Immune-enhanced machine learning approach for early detection of precancerous colorectal neoplasia: Insights from biomarkers in routine health checkups.

European journal of cancer (Oxford, England : 1990)
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Current screening strategies for colorectal cancer (CRC) rely on colonoscopy, an invasive procedure with limited capacity to address individual risk. There is growing interest in integrating noninvasive immune biomarkers to impro...

Recognition of molecular clusters and a novel prognostic signature based on natural killer cell-related genes in skin cutaneous melanoma.

World journal of surgical oncology
BACKGROUND: Skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM) is the third most common type of cutaneous malignant tumor with a poor prognosis. This research aimed to recognize molecular clusters and develop a novel prognostic signature based on natural killer (NK) cel...

In-depth bioinformatics analysis uncovers the crosstalk genes and immune interactions among diagnostic markers linked to natural killer cells in patients with cirrhosis and sepsis.

Clinical and experimental medicine
Patients with cirrhosis face an elevated risk of developing sepsis, leading to an escalating mortality rate. This study focuses on the link between natural killer (NK) cells, cirrhosis, and sepsis. Our goal is to identify NK cell-related genes that c...

TRAF3 as a potential diagnostic biomarker for recurrent pregnancy loss: insights from single-cell transcriptomics and machine learning.

BMC pregnancy and childbirth
BACKGROUND: Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), characterized by multiple miscarriages, remains a condition with unclear etiology, posing significant challenges for affected women and couples. This study aims to explore the underlying mechanisms of RPL, ...

Machine learning-based diagnostic and prognostic models for breast cancer: a new frontier on the clinical application of natural killer cell-related gene signatures in precision medicine.

Frontiers in immunology
BACKGROUND: Breast cancer (BC) remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality among women worldwide. Natural killer (NK) cells play a crucial role in the innate immune system and exhibit significant anti-tumor activity. However, the role of NK c...

NIR-II AIEgen with high photothermal efficiency for mild PTT: Optimized natural killer cell spatial distribution for boosted immune response.

Biomaterials
Organic photothermal agents (PTAs) with high photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE) and biocompatibility are ideal for mild photothermal therapy (PTT), which can selectively eliminate tumor cells and elicit an active immune response. However, the c...

Cellular Senescence in Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Immune Microenvironment Insights via Machine Learning and In Vitro Experiments.

International journal of molecular sciences
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a leading liver tumor globally, is influenced by diverse risk factors. Cellular senescence, marked by permanent cell cycle arrest, plays a crucial role in cancer biology, but its markers and roles in the HCC immune mic...

Predicting patients with septic shock and sepsis through analyzing whole-blood expression of NK cell-related hub genes using an advanced machine learning framework.

Frontiers in immunology
BACKGROUND: Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that causes millions of deaths globally each year. The need for biomarkers to predict the progression of sepsis to septic shock remains critical, with rapid, reliable methods still lacking. Transcrip...

Machine learning identification of NK cell immune characteristics in hepatocellular carcinoma based on single-cell sequencing and bulk RNA sequencing.

Genes & genomics
BACKGROUND: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly malignant tumor; however, its immune microenvironment and mechanisms remain elusive. Single-cell sequencing allows for the exploration of immune characteristics within tumor at the cellular level...

Stem-cell based, machine learning approach for optimizing natural killer cell-based personalized immunotherapy for high-grade ovarian cancer.

The FEBS journal
Advanced high-grade serous ovarian cancer continues to be a therapeutic challenge for those affected using the current therapeutic interventions. There is an increasing interest in personalized cancer immunotherapy using activated natural killer (NK)...
