Basic fibroblast growth factor is critical to reprogramming buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) primordial germ cells into embryonic germ stem cell-like cells.

Theriogenology
Primordial germ cells (PGCs) are destined to form gametes in vivo, and they can be reprogrammed into pluripotent embryonic germ (EG) cells in vitro. Buffalo PGC have been reported to be reprogrammed into EG-like cells, but the identities of the major...

Spatial dispersal of bacterial colonies induces a dynamical transition from local to global quorum sensing.

Physical review. E
Bacteria communicate using external chemical signals called autoinducers (AI) in a process known as quorum sensing (QS). QS efficiency is reduced by both limitations of AI diffusion and potential interference from neighboring strains. There is thus a...

Predictive diagnosis of major depression using NMR-based metabolomics and least-squares support vector machine.

Clinica chimica acta; international journal of clinical chemistry
BACKGROUND: Major depressive (MD) disorder is a serious psychiatric disorder that can result in suicidal behavior if not treated. The MD diagnosis using a standardized instrument instead of a structured interview will be advantageous for treatment an...

The method for breast cancer grade prediction and pathway analysis based on improved multiple kernel learning.

Journal of bioinformatics and computational biology
Breast cancer histologic grade represents the morphological assessment of the tumor's malignancy and aggressiveness, which is vital in clinically planning treatment and estimating prognosis for patients. Therefore, the prediction of breast cancer gra...

Analysis of Important Gene Ontology Terms and Biological Pathways Related to Pancreatic Cancer.

BioMed research international
Pancreatic cancer is a serious disease that results in more than thirty thousand deaths around the world per year. To design effective treatments, many investigators have devoted themselves to the study of biological processes and mechanisms underlyi...

Modelling with ANIMO: between fuzzy logic and differential equations.

BMC systems biology
BACKGROUND: Computational support is essential in order to reason on the dynamics of biological systems. We have developed the software tool ANIMO (Analysis of Networks with Interactive MOdeling) to provide such computational support and allow insigh...

Confirming an integrated pathology of diabetes and its complications by molecular biomarker-target network analysis.

Molecular medicine reports
Despite ongoing research into diabetes and its complications, the underlying molecular associations remain to be elucidated. The systematic identification of molecular interactions in associated diseases may be approached using a network analysis str...

Classification of Motor Imagery EEG Signals with Support Vector Machines and Particle Swarm Optimization.

Computational and mathematical methods in medicine
Support vector machines are powerful tools used to solve the small sample and nonlinear classification problems, but their ultimate classification performance depends heavily upon the selection of appropriate kernel and penalty parameters. In this st...
