BACKGROUND: The incidence and mortality of endometrial cancer (EC) is on the rise. Eighty-five percent of ECs depend on estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) for proliferation, but little is known about its transcriptional regulation in these tumors.

BACKGROUND: Diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) is currently one of the fastest developing MRI-based techniques in oncology. Histogram properties from model fitting of DWI are useful features for differentiation of lesions, and classification can potentiall...
Estrogen receptor α (ERα) plays a significant role in occurrence of breast cancer and may cause various adverse side-effects when ERα is an off-target protein. A theoretical model was derived to predict the binding affinity of ERα using the pharmacop...

BACKGROUND: Oncotype Dx is a validated genetic analysis that provides a recurrence score (RS) to quantitatively predict outcomes in patients who meet the criteria of estrogen receptor positive / human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 negative (ER+/...
We propose an effective machine learning approach to identify group of interacting single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), which contribute most to the breast cancer (BC) risk by assuming dependencies among BCAC iCOGS SNPs. We adopt a gradient tree b...

Breast cancer is a leading cancer type and one of the major health issues faced by women around the world. Some of its major risk factors include body mass index, hormone replacement therapy, family history and germline mutations. Of these risk facto...
DNA-encoded small molecule libraries (DELs) have enabled discovery of novel inhibitors for many distinct protein targets of therapeutic value. We demonstrate a new approach applying machine learning to DEL selection data by identifying active molecul...
Breast cancer ranks as the second leading cause of death among women, but early screening and self-awareness can help prevent it. Hormone therapy drugs that target estrogen levels offer potential treatments. However, conventional drug discovery entai...
Over the past decades, exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), a group of synthetic chemicals notorious for their environmental persistence, has been shown to pose increased health risks. Despite that some PFAS were reported to have e...
