The purpose of this study is to determine new prognostic indexes for the differentiation of subgroups of breast cancer patients with the techniques of decision tree algorithms (C&RT, CHAID, QUEST, ID3, C4.5 and C5.0) and Cox regression analysis for disease-free survival (DFS) in breast cancer patients. A retrospective analysis was performed in 381 breast cancer patients diagnosed. Age, menopaus...

Macrophages are responsible for the control of inflammation and healing, and their malfunction results in cardiometabolic disorders. TGF-β is a pleiotropic growth factor with dual (protective and detrimental) roles in atherogenesis. We have previously shown that in human macrophages, TGF-β1 activates Smad2/3 signaling and induces a complex gene expression program. However, activated genes were ...

In this article, we analyze the performance of students in eighth year basic education before, during, and after COVID-19 at Kimwenza High School from 2015 to 2021. The machine learning model used is algorithm classification decision tree with ID3 algorithm. confusion matrix helps us predict short term these results future years.

Disease outcome is known to be influenced by defined subsets of invariant NKT (iNKT) cells residing in distinct locations within peripheral tissue. However, the factors governing the development of these unique iNKT sublineages during thymic development are unknown. In this study we explored the mechanism by which E protein transcription factors and their negative regulators, the Id proteins, c...

In many domains, an appropriate inductive bias is the MIN-FEATURES bias, which prefers consistent hypotheses deenable over as few features as possible. This paper deenes and studies this bias. First, it is shown that any learning algorithm implementing the MIN-FEATURES bias requires (1 ln 1 + 1 2 p + p lnn]) training examples to guarantee PAC-learning a concept having p relevant features out of...

The biological role of BMP-9 signaling in liver cancer remains dubious. To explore the potential use of BMP-9 signaling for anti-cancer therapy, we used recombinant human BMP-9, which we referred to as MB109, to study the effect on growth of fifteen hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell lines. MB109 effectively inhibits the proliferation of nine HCC cells in vitro. The anti-proliferative effect w...

Neural crest cells, a population of proliferative, migratory, tissue-invasive stem cells, are a defining feature of vertebrate embryos. These cells arise at the neural plate border during a time in development when precursors of the central nervous system and the epidermis are responding to the extracellular signals that will ultimately dictate their fates. Neural crest progenitors, by contrast...
