PhyIndBC: Development of a machine learning tool for screening of potential breast cancer inhibitors from phytochemicalsGitHub by Agneesh Pratim Das, Subhash M. Agarwal

“…Thus, in the current study a machine learning (ML) model was created using phytomolecules having inhibitory activity against breast cancer cell lines. Multiple ML techniques viz., k-nearest neighbor (KNN), random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), and extreme gradient boosting (XGB) were combined with various molecular fingerprints (MACCS and Morgan2) to develop multiple predictive models. …”

CD36-Mediated Lipid Accumulation and Activation of NLRP3 Inflammasome Lead to Podocyte Injury in Obesity-Related Glomerulopathy by Jing Zhao, Hong-liang Rui, Min Yang, Li-jun Sun, Hong-rui Dong, Hong Cheng

“…The expression of adipose differentiation-related protein (ADRP), CD36, sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 (SREBP-1), and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) in renal tissue were increased. In in vitro cell experiments, after cultured podocytes were stimulated with leptin, similar to ORG mice, we found aggravated podocyte injury, formatted lipid droplet, increased expression of ADRP and CD36, activated NLRP3 inflammasome, and released IL-1β. …”

The technology landscape for detection of DNA methylation in cancer liquid biopsies by Isabelle Neefs, Joe Ibrahim, Marc Peeters, Guy Van Camp, Ken Op de Beeck

“…The first methods were established for DNA methylation detection in genomic DNA, while new methods have focused more on compatibility with the emerging interest of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from liquid biopsies. As DNA methylation detection in cfDNA brings its own challenges, a shift from the gold standard bisulfite conversion towards enzymatic conversion methods can be observed in recent years. …”

Characteristics of COVID-19 clinical trials registered with ClinicalTrials.gov: cross-sectional analysis by Timothy F Platts-Mills, Christopher W Jones, Ashley L Woodford

“…There are also at least 25 registered trials of azithromycin (n=53), convalescent plasma (n=38), lopinavir/ritonavir (n=30), stem cell treatments (n=29) and tocilizumab (n=25). 142 trials were registered in the first 3 months of 2020, and 488 trials were registered between 1 April and 1 May 2020.Conclusions These findings demonstrate a robust research response to the COVID-19 pandemic, though many of the currently planned and ongoing trials focus on a small number of potential therapies, and many also lack essential design features and power necessary to provide accurate treatment effect estimates.…”
