Machine learning for identifying liver and pancreas cancers through comprehensive serum glycopeptide spectra analysis: a case‐control study

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study presents a novel AI‐based diagnostic approach—comprehensive serum glycopeptide spectra analysis (CSGSA)—that integrates tumor markers and enriched glycopeptides from serum. Using a neural network model, this method accurately distinguishes liver and pancreatic cancers from healthy individuals.

The critical role of DNA damage‐inducible transcript 4 (DDIT4) in stemness character of leukemia cells and leukemia initiation

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Stemness properties, including quiescence, self‐renewal, and chemoresistance, are closely associated with leukemia relapse. Here, we demonstrate that DNA damage‐inducible transcript 4 (DDIT4) is induced in the hypoxic bone marrow niche and is essential for maintaining the stemness of AML1‐ETO9a leukemia cells.

Gut alterations in a chronic kidney disease rat model with diet‐induced vascular calcification

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients often suffer from intestinal and/or mineral and bone disorders. Using a rat model, we showed that uremic vascular calcification is associated with gut barrier alterations (decreased gut mucus production and Nlrp6 gene expression, increased gut inflammation), and plasma retention of gut‐origin uremic toxins (indoxyl

Phenotyping Healthcare Use 2–3 Decades Before the First Multiple Sclerosis Demyelinating Event

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Phenotype hospital, physician, and emergency department (ED) visits by diagnoses and specialty up to 29 years pre‐multiple sclerosis (MS) onset versus a matched population without MS. Methods We identified people with MS (PwMS) using population‐based administrative data from Ontario, Canada (1991–2020).
