Highly accurate model for prediction of lung nodule malignancy with CT scans
Scientific Reports, Nature. volume 8, Article number: 9286 (2018) Jason L. Causey, Junyu Zhang, Shiqian Ma, Bo Jiang, Jake A. Qualls, David G. Politte, Fred Prior, Shuzhong Zhang, Xiuzhen Huang Abstract Computed tomography (CT) examinations are commonly used to predict lung nodule malignancy in patients, which are shown to improve noninvasive early diagnosis of lung cancer. It remains challenging for […]
E. coli and colorectal cancer, a complex relationship that deserves a critical mindset
Crit Rev Microbiol. 2018 Jun 17:1-14. doi: 10.1080/1040841X.2018.1481013 Trudy M. Wassenaar Abstract To the multiple factors that may eventually result in colorectal cancer (CRC), strains of E. coli have now been added, in particular strains producing colibactin from their polyketide synthesis (pks) locus. The evidence and mechanistic explanations for this unfortunate effect of what is in […]
Reengineering Workflow for Curation of DICOM Datasets
J Digital Imaging (15 Jun 2018). https://doi.org/10.1007/s10278-018-0097-4 William Bennett, Kirk Smith, Quasar Jarosz, Tracy Nolan, Walter Bosch Abstract Reusable, publicly available data is a pillar of open science and rapid advancement of cancer imaging research. Sharing data from completed research studies not only saves research dollars required to collect data, but also helps insure that […]

Gene expression profile analysis of aortic vascular smooth muscle cells reveals upregulation of cadherin genes in myocardial infarction patients
Physiol Genomics. 2018 May 18. doi: 10.1152/physiolgenomics.00042.2017 Derda AA, Woo CC, Wongsurawat T, Richards M, Lee CN, Kofidis T, Kuznetsov VA, Sorokin VA Abstract Myocardial infarction (MI) induced by acute coronary arterial occlusion is usually secondary to atherosclerotic plaque rupture. Dysregulated response of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in atherosclerotic plaques may promote plaque rupture. […]

A Review of Connectivity Map and Computational Approaches in Pharmacogenomics
Briefings in Bioinformatics, 19(3):506-523 | DOI: 10.1093/bib/bbw112 Musa A., Ghoraie L.S., Zhang S.,Glazko G., Yli-Harja O., Dehmer M., Haibe-Kains B., Emmert-Streib F. Abstract Large-scale perturbation databases, such as Connectivity Map (CMap) or Library of Integrated Network-based Cellular Signatures (LINCS), provide enormous opportunities for computational pharmacogenomics and drug design. A reason for this is that in contrast […]
