Article Abstract
Unlabelled: The Automated Microarray Image Analysis (AMIA) Toolbox for MATLAB is a flexible, open-source, microarray image analysis tool that allows the user to customize analyses of microarray image sets. This tool provides several methods to identify and quantify spot statistics, as well as extensive diagnostic statistics and images to evaluate data quality and array processing. The open, modular nature of AMIA provides access to implementation details and encourages modification and extension of AMIA's capabilities.
Availability: The AMIA Toolbox is freely available at http://www.pnl.gov/statistics/amia. The AMIA Toolbox requires MATLAB 6.5 (R13) (MathWorks, Inc. Natick, MA), as well as the Statistics Toolbox 4.1 and Image Processing Toolbox 4.1 for MATLAB or more recent versions.
Background: Glioblastoma (GB) is the stage IV of glioma and mesenchymal GB represents the most common and malignant subtype characterized with elevated expression of a mesenchymal marker YKL-40 and resistance to immune drug therapy. Here, we determined if YKL-40 regulates kynurenine (Kyn) pathway (KP) metabolism that contributes to establishing an immune suppressive microenvironment in GB.
Methods: Tumor cells expressing YKL-40 from GB patients were isolated and activated cellular metabolisms were identified via gene microarray analysis.
Background: Keloids are growing scars that arise from injury to the reticular dermis and subsequent chronic local inflammation. The latter may be promoted by vascular hyperpermeability, which permits the ingress of chronic inflammatory cells/factors. Cutaneous capillaries consist of endothelial cells that generate, and are anchored by, a vascular basement membrane (VBM).

RORA is a gene linked to the development and function of the cerebellum, and this study explores the largest group of individuals with RORA-related neurodevelopmental disorders (RORA-NDD).
The study involved 40 participants with various pathogenic variants of RORA, revealing a range of clinical features including developmental and intellectual disabilities, as well as cerebellar symptoms that can vary in onset and severity.
Findings indicate that certain missense variants are associated with more severe cerebellar issues, and common elements of RORA-NDD include developmental disabilities, cerebellar symptoms, and different types of myoclonic epilepsy.

Background: Blake's pouch cyst (BPC) is a midline cystic anomaly of the posterior fossa. BPC has been shown to have a risk of aneuploidy prenatally. Copy number variation (CNV) and/or genetic syndromes have been reported in a few prenatal/postnatal cases with BPC.
RO and ChRCC are kidney tumours with overlapping characteristics, making differentiation between them challenging. The objective of this research is to create a radiogenomics map by correlating radiomic features to molecular phenotypes in ChRCC and RO, using resection as the gold standard. Fourteen patients (6 RO and 8 ChRCC) were included in the prospective study.
