OPTIMIZING PREDICTIVE FEATURES USING MACHINE LEARNING FOR EARLY MISCARRIAGE RISK FOLLOWING SINGLE VITRIFIED-WARMED BLASTOCYST TRANSFER

Optimizing predictive features using machine learning for early miscarriage risk following single vitrified-warmed blastocyst transfer

Research questionCan machine learning models accurately predict the risk of early miscarriage following single vitrified-warmed blastocyst transfer (SVBT)?DesignA dual-center retrospective analysis of 1,664 SVBT cycles, including 308 early miscarriage cases, was conducted across two reproductive centers.Multiple machine learning models, such as Log

Three-Dimensional Models as a New Frontier for Studying the Role of Proteoglycans in the Normal and Malignant Breast Microenvironment

The extracellular matrix (ECM) provides Collections cues to direct mammogenesis, tumourigenesis and metastatic processes.Over the past several decades, two-dimensional (2D) culture models have been invaluable in furthering our understanding of the tumor microenvironment (TME), however, they still do not accurately emulate the associated biological

Pangolins Lack IFIH1/MDA5, a Cytoplasmic RNA Sensor That Initiates Innate Immune Defense Upon Coronavirus Infection

Zoonotic infections are an imminent threat to human health.Pangolins were recently identified as carriers and intermediate hosts of coronaviruses.Previous research has shown that infection with coronaviruses activates an innate immune response upon sensing of viral RNA by interferon-induced with helicase C domain 1 (IFIH1), also known as MDA5.Here,
