Genome-Wide CRISPR Screen Identifies Regulators of Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase as Suppressors of Liver Tumors in Mice by Song, Chun-Qing, Li, Yingxiang, Mou, Haiwei, Moore, Jill, Park, Angela, Pomyen, Yotsawat, Hough, Soren, Kennedy, Zachary, Fischer, Andrew, Yin, Hao, Anderson, Daniel Griffith, Conte, Darryl, Zender, Lars, Wang, Xin Wei, Thorgeirsson, Snorri, Weng, Zhiping, Xue, Wen

“…We infected p53 −/− ;Myc;Cas9 hepatocytes with the mGeCKOa lentiviral library of 67,000 single-guide RNAs (sgRNAs), targeting 20,611 mouse genes, and transplanted the transduced cells subcutaneously into nude mice. Within 1 month, all the mice that received the sgRNA library developed subcutaneous tumors. …”

ESTABLISHMENT OF A CRISPR/CAS9-BASED GENOME EDITING PLATFORM FOR THE GENERATION OF AN OFF-THE-SHELF ALLOGENEIC CAR-T CELL MODEL by SCG Lima, H Brand, LC Batista, DMC Fantacini, MGB Coelho, FA Castro, DT Covas, LEB Souza

“…The gRNAs sequences were cloned individually into lentiviral vectors upstream the anti-CD19 CAR gene, and the corresponding lentiviral particles were used to transduce Jurkat cells. We used these cells as a model for TCR and HLA depletion after the electroporation of a plasmid for a high-fidelity Cas9 transient expression. …”

Attention mechanism optimization for sub-symbolic-based and neural-symbolic-based natural language processing by Ni, Jinjie

“…The capability for machines to transduce, understand, and reason with natural language lives at the heart of Artificial Intelligence not only because natural language is one of the main mediums for information delivery, residing in documents, daily chats, and databases of various languages, but also because it involves many key aspects of intelligence (e.g., logic, understanding, abstraction, etc.). …”

Directional hear-through techiques for acoustic transparency to deliver augmented/mixed reality audio experiences over hearables by Gupta, Rishabh

“…Comb-filtering artifacts are a major issue in the practical implementation of all HT systems, including dirHT systems, which occur when the passively attenuated real sound that leaks into the hearables acoustically adds to the delayed HT equalized signal played back through the hearable's transducers. Mitigating comb-filtering artifacts in HT systems usually involves reducing the processing delay or further attenuating the leaked real sound signal using techniques such as Active Noise Control (ANC). …”
