Improving machine learning detection of Alzheimer disease using enhanced manta ray gene selection of Alzheimer gene expression datasets by Zahraa Ahmed, Mesut Çevik

“…However, the late enriched understanding of the genetic underpinnings of AD has been made possible due to recent advancements in data mining analysis methods, machine learning, and microarray technologies. However, the “curse of dimensionality” caused by the high-dimensional microarray datasets impacts the accurate prediction of the disease due to issues of overfitting, bias, and high computational demands. …”

Spheroid Culture of Mesenchymal Stem Cells by Zoe Cesarz, Kenichi Tamama

“…Compared with traditional 2D adherent cell culture, 3D spheroidal cell aggregates, or spheroids, are regarded as more physiological, and this technique has been exploited in the field of oncology, stem cell biology, and tissue engineering. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) cultured in spheroids have enhanced anti-inflammatory, angiogenic, and tissue reparative/regenerative effects with improved cell survival after transplantation. …”

Prognostic value of immune biomarkers in melanoma loco-regional metastases. by Emilia Hugdahl, Sura Aziz, Tor A Klingen, Lars A Akslen

“…In a patient series of loco-regional metastases from nodular melanomas (n = 78; n = 26 skin metastases, n = 52 lymph node metastases), expression of PD-L1 in tumour cells and the number of CD3, CD8, FOXP3 and PD-L1 positive TILs were determined by immunohistochemistry on tissue microarray (TMA) slides. Due to limited tumour tissue in the paraffin blocks, 67 of the 78 cases were included for tissue microarrays. …”
