Sequence-based predictive modeling to identify cancerlectins
Lectins are a diverse type of glycoproteins or carbohydrate-binding proteins that have a wide distribution to various species. They can specially identify and exclusively bind to a certain kind of saccharide groups. Cancerlectins are a group of lectins that are closely related to cancer and play a major role in the initiation, survival, growth, metastasis and spread of tumor. Several computatio...
متن کاملDevelopmental plasticity of CNS microglia.
Microglia arise from CD45(+) bone marrow precursors that colonize the fetal brain and play a key role in central nervous system inflammatory conditions. We report that parenchymal microglia are uncommitted myeloid progenitors of immature dendritic cells and macrophages by several criteria, including surface expression of "empty" class II MHC protein and their cysteine protease (cathepsin) profi...
متن کاملProvide a Predictive Model to Identify People with Diabetes Using the Decision Tree
Background: Today, in most hospitals in Iran, there is an extensive database of patient characteristics that includes a large amount of information related to medical, family and medical records. Finding a knowledge model of this information can help to predict the performance of the medical system and improve educational processes. Methods: Data mining techniques are analytical tools that are...
متن کاملRole of Microglia in CNS Autoimmunity
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS) in the Western world. The disease is characterized histologically by the infiltration of encephalitogenic TH1/TH17-polarized CD4(+) T cells, B cells, and a plethora of myeloid cells, resulting in severe demyelination ultimately leading to a degeneration of neuronal structures. These pathological pr...
متن کاملSublime Microglia: Expanding Roles for the Guardians of the CNS
Recent findings challenge the concept that microglia solely function in disease states in the central nervous system (CNS). Rather than simply reacting to CNS injury, infection, or pathology, emerging lines of evidence indicate that microglia sculpt the structure of the CNS, refine neuronal circuitry and network connectivity, and contribute to plasticity. These physiological functions of microg...
