Generalizing AI-driven Assessment of Immunohistochemistry across Immunostains and Cancer Types: A Universal Immunohistochemistry Analyzer [PDF]
Despite advancements in methodologies, immunohistochemistry (IHC) remains the most utilized ancillary test for histopathologic and companion diagnostics in targeted therapies. However, objective IHC assessment poses challenges. Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a potential solution, yet its development requires extensive training for each ...

Genome-wide analysis to predict protein sequence variations that change phosphorylation sites or their corresponding kinases [PDF]
We define phosphovariants as genetic variations that change phosphorylation sites or their interacting kinases. Considering the essential role of phosphorylation in protein functions, it is highly likely that phosphovariants change protein functions and ...

Pericellular activation of hepatocyte growth factor by the transmembrane serine proteases matriptase and hepsin, but not by the membrane-associated protease uPA [PDF]
HGF (hepatocyte growth factor) is a pleiotropic cytokine homologous to the serine protease zymogen plasminogen that requires canonical proteolytic cleavage to gain functional activity.

Genomics Review of Selective RET Inhibitors Sensitivity in Thyroid Cancer Clinical Trials
ABSTRACT RET gene is a driver of thyroid cancer (TC) tumorigenesis. The incidence of TC has increased worldwide in the last few decades, both in medullary and follicular‐derived subtypes. Several drugs, including multikinase and selective inhibitors, have been explored.

A Preliminary Work on Evolutionary Identification of Protein Variants and New Proteins on Grids [PDF]
Protein identification is one of the major task of Proteomics researchers. Protein identification could be resumed by searching the best match between an experimental mass spectrum and proteins from a database. Nevertheless this approach can not be used to identify new proteins or protein variants.

Advances in CRISPR‐Cas9 in lineage tracing of model animals
Cell lineage tracing is a key technology for describing the developmental history of individual progenitor cells and assembling them to form a lineage development tree. However, traditional methods have limitations of poor stability and insufficient resolution.

Understanding Functional Protein-Protein Interactions Of ABCB11 And ADA In Human And Mouse [PDF]
Proteins are macromolecules which hardly act alone; they need to make interactions with some other proteins to do so. Numerous factors are there which can regulate the interactions between proteins [4]. Here in this present study we aim to understand Protein -Protein Interactions (PPIs) of two proteins ABCB11 and ADA from quantitative point of view ...
