We present the TurkuNLP entry to the BioNLP Shared Task 2016 Bacteria Biotopes event extraction (BB3-event) subtask. We propose a deep learningbased approach to event extraction using a combination of several Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks over syntactic dependency graphs. Features for the proposed neural network are generated based on the shortest path connecting the two candidate enti...

According to WHO, in 2016 around 13% of the world’s adult population (11% men and 15% women) were obese. The global prevalence obesity almost tripled between 1975 2016. In this context, it is important note that continuous increase life expectancy, desire for a better quality life, high cost medical care have led growing demand functional foods market. People started realize their food choice...

Traditional medicines have become the most productive source of leads for drugs development, particularly as anti-cancer agents. Various screening approaches are being applied. Sorafenib, a multikinase inhibitor, is used to treat primary kidney cancer (advanced renal cell carcinoma) and advanced primary liver cancer. A small library of compounds analogous to sorafenib were designed and screened...

BACKGROUND Peptide receptors, overexpressed in specific cancers, represent new diagnostic and therapeutic targets. In this study, receptors for the gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP), and other members of the bombesin-family of peptides, were evaluated in ovarian neoplasms. METHODS 75 primary, secondary and metastatic ovarian tumors were investigated for their bombesin-receptor subtype expressio...

We analyzed the CD3-associated molecules present on peripheral blood-derived TCR-gamma/delta+ clones that express CD8 surface antigens. Clones were derived by limiting dilution from CD3+WT31- FACS-purified populations derived from several donors. Eight of greater than 300 TCR-gamma/delta+ clones analyzed expressed CD8 and reacted with delta-TCS-1 mAb. Cell numbers suitable for more detailed ana...

The QBB trap (left panel in Fig. A) is composed of two perpendicularly arranged counterpropagating Bessel beam (CPBB) traps6, 7. The two sets of CPBB traps are obtained by splitting the beam from the trapping laser (Laser Quantum, OPUS 3 532 nm, typical power: 1000 mW) into two beams using a half-wave plate (λ/2) and a polarization beam splitter cube (PBC). From each of these two beams, a Besse...

CLEC4F, a member of C-type lectin, was first purified from rat liver extract with high binding affinity to fucose, galactose (Gal), N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc), and un-sialylated glucosphingolipids with GalNAc or Gal terminus. However, the biological functions of CLEC4F have not been elucidated. To address this question, we examined the expression and distribution of murine CLEC4F, determine...
