Background And Aims: Serum protein electrophoresis interpretation requires a substantial amount of manual work. In 2020, Chabrun et al. created a machine learning method called SPECTR for the task.

Owing to the high heterogeneity of HGSOC, identifying the origin of the disease and optimal treatments is difficult. Here, we characterized two primary immortalized human ovarian cell lines, human ovarian surface epithelium (HOSE)1C and HOSE2C, comparing their molecular profiling with representative HGSOC cells.

Despite the vaccination programs, the new virus variants are circulating. Further research is required for understanding of the biology of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and for discovery of therapeutic agents against the virus.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFWe present a miniaturized immunofluorescence assay (mini-IFA) for measuring antibody response in patient blood samples. The method utilizes machine learning-guided image analysis and enables simultaneous measurement of immunoglobulin M (IgM), IgA, and IgG responses against different viral antigens in an automated and high-throughput manner. The assay relies on antigens expressed through transfection, enabling use at a low biosafety level and fast adaptation to emerging pathogens.
