Effects of nnav1.5 expression modulation on mhc I antigen processing machinery and invasion potential of breast cancer cells by Din, Ahmad Hafiz Murtadha Noor

“…Loss of immune surveillance enables cancer cells to metastasize hence this study is to explore the possible role of nNav1.5 in regulating the expression of immune components, MHC I antigen processing machinery (APM), which is deregulated in breast cancer. Several reports link VGSC and APM in neurons, but the correlation between nNav1.5 and APM in breast cancer is unknown. …”

Generation, Detection, and Evaluation of Role-play based Jailbreak attacks in Large Language Models by Johnson, Zachary D.

“…Specifically, we focus on three main categories: generating synthetic examples of role-play based jailbreak attack prompts, testing these role-play prompts on a target LLM in order to evaluate whether they successfully jailbreak the LLM and labeling our prompts accordingly, and training a robust detection model that can precisely predict whether a role-play prompt will successfully yield a jailbreak attack in a LLM before being fed any malicious requests. …”
