DNA origami-designed 3D phononic crystals by Park Sung Hun, Park Haedong, Nam Jwa-Min, Ke Yonggang, Liedl Tim, Tian Ye, Lee Seungwoo

“…More importantly, conformal silicification can render DNA origami-3D crystals rigid. Overall, we predict that the widest hypersonic PnBG can be achieved with DNA origami-designed 3D crystals with optimal lattice geometry and silica fraction; our work can provide a blueprint for the design and fabrication of mesoscale 3D PnCs with a champion PnBG.…”

Quantifying intratumoral biomarker heterogeneity in tubo-ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma to optimize clinical translation by Aline Talhouk, Derek S. Chiu, Liliane Meunier, Kurosh Rahimi, Cécile Le Page, Monique Bernard, Diane Provencher, David G. Huntsman, Anne Marie Mes Masson, Martin Köbel

“…Abstract Intratumoral heterogeneity (ITH) is spatial, phenotypic, or molecular differences within the same tumor that have important implications for accurate tumor classification and assessment of predictive biomarkers. The Canadian Ovarian Experimental Unified Resource (COEUR) has created a cohort of 437 FFPE tissue specimens from 108 tubo-ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) patients to quantify ITH across the anatomical sites and between primary and recurrence. …”

Breast mass classification based on supervised contrastive learning and multi‐view consistency penalty on mammography by Lilei Sun, Jie Wen, Junqian Wang, Zheng Zhang, Yong Zhao, Guiying Zhang, Yong Xu

“…A multi‐view network is designed to extract the complementary information between the Craniocaudal (CC) and Mediolateral Oblique (MLO) mammographic views of a breast mass. For the different predictions of the features extracted from the CC view and MLO view of the same breast mass, the proposed algorithm forces the network to extract the consistent features from the two views by the cross‐entropy function with an added consistent penalty term. …”
