and computational neuroscience, as well as computational psychiatry. Dysregulations in

Explaining global increases in water use efficiency: why have we overestimated responses to rising atmospheric CO(2) in natural forest ecosystems? [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The analysis of tree-ring carbon isotope composition (δ(13)C) has been widely used to estimate spatio-temporal variations in intrinsic water use efficiency (iWUE) of tree species.

Incomplete Absorption Correction Results in an Increased Positive Mean Value of Weighted Residuals

Crystals
Incomplete absorption correction procedures in single-crystal diffraction experiments leave a characteristic trace—a “fingerprint”—in the residuals. Specifically, weak intensities are systematically overestimated, contributing disproportionately and ...

Bridging the Gap in Neuroblastoma Care: Consensus‐Based Statements With Recommendations for Improved Patient and Caregiver Experiences

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neuroblastoma's complex, heterogeneous biology poses significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, often requiring caregivers to absorb complex information and participate in time‐sensitive decisions. However, caregivers often feel unprepared to evaluate options.
