Prediction of postoperative infection through early-stage salivary microbiota following kidney transplantation using machine learning techniques.

Kidney transplantation (KT) is an effective treatment for end-stage renal disease; however, the lifelong immunosuppressive regimen increases the risk of infection, presenting significant clinical, and economic challenges. Identifying predictive biomarkers for infection onset is critical. In this study, 122 postoperative saliva samples from 39 KT recipients were analyzed using 16S rRNA sequencing, ...

Machine learning-assisted multi-dimensional transcriptomic analysis of cytoskeleton-related molecules and their relationship with prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, with a poor prognosis due to its aggressive nature and limited treatment options. Cytoskeletal dynamics play a critical role in tumor progression, but the prognostic and therapeutic potential of cytoskeleton-related genes in HCC remains underexplored. In this study, transcriptomic data from the TCGA-LIHC dataset w...
