Harnessing deep learning to detect bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome from chest CT

Pascal Fua, Michele De Palma, Nahal Mansouri, Jakub Jan Gwizdala

BackgroundBronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome (BOS), a fibrotic airway disease that may develop after lung transplantation, conventionally relies on pulmonary function tests (PFTs) for diagnosis due to limitations of CT imaging. Deep neural networks (DNNs) h ...

Trajectories of macrophage ontogeny and reprogramming in cancer

Michele De Palma, Nahal Mansouri, Céline Wyser Rmili, Gael Luis Boivin, Alan Nicolas Thierry Guichard

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) often manifest immunosuppressive and tumor-promoting phenotypes contributing to immunotherapy resistance. Dicer1 inactivation in TAMs (DKO) prompts their immunostimulatory activation, enabling effective immunotherapy in ...
