Adverse cardiovascular events are emerging with the use of immune checkpoint therapies in oncology. Using datasets in the Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine program (Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis, Jackson Heart Study [JHS], and Framingham Heart Study), we examined the association of immune checkpoint plasma proteins with each other, their associated protein network with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and the association of HDL-C- and LDL-C-associated protein networks with all-cause mortality risk. Plasma levels of LAG3 and HAVCR2 showed statistically significant associations with mortality risk.

3D-printed biomedical polylactic acid (PLA) scaffolds were developed, and their biodegradation, as well as their thermomechanical behavior, were studied in a relevant in vitro environment. The scaffold's biodegradability profile has been monitored after immersion in a cell culture medium that contains components of blood and body fluids. Two types of biodegradation experiments were performed-a standard static one and an adapted stirring one, mimicking the body fluids' flow, respectively-to achieve a comparative investigation.

We propose a method for imaging in scattering media when large and diverse datasets are available. It has two steps. Using a dictionary learning algorithm the first step estimates the true Green's function vectors as columns in an unordered sensing matrix.

Transcriptome prediction models built with data from European-descent individuals are less accurate when applied to different populations because of differences in linkage disequilibrium patterns and allele frequencies. We hypothesized that methods that leverage shared regulatory effects across different conditions, in this case, across different populations, may improve cross-population transcriptome prediction. To test this hypothesis, we made transcriptome prediction models for use in transcriptome-wide association studies (TWASs) using different methods (elastic net, joint-tissue imputation [JTI], matrix expression quantitative trait loci [Matrix eQTL], multivariate adaptive shrinkage in R [MASHR], and transcriptome-integrated genetic association resource [TIGAR]) and tested their out-of-sample transcriptome prediction accuracy in population-matched and cross-population scenarios.
