Automatic Comparative Chest Radiography Using Deep Neural Networks by Redwan Sony, Carolyn V. Isaac, Alexis Vanbaarle, Clara J. Devota, Todd Fenton, Joseph T. Hefner, Arun Ross

“…We then explored three families of deep neural networks, each selected for its unique strengths in addressing specific challenges in deep learning for processing these ROIs as well as the entire radiograph. Our experiments reveal several compelling findings: (a) the thoracic vertebrae from T1-T5 results in better recognition performance compared to other regions; (b) Efficient Nets result in better recognition accuracy compared to ResNets and DenseNets; and (c) an ensemble of models based on different networks and different ROIs further improves recognition accuracy. …”

Tumor-derived exosomal lncRNA-MIR193BHG promotes bone metastasis of breast cancer by targeting the miR-489-3p/DNMT3A signaling axis in osteoclasts by Xiaoya Liu, Rui Ma, Feng Wei, Maihuan Wang, Yiwei Jiang, Peng Zheng, Zhen Cao

“…LncRNA-MIR193BHG was delivered to osteoclasts via exosomes and promoted osteoclast formation and activity by targeting the miR-489-3p/DNA methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) signaling axis, thereby accelerating breast cancer-induced osteolysis. Knockdown experiments demonstrated that reducing the levels of exosomal lncRNA-MIR193BHG significantly inhibited osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption, which was confirmed both in vitro and in vivo. …”
