Imaging Mass Cytometry Discovers Tumor Microenvironment Features Predicting Lung Cancer Outcomes
Researchers applied a deep-learning approach to generate a model to predict lung cancer progression based on the tumor microenvironment.
New studies suggest many methods that map NGS reads to a reference can be improved using a graph-based reference genome rather than a linear one.
Analysis Highlights Plasma Metabolites With Roles in Common Diseases
According to the researchers, these metabolites could potentially be targeted by drugs to manage disease.
Late-Onset Ataxia Linked to New Repeat Expansion in FGF14 Gene
The repeat expansion appears to coincide with late-onset cerebellar ataxia risk, particularly in patients from a French-Canadian population.
Meta-Analyses Hint at Severe COVID-19 Risk Factors, Ties to Autoimmune Disease
A pair of new studies have linked severe COVID-19 risk to variants involved in systemic lupus erythematosus and to rare variants in the toll-like receptor gene TLR7.
