HBV Remodels PP2A Complexes to Rewire Kinase Signaling in Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections promote liver cancer initiation by inducing inflammation and cellular stress. Despite the primarily indirect effect on oncogenesis, HBV is associated with a recurrent genomic phenotype in HCC, suggesting that it impacts the biology of established HCC. Characterization of the interaction of HBV with host proteins and the mechanistic contributions of HBV to HCC initiation and maintenance could provide insights into HCC biology and uncover therapeutic vulnerabilities.

Dual scale light weight cross attention transformer for skin lesion classification.

Skin cancer is rapidly growing globally. In the past decade, an automated diagnosis system has been developed using image processing and machine learning. The machine learning methods require hand-crafted features, which may affect performance.

EDTNet: A spatial aware attention-based transformer for the pulmonary nodule segmentation.

Accurate segmentation of lung lesions in CT-scan images is essential to diagnose lung cancer. The challenges in lung nodule diagnosis arise due to their small size and diverse nature. We designed a transformer-based model EDTNet (Encoder Decoder Transformer Network) for PNS (Pulmonary Nodule Segmentation).

Assembly, comparative analysis, and utilization of a single haplotype reference genome for soybean.

Cultivar Williams 82 has served as the reference genome for the soybean research community since 2008, but is known to have areas of genomic heterogeneity among different sub-lines. This work provides an updated assembly (version Wm82.a6) derived from a specific sub-line known as Wm82-ISU-01 (seeds available under USDA accession PI 704477).
