The immunoregulatory and allergy-associated cytokines in the aetiology of the otitis media with effusion by Marina G. Smirnova, John P. Birchall, Jeffrey P. Pearson

“…Cytokines are the central molecular regulators of middle ear inflammation and can switch the acute phase of inflammation in the chronic stage and induce molecular-pathological processes leading to the histopathological changes accompanying OME. …”

“…By providing cluster-level labels on only a handful of cases, we show how custom PHARAOH models can be developed efficiently and used to guide the quantification of cellular features that correlate with molecular, pathologic and patient outcome data. Moreover, by using our PHARAOH pipeline, we showcase how correlation of cohort-level cytoarchitectural features with accompanying biological and outcome data can help systematically devise interpretable morphometric models of disease. …”

Identification and Development of Synovial B-Cell-Related Genes Diagnostic Signature for Rheumatoid Arthritis by Jifeng Tang, Jinfang Xia, Huiming Sheng, Jinpiao Lin

“…The diagnosis model was established, and these gene markers have good discriminative ability for RA. Molecular pathological evaluation confirmed RA patients with high-risk scores presented higher levels of B-cell activation and RA characteristics. …”
