Nucleic Acids Research: Quality-controlled R-loop meta-analysis reveals the characteristics of R-loop consensus regions (Bishop Lab)
June 27, 2022
Henry E Miller, Daniel Montemayor, Jebriel Abdul, Anna Vines, Simon A Levy, Stella R Hartono, Kumar Sharma, Bess Frost, Frédéric Chédin, Alexander J R Bishop Abstract R-loops are three-stranded nucleic acid structures formed from the hybridization of RNA and DNA. While the pathological consequences of R-loops have been well-studied to date, the locations, classes, and [...]BMC Med Informatics & Decision Making: On the Role of Deep Learning Model Complexity in Adversarial Robustness for Medical Images (Chen Lab)
June 21, 2022
David Rodriguez, Tapsya Nayak, Yidong Chen, Ram Krishnan & Yufei Huang Abstract Deep learning (DL) models are highly vulnerable to adversarial attacks for medical image classification. An adversary could modify the input data in imperceptible ways such that a model could be tricked to predict, say, an image that actually exhibits a malignant tumor to a [...]American Journal of Heart & Circulatory Physiology: Development and Characterization of a Mass Cytometry Panel for Detecting the Effect of Acute Doxorubicin Exposure on Murine Cardiac Non-myocytes (Bishop, Chen, & Aune Labs)

Brian S. Iskra, Logan R. Davis, Henry E. Miller, Yu-Chiao Chiu, Alexander J.R. Bishop, Yidong Chen, and Gregory J. Aune Abstract Childhood cancer survivors (CCSs) face lifelong side effects related to their treatment with chemotherapy. Anthracycline agents, such as doxorubicin (DOX), are important in the treatment of childhood cancers but are associated with cardiotoxicity. Cardiac toxicities represent a significant source [...]Molecular Cancer Therapeutics: Comprehensive Surfaceome Profiling to Identify and Validate Novel Cell-Surface Targets in Osteosarcoma (Houghton, Kurmasheva)

April 25, 2022
Abstract Emerging evidence suggests an important role for SIRT1, a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-dependent deacetylase in cancer development, progression, and therapeutic resistance; making it a viable therapeutic target. Here, we examined the impact of resveratrol-mediated pharmacological activation of SIRT1 on the progression of HGPIN lesions (using the Pten−/− mouse model) and on prostate tumor development (using [...]Oncogene: Targeting farnesylation as a novel therapeutic approach in HRAS-mutant rhabdomyosarcoma (Vaseva)
