Evaluation of chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy in non-human primates infected with SHIV or SIV. by Nami Iwamoto, Bhavik Patel, Kaimei Song, Rosemarie Mason, Sara Bolivar-Wagers, Cristina Bergamaschi, George N Pavlakis, Edward Berger, Mario Roederer

“…We developed and tested a range of HIV- and SIV-specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell reagents based on Env-binding proteins. In general, SHIV/SIV CAR T cells showed potent viral suppression in vitro, and adding additional CAR molecules in the same transduction resulted in more potent viral suppression than single CAR transduction. …”

Pre Hoc and Co Hoc Explainability: Frameworks for Integrating Interpretability into Machine Learning Training for Enhanced Transparency and Performance by Cagla Acun, Olfa Nasraoui

“…Pre hoc uses the white-box model to regularize the black-box model, while co hoc jointly optimizes both models with a shared loss function. We extend these frameworks to generate instance-specific explanations using Jensen–Shannon divergence as a regularization term. …”

Genome-Wide Identification of Alternative Splicing in <i>Botrytis cinerea</i> During Infection Stage of <i>Solanum lycopersicum</i> by Ping Lu, Yun Wang, Xiaoli Wang, Jiaqi Wang, Dan Wang, Haojie Shi

“…A total of 3308 genes underwent alternative splicing in <i>B. cinerea</i>, resulting in 7466 alternative splicing events, most of which were stage-specific. Transcripts generated through alternative splicing typically exhibit lower expression levels, coding potential, and functional domains, which are more prevalent during the hyphal phase compared to the infestation phase. …”
