Article Synopsis
- The study addresses the urgent need for reliable biomarkers in oncology, proposing a new technique that compares gene expression in tumor and healthy tissue from the same patient to improve biomarker selection.
- Focusing on carcinoma, the research identified 27 key genes that effectively differentiate between healthy and cancerous tissues and accurately pinpoint the origin of various carcinoma types.
- The method enhances the robustness and interpretability of machine learning models in identifying cancer biomarkers and is suggested as a reference approach for future research in biomarker discovery.
Genome-wide association studies of human personality have been carried out, but transcription of the whole genome has not been studied in relation to personality in humans. We collected genome-wide expression profiles of adults to characterize the regulation of expression and function in genes related to human personality. We devised an innovative multi-omic approach to network analysis to identify the key control elements and interactions in multi-modular networks.

Design: Prospective, observational, before and after study.
Importance: Handwriting and the fine motor control (hand and fingers) underlying it are key indicators of numerous motor disorders, especially among children. However, current assessment methods are expensive, slow, and subjective, leading to a lack of knowledge about the relationship between handwriting and motor control.
Objective: To develop and validate the iPad precision drawing app Standardized Tracing Evaluation and Grapheme Assessment (STEGA) to enable rapid quantitative assessment of fine motor control and handwriting.
Introduction: Helping others within and beyond the family has been related to living a healthy and long life. Compassion is a prosocial personality trait characterized by concern for another person who is suffering and the motivation to help. The current study examines whether epigenetic aging is a potential biological mechanism that explains the link between prosociality and longevity.
