Machine learning analysis of CD4+ T cell gene expression in diverse diseases: insights from cancer, metabolic, respiratory, and digestive disorders.

CD4 T cells play a pivotal role in the immune system, particularly in adaptive immunity, by orchestrating and enhancing immune responses. CD4 T cell-related immune responses exhibit diverse characteristics in different diseases. This study utilizes gene expression analysis of CD4 T cells to classify and understand complex diseases.

Recognizing SARS-CoV-2 infection of nasopharyngeal tissue at the single-cell level by machine learning method.

SARS-CoV-2 has posed serious global health challenges not only because of the high degree of virus transmissibility but also due to its severe effects on the respiratory system, such as inducing changes in multiple organs through the ACE2 receptor. This virus makes changes to gene expression at the single-cell level and thus to cellular functions and immune responses in a variety of cell types. Previous studies have not been able to resolve these mechanisms fully, and so our study tries to bridge knowledge gaps about the cellular responses under conditions of infection.

Identification of Key Genes in Fetal Gut Development at Single-Cell Level by Exploiting Machine Learning Techniques.

The study of fetal gut development is critical due to its substantial influence on immediate neonatal and long-term adult health. Current research largely focuses on microbiome colonization, gut immunity, and barrier function, alongside the impact of external factors on these phenomena. Limited research has been dedicated to the categorization of developing fetal gut cells.

Exploring Prognostic Gene Factors in Breast Cancer via Machine Learning.

Breast cancer remains the most prevalent cancer in women. To date, its underlying molecular mechanisms have not been fully uncovered. The determination of gene factors is important to improve our understanding on breast cancer, which can correlate the specific gene expression and tumor staging.

Identifying genes associated with resistance to KRAS G12C inhibitors via machine learning methods.

Background: Targeted therapy has revolutionized cancer treatment, greatly improving patient outcomes and quality of life. Lung cancer, specifically non-small cell lung cancer, is frequently driven by the G12C mutation at the KRAS locus. The development of KRAS inhibitors has been a breakthrough in the field of cancer research, given the crucial role of KRAS mutations in driving tumor growth and progression.

Machine Learning Classification of Time since BNT162b2 COVID-19 Vaccination Based on Array-Measured Antibody Activity.

Vaccines trigger an immunological response that includes B and T cells, with B cells producing antibodies. SARS-CoV-2 immunity weakens over time after vaccination. Discovering key changes in antigen-reactive antibodies over time after vaccination could help improve vaccine efficiency.

Identification of genes related to immune enhancement caused by heterologous ChAdOx1-BNT162b2 vaccines in lymphocytes at single-cell resolution with machine learning methods.

The widely used ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (ChAd) vector and BNT162b2 (BNT) mRNA vaccines have been shown to induce robust immune responses. Recent studies demonstrated that the immune responses of people who received one dose of ChAdOx1 and one dose of BNT were better than those of people who received vaccines with two homologous ChAdOx1 or two BNT doses. However, how heterologous vaccines function has not been extensively investigated.

Identification of Smoking-Associated Transcriptome Aberration in Blood with Machine Learning Methods.

Long-term cigarette smoking causes various human diseases, including respiratory disease, cancer, and gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. Alterations in gene expression and variable splicing processes induced by smoking are associated with the development of diseases. This study applied advanced machine learning methods to identify the isoforms with important roles in distinguishing smokers from former smokers based on the expression profile of isoforms from current and former smokers collected in one previous study.

Adsorption-Hydration Sequence Method for Methane Storage in Porous Material Slurry.

Porous materials are deemed to be capable for promoting hydrate formation, while for the purpose of hydrate-based gas storage, those systems containing porous materials often cannot meet the requirement of high storage density. To increase the storage density, an adsorption-hydration sequence method was designed and systematically examined in this study. Methane storage and release in ZIF-8 slurries and fixed beds were investigated.

Biological formation of 5-aminolevulinic acid by photosynthetic bacteria.

In this study, 7 stains of Rhodopseudomonas sp. were selected from 36 photosynthetic bacteria stains storied in our laboratory. Rhodopseudomonas sp.
