Children efficiently develop their visual systems through learning from their environment. How this development unfolds in noisy real-world data streams remains largely unknown. Deep neural...
Vaccines have played a major role in protecting human health as one of the key means of controlling infectious diseases. More than 20 high-risk diseases can be currently prevented through va...
De novo gene synthesis and protein expression are established technologies that can give access to nearly any target DNA or protein sequence, allowing for engineering of biologics. In this p...
The use of medically unsupervised cannabis use is exponentially growing in the USA. Healthcare providers need to not only recognize this fact but embrace it with the goal of avoiding drug-dr...
Progress developing immune-based treatments to treat the highly lethal pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) has lagged behind other cancer types. This may be due, in part, to a fibroinflam...
Selective vulnerability of brain regions and specific neural populations in neurodegeneration remains little understood. We hypothesize that pre-existing physiological differences in neurons...
The objective of this randomized, blinded controlled trial was to evaluate the safety and relative effects of different formulations containing Cannabidiol (CBD) and melatonin, with and with...
Over the past five years there has been an explosion of research the deep learning field. Companies like Google, Facebook, and OpenAI have created neural networks that are significantly more...
Genomic imbalances or copy number variations (CNVs) are a major cause of pregnancy losses, fetal anomalies identified during prenatal period, congenital defects in newborn, dysmorphology and...
Learning Objectives: 1. Understand how the outcome of PD-1 blockade is a summation of increased Teffector activity and increased Treg suppressive activity 2. Explain how PD-1 blockade leads...
Moving the needle on legalization, the cannabis industry has seen significant growth in the past year. However, this growth has had its dampeners, such as THC potency inflation and rampant l...
The personalized treatment of each cancer patient with targeted therapies selected based on our understanding of the molecular biology of cancer has been the long-standing goal of......
Neurological manifestations, including headache, altered mental status, and stroke, are a major complication of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and cor...
In the past years, next-generation sequencing has revolutionized the way testing is done in the field of clinical oncology research. Parallel testing of genomic markers in tissue biopsies as...
Single cell isolation is a necessary step for a variety of applications from developing productive, stable cell lines for biologics manufacturing to developing CRISPR edited iPSCs for diseas...
Currently we have a chronic pain and mental health epidemic with excessive prescriptions for ssri benzos and opioids. People are unable to feel and process pain. Chronic stress can lead to c...
Helicobacter pylori is the primary cause of 78% of gastric cancer cases, providing an opportunity to prevent cancer by controlling a single bacterial pathogen within the complex gastric micr...
Explainable AI (XAI) aims at helping you understand and interpret predictions made by AI techniques and tools. Recently, there has been a growing interest in XAI as many users want explanati...
Cells in their natural environment are surrounded by a complex extracellular matrix that provides structure and functional cues to the surrounding cells. Hydrogels can be used to approximate...
Behavior in complex environments requires decisions that flexibly combine stimulus representations with context, goals, and memory. Two key aspects of such cognitive flexibility are the retr...
One role of theory is in guiding future experiments: What should we aim to measure? Which experimental results should we be surprised about? I will argue here that simple random networks mod...
In the field of oncology, the ability to select cells from a specific location or region within a tissue and analyze each discrete genome allows for the understanding of tumor heterogeneity....
The Allen Institute for Cell Science is generating a state space of stem cell signatures. The goal is to understand cell organization, identify cell states, and elucidate how cells transitio...
α-synuclein (-syn) is a small presynaptic protein linked to the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and related disorders, collectively called synucleinopathies. Phosphoryl...
Targeted sequencing has many applications in cancer biomarker research, carrier screening and inherited disorders, drug development, mitochondrial DNA variant detection, human ID and paterni...
Learning Objectives: 1. Delineate the goals of studies of brain, computation and behavior and how they can be integrated. 2. Describe how neuromodulators such as oxytocin transform circuits...
