Technological advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly deep learning, have demonstrated remarkable progress in image-recognition tasks. Methods ranging from convolutional neura...
Tumors invade surrounding tissue as cancer progresses, but the heterogeneity of cell types at the tumor-stroma interface and the complexity of their interactions has hampered mechanistic ins...
Individuals with Lynch syndrome (LS) are prone to develop early-onset mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) colorectal- and endometrial cancers due to germline pathogenic variants (PVs) in one of...
Targeted sequencing has many applications in cancer biomarker research, carrier screening and inherited disorders, drug development, mitochondrial DNA variant detection, human ID and paterni...
The majority of disease-associated genetic variants are thought to have regulatory effects, including disruption of transcription factor (TF) binding and alteration of downstream gene expres...
We recently determined that concurrent inhibition of autophagy, using the lysosomal inhibitor chloroquine (CQ), and of ERK, using a small molecule ERK inhibitor (ERKi), synergistically suppr...
There are known outcome disparities between Black and White patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs). Multiple retrospective series have found that Black patients have more adv...
The increasing quantity and quality of spatially resolved omics data provide a unique opportunity to explore the complex molecular mechanisms that take place in biological systems. However,...
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a computer program designed to perform operations typical of human intelligence, such as self-learning. AI is taking over different fields in science; we alre...
