In this study, researchers explored the role of the TAK1 activation pathway in CAR T cell therapy-associated immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS). They established a mouse ICANS model and found that following the transfer of CAR19 T cells, cerebellar cells were activated, underwent morphological changes, and expressed more...

Utilizing Dynamic Single-Cell Analysis to Discover a Clinically Effective Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell Subset for Treating Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Research Background Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has been proven to be an effective treatment for B-cell malignancies. However, it remains challenging to predict individual cl...

There has long been a problem of “weak supervision” in the field of artificial intelligence, where only part of the labels are observable in the training data, while the remaining labels are unknown. Multiple Instance Learning (MIL) is a paradigm to address this issue. In MIL, the training data is divided into multiple “bags”, each containing multi...

Unsupervised restoration of a complex learned behavior after large-scale neuronal perturbation

This paper reports on research investigating how zebra finches recover their complex learned behaviors following large-scale neuronal perturbations. The researchers selectively disrupted the activity of the projection neurons in the HVC (hyperpallium ventralis) region critical for song sequence generation in zebra finches using genetic tools, leadi...
