Single-Cell Transcriptomics Reveals a Differential Response of Human Bronchial Epithelial Cell-Types to Cadmium Chloride

Exposure of cells or tissues to chemical compounds can be analyzed through transcriptomic signatures, which can be used to classify chemical agents. This information can also enrich Adverse Outcome Pathways (AOP). Transcriptional signatures have …

Reconstructing Sewer Network Topology Using Graph Theory

To manage sewer networks, reliable data is needed, which is often challenging. This study proposes a novel methodology to reconstruct the sewer network topology using graph theory. Two core procedures—flow adjustment and edge addition—re-establish …

A New Similarity Based Adapted Louvain Algorithm (SIMBA) for Active Module Identification in p-Value Attributed Biological Networks

Real-world networks, such as biological networks, often exhibit complex structures and have attributes associated with nodes, which leads to significant challenges for analysis and modeling. Community detection algorithms can help identify groups of …

Using Weak Signals to Predict Spontaneous Breathing Trial Success: A Machine Learning Approach

Weaning from mechanical ventilation (MV) is a key phase in the management of intensive care unit (ICU) patient. According to the WEAN SAFE study, weaning from MV initiation is defined as the first attempt to separate a patient from the ventilator and …

CELF2 Sustains a Proliferating/OLIG2+ Glioblastoma Cell Phenotype via the Epigenetic Repression of SOX3

Glioblastomas (GBs) are incurable brain tumors. The persistence of aggressive stem-like tumor cells after cytotoxic treatments compromises therapeutic efficacy, leading to GBM recurrence. Forcing the GBM cells to irreversibly abandon their aggressive …

A Network Embedding Approach to Identify Active Modules in Biological Interaction Networks

The identification of condition-specific gene sets from transcriptomic experiments is important to reveal regulatory and signaling mechanisms associated with a given cellular response. Statistical methods of differential expression analysis, designed …

Evolutionary Divergence of Phosphorylation to Regulate Interactive Protein Networks in Lower and Higher Species

The phosphorylation of proteins affects their functions in extensively documented circumstances. However, the role of phosphorylation in many interactive networks of proteins remains very elusive due to the experimental limits of exploring the …

Persistent Properties of a Subpopulation of Cancer Cells Overexpressing the Hedgehog Receptor Patched

Despite the development of new therapeutic strategies, cancer remains one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. One of the current major challenges is the resistance of cancers to chemotherapy treatments inducing metastases and relapse of the …

SETMAR Shorter Isoform: A New Prognostic Factor in Glioblastoma

Recent evidence suggests that the chimeric protein SETMAR is a factor of interest in cancer, especially in glioblastoma. However, little is known about the expression of this protein in glioblastoma tissues, and no study has been done to assess if …
