The Basics of Artificial Intelligence in Nursing: Fundamentals and Recommendations for Educators.

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) offers exciting possibilities; however, AI is a double-edged sword. The adoption of this technology offers many benefits but also presents risks to academic integrity and appropriately prepared graduates. Many of today's nurse educators are from generations that are unlikely to possess an understanding of AI.

The Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia enables predictive modelling of anticancer drug sensitivity.

The systematic translation of cancer genomic data into knowledge of tumour biology and therapeutic possibilities remains challenging. Such efforts should be greatly aided by robust preclinical model systems that reflect the genomic diversity of human cancers and for which detailed genetic and pharmacological annotation is available. Here we describe the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE): a compilation of gene expression, chromosomal copy number and massively parallel sequencing data from 947 human cancer cell lines.

The development and applications of nonradioactive plate-formatted DNA-binding assay for Ku70/80, a multifunctional DNA-binding protein complex.

Ku is a heterodimer composed of p70 and p80, and is the regulatory subunit of DNA-dependent protein kinase. As a multifunctional DNA-binding protein complex, Ku plays important roles in DNA damage repair through non-homologous end joining and in V(D)J recombination. In addition, Ku has also been implicated in various biological functions including growth control, cell proliferation, cell cycle, chromosome maintenance, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, and viral infection.

Molecular dissection of the ST8Sia IV polysialyltransferase. Distinct domains are required for neural cell adhesion molecule recognition and polysialylation.

Polysialic acid, a homopolymer of alpha2,8-linked sialic acid expressed on the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM), is thought to play critical roles in neural development. Two highly homologous polysialyltransferases, ST8Sia II and ST8Sia IV, which belong to the sialyltransferase gene family, synthesize polysialic acid on NCAM. By contrast, ST8Sia III, which is moderately homologous to ST8Sia II and ST8Sia IV, adds oligosialic acid to itself but very inefficiently to NCAM.
