BRIFT: A BINARY DESCRIPTOR FOR MULTI-MODAL IMAGE REGISTRATION

BRIFT: A Binary Descriptor for Multi-Modal Image Registration

Using radiation-variation insensitivity feature transform (RIFT) to calculate feature descriptors and perform feature matching on the maximum index map Mirror (MIM) is time-consuming.To solve this problem, an algorithm named binary descriptor for RIFT (BRIFT) is proposed.First, the phase consistency of the image is calculated and the MIM is obtaine

FGFR4 and EZH2 inhibitors synergistically induce hepatocellular carcinoma apoptosis via repressing YAP signaling

Abstract Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common and lethal cancers worldwide, but current treatment options remain limited and cause serious life-threatening side effects.Aberrant FGFR4 signaling has been validated as an oncogenic driver of HCC, and EZH2, the catalytic subunit of the PRC2 complex, is a potential factor

Estimating the Risk of Human Herpesvirus 6 and Cytomegalovirus Transmission to Ugandan Infants from Viral Shedding in Saliva by Household Contacts

Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections are common in early childhood.In a prospective Ugandan birth cohort study, most infants acquired HHV-6 (24/31; 77%) and CMV (20/30; 67%) during follow-up.To assess the transmission risk, we modeled a dose−response relationship between infant HHV-6 and CMV infections and weekly o

Circular RNA circSFMBT2 downregulation by HBx promotes hepatocellular carcinoma metastasis via the miR-665/TIMP3 axis

Hepatitis B virus X protein (HBx) is considered as an oncogene in tumorigenesis and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).In recent years, the important role of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in HCC has been increasingly demonstrated.However, the regulatory mechanisms of MAKEUP HBx on circRNAs remains largely unknown.In this study, we identified
