Maintenance and expansion of hematopoietic stem cells in vitro using genetic methods by Wu, Zhihao

“…Interestingly, closely related NUP98-CDX4 induced leukemia with the shortest latency ever reported for NUP98-Homeodomain fusions unaided by MEIS1 transcription factor. Since HSC and leukemic stem cells (LSC) share similar self-renewal mechanisms, these pre-leukemic stem cells generated by the first genetic hits can provide useful models for elucidating the self-renewal mechanisms of HSC as well as LSC. …”

Deep learning system improved detection efficacy of fetal intracranial malformations in a randomized controlled trial by Meifang Lin, Qian Zhou, Ting Lei, Ning Shang, Qiao zheng, Xiaoqin He, Nan Wang, Hongning Xie

“…A total of 709 fetal neurosonographic images/videos are read interactively by 36 sonologists of different expertise levels in three reading modes: unassisted mode (without PAICS assistance), concurrent mode (using PAICS at the beginning of the assessment) and second mode (using PAICS after a fully unaided interpretation). Aided by PAICS, the average accuracy of the unassisted mode (73%) is increased by the concurrent mode (80%; P < 0.001) and the second mode (82%; P < 0.001). …”
