FGF5 functions as a negative regulator of the hair cycle in mammals. It is expressed in the outer root sheath of hair follicles during the late anagen phase of the hair cycle. It functions as a signaling molecule, mediating the transition of the anagen growth phase to catagen regression phase of the hair cycle. Spontaneous and engineered FGF5 mutations in mammalian animal models result in long hair phenotypes. In humans, inherited FGF5 mutations result in trichomegaly (long eyelashes). Knockdown of fgf5 in zebrafish embryos results in inner ear alterations. Alterations in FGF5 expression are also associated with various human pathologies.

Dew: A Wavelet Approach Of Rare Sound Event Detection

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

This paper presents a novel sound event detection (SED) system for rare events occurring in an open environment. Wavelet multiresolution analysis (MRA) is used to decompose the input audio clip of 30 seconds into five levels. Wavelet denoising is then applied on the third and fifth levels of MRA to filter out the background. Significant transitions, which may represent the onset of a rare event, are then estimated in these two levels by combining the peak-finding algorithm with the K-medoids clustering algorithm. The small portions of one-second duration, called 'chunks' are cropped from the input audio signal corresponding to the …

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) function as potent mediators of intercellular communication for many in vivo processes, contributing to both health and disease related conditions. Given their biological origins and diverse functionality from correspondingly unique "cargo" compositions, both endogenous and modified EVs are garnering attention as promising therapeutic modalities and vehicles for targeted therapeutic delivery applications. Their diversity in composition, however, has revealed a significant need for more comprehensive analytical-based characterization methods, and manufacturing processes that are consistent and scalable. In this review, we explore the dynamic landscape of EV research and development efforts, ranging from novel isolation approaches, to their analytical …

Monet: A Database For Prediction Of Neoantigens Derived From Microsatellite Loci, Nan Deng, Krishna M Sinha, Eduardo Vilar

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

BACKGROUND: Microsatellite instability (MSI) secondary to mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency is characterized by insertions and deletions (indels) in short DNA sequences across the genome. These indels can generate neoantigens, which are ideal targets for precision immune interception. However, current neoantigen databases lack information on neoantigens arising from coding microsatellites. To address this gap, we introduce The MicrOsatellite Neoantigen Discovery Tool (MONET).

METHOD: MONET identifies potential mutated tumor-specific neoantigens (neoAgs) by predicting frameshift mutations in coding microsatellite sequences of the human genome. Then MONET annotates these neoAgs with key features such as binding affinity, stability, expression, frequency, and potential pathogenicity using …

One of the key contributions of this study is the reappropriation of standard DL outputs as a quality indicator to identify cases that clinicians should review further. The authors achieve this by applying an empirically derived threshold to the softmax output of their DL network, computing the mean of the thresholded score map (termed the HiS metric), and correlating it with standard geometric quality indices. When juxtaposed with a mean entropy — a commonly used measure of model output uncertainty — HiS consistently demonstrated a stronger correlation with the geometric indices, suggesting its superior ability to stratify cases needing additional …

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Resident stem/progenitor cells within the secretory salivary glands offer a potential therapeutic resource for use in the regeneration of salivary glands needed to restore saliva production in patients with chronic xerostomia, or dry mouth. Methods were developed previously to isolate human stem/progenitor cells (hS/PCs) from major salivary glands (parotid/submandibular). Abundant minor salivary glands located in readily accessible locations in the oral cavity and lip could provide an additional valuable therapeutic resource. An advantage of this cell resource is that these minor glands about the size of grape seeds can be harvested from healthy donors using minimally invasive surgical procedures. The …

Pet Image Denoising Based On Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Model, Kuang Gong, Keith Johnson, Georges El Fakhri, Quanzheng Li, Tinsu Pan

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Purpose: Due to various physical degradation factors and limited counts received, PET image quality needs further improvements. The denoising diffusion probabilistic model (DDPM) was a distribution learning-based model, which tried to transform a normal distribution into a specific data distribution based on iterative refinements. In this work, we proposed and evaluated different DDPM-based methods for PET image denoising.

Methods: Under the DDPM framework, one way to perform PET image denoising was to provide the PET image and/or the prior image as the input. Another way was to supply the prior image as the network input with the PET image included …

Introduction: Effective infiltration of chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells into solid tumors is critical for achieving a robust antitumor response and improving therapeutic outcomes. While CAR-T cell therapies have succeeded in hematologic malignancies, their efficacy in solid tumors remains limited due to poor tumor penetration and an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of low-dose radiotherapy (LDRT) administered before T-cell therapy to enhance the antitumor effect by promoting CAR-T cell infiltration. We hypothesized that combining LDRT with T-cell therapy would improve tumor control and survival compared to either treatment alone.

Methods: We investigated this hypothesis …

Fc Gamma Receptors Promote Antibody-Induced Lilrb4 Internalization And Immune Regulation Of Monocytic Aml, Joshua W Morse, Xun Gui, Mi Deng, Ryan Huang, Xiaohua Ye, Xuejun Fan, Chengcheng Zhang, Ningyan Zhang, Zhiqiang An

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

The immune checkpoint leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor B4 (LILRB4) is found specifically on the cell surface of acute monocytic leukemia (monocytic AML), an aggressive and common subtype of AML. We have developed a humanized monoclonal IgG1 LILRB4-blocking antibody (h128-3), which improved immune regulation but reduced cell surface expression of LILRB4 in monocytic AML models by 40–60%. Interestingly, most of this effect was neutralized by mutation of the Fc region of the antibody (h128-3/N297A), which prevents interaction with Fc gamma receptors (FcγRs). This suggested that there is FcγR-dependent antigenic modulation underlying h128-3’s effects, a mechanism known to alter the function of antibodies …

Hypoxia-Adenosine Axis As Therapeutic Targets For Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Holger Klaus Eltzschig

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

The human respiratory and circulatory systems collaborate intricately to ensure oxygen delivery to all cells, which is vital for ATP production and maintaining physiological functions and structures. During limited oxygen availability, hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) are stabilized and play a fundamental role in maintaining cellular processes for hypoxia adaptation. First discovered during investigations of erythropoietin production regulation, HIFs influence physiological and pathological processes, including development, inflammation, wound healing, and cancer. HIFs promote extracellular adenosine signaling by enhancing adenosine generation and receptor signaling, representing an endogenous feedback mechanism that curbs excessive inflammation, supports injury resolution, and enhances hypoxia tolerance. This is especially …
