Background: MYB is predicted to be a favorable prognostic predictor in a breast cancer population. We proposed to find the inferred mechanism(s) relevant to the prognostic features of MYB via a supervised network analysis.

Methods: Both coefficient of intrinsic dependence (CID) and Galton Pierson's correlation coefficient (GPCC) were combined and designated as CIDUGPCC. It is for the univariate network analysis. Multivariate CID is for the multivariate network analysis. Other analyses using bioinformatic tools and statistical methods are included.

Results: ARNT2 is predicted to be the essential gene partner of MYB. We classified four prognostic relevant gene subpools in three breast cancer cohorts as feature types I-IV. Only the probes in feature type II are the potential prognostic feature of MYB. Moreover, we further validated 41 prognosis relevant probes to be the favorable prognostic signature. Surprisingly, two additional family members of MYB are elevated to promote poor prognosis when both levels of MYB and ARNT2 decline. Both MYBL1 and MYBL2 may partially decrease the tumor suppressive activities that are predicted to be up-regulated by MYB and ARNT2.

Conclusions: The major prognostic feature of MYB is predicted to be determined by the MYB subnetwork (41 probes) that is relevant across subtypes.

Background: Major decision-making self-efficacy (MDMSE) is an important indicator of students' ability to make effective decisions in specialty selection. It has implications for students' personal growth and career counselling interventions. While the previous MDMSES has been widely used in the context of China's New College Entrance Examination reform, the increased choice of majors and advancement of career planning necessitate a new scale to assess high school students' MDMSE levels.

Background: The aging of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) impairs bone tissue regeneration, contributing to skeletal disorders. LncRNA NEAT1 is considered as a proliferative inhibitory role during cellular senescence, but the relevant mechanisms remain insufficient. This study aims to elucidate how NEAT1 regulates mitotic proteins during BMSCs aging.

The human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG) channel plays a critical role in the electrical activity of the heart, and its blockers can cause serious cardiotoxic effects. Thus, screening for hERG channel blockers is a crucial step in the drug development process. Many in silico models have been developed to predict hERG blockers, which can efficiently save time and resources.
