Autoencoder techniques for survival analysis on renal cell carcinoma. by Iñigo Sanz Ilundain, Laura Hernández-Lorenzo, Cristina Rodríguez-Antona, Jesús García-Donas, José L Ayala

“…In this study, we addressed this challenge by compressing the high-dimensional transcriptomic data of patients treated with immunotherapy (avelumab + axitinib) and a TKI (sunitinib) into latent, meaningful features using autoencoders. We applied a semi-parametric statistical approach based on the COX Proportional Hazards model, coupled with Breslow's estimator, to predict each patient's Progression-Free Survival (PFS) and determine survival functions. …”

Plasticity in the Neonatal Brain following Hypoxic-Ischaemic Injury by Eridan Rocha-Ferreira, Mariya Hristova

“…In term infants HI causes selective damage to sensorimotor cortex, basal ganglia, thalamus, and brain stem. Even though the immature brain is more malleable to external stimuli compared to the adult one, a hypoxic-ischaemic event to the neonate interrupts the shaping of central motor pathways and can affect normal developmental plasticity through altering neurotransmission, changes in cellular signalling, neural connectivity and function, wrong targeted innervation, and interruption of developmental apoptosis. …”
