Single cell hydrodynamic stretching and microsieve filtration reveal genetic, phenotypic and treatment-related links to cellular deformability by Li, Fenfang, Cima, Igor, Vo, Jess Honganh, Tan, Min-Han, Ohl, Claus-Dieter

“…In another model, the breast epithelial cells MCF10A with deletion of the TP53 gene are also significantly more deformable compared to their isogenic wildtype counterpart, indicating a potential genetic link to cellular deformability. We also find that the drug docetaxel leads to an increase in the size of A549 lung cancer cells. …”

Graph attention informer for long-term traffic flow prediction under the impact of sports events by Song, Yaofeng, Luo, Ruikang, Zhou, Tianchen, Zhou, Changgen, Su, Rong

“…However, due to the complexity of traffic maps and external factors, such as sports events, these models cannot perform well in long-term prediction. In order to enhance the accuracy and robustness of the model on long-term time series prediction, a Graph Attention Informer (GAT-Informer) structure is proposed by combining the graph attention layer and informer layer to capture the intrinsic features and external factors in spatial-temporal correlation. …”
