According to the basis of clonal selection immune algorithm and hierarchical clustering, a dynamic clonal selection immune clustering algorithm is presented, which no pre-knowledge is needed. The proposed algorithm bases on antibody affinity, to recognize antigen, restrain and merge antibody. By using aiNET immune network model, the algorithm mutates location of antibodies, in which the mutating rate is dynamically adjusted with inverse proportion to the number of immune evolution generations. After dynamic mutation, the similar antibodies are merged again, and the same processes repeats until it meets the ending condition. Experimental results showed that the proposed algorithm is more coincidental reality of clustering and more preferable performance than traditional ones.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD), an age-associated neurodegenerative disorder, is characterized by progressive neuronal loss and the accumulation of misfolded proteins such as amyloid-β and tau. While neuroinflammation, mediated by microglia and brain-resident macrophages, plays a pivotal role in AD pathogenesis, the intricate interactions among age, genes, and other risk factors remain elusive. Somatic mutations, known to accumulate with age, instigate clonal expansion across diverse cell types, impacting both cancer and non-cancerous conditions.

Cancers can avoid immune-mediated elimination by acquiring traits that disrupt antitumour immunity. These mechanisms of immune evasion are selected and reinforced during tumour evolution under immune pressure. Some immunogenic subclones are effectively eliminated by antitumour T cell responses (a process known as immunoediting), which results in a clonally selected tumour.

Mastocytosis is a heterogeneous group of disorders, characterized by accumulation of clonal mast cells which can infiltrate several organs, most often spine (70%). The pathogenesis of mastocytosis bone disease is poorly understood. The main aim of the study was to investigate whether neoplastic mast cells may be the source of sclerostin and whether there is an association between sclerostin and selected bone remodeling markers with mastocytosis related bone disease.

Carbapenem-resistant complex (CR-ECC), which is rapidly increasing as the cause of nosocomial infections, has limited treatment options. The aim of this study is to investigate the microbiological and clinical traits and molecular epidemiology of isolates of CR-ECC and provide guidance for antibiotic selection in clinical practice. Clinical CR-ECC isolates (ertapenem MIC ≥ 2 mg/L) were collected from 2021 to 2022.

Following the identification of the self-compatibility gene () in diploid potatoes two decades ago, the breeding of inbred based diploid hybrid potatoes made its way. Tetraploid potatoes have a long history of cultivation through domestication and selection. Tetrasomic inheritance, heterozygosity and clonal propagation complicate genetic studies, resulting in a low genetic gain in potato breeding.
