Prediction of Lung CT Scores of Systemic Sclerosis by Cascaded Regression Neural Networks [PDF]
Visually scoring lung involvement in systemic sclerosis from CT scans plays an important role in monitoring progression, but its labor intensiveness hinders practical application. We proposed, therefore, an automatic scoring framework that consists of two cascaded deep regression neural networks.

Functional characterization of reappearing B cells after anti-CD20 treatment of CNS autoimmune disease. [PDF]
The anti-CD20 antibody ocrelizumab, approved for treatment of multiple sclerosis, leads to rapid elimination of B cells from the blood. The extent of B cell depletion and kinetics of their recovery in different immune compartments is largely unknown ...
