SLAS

There are many ways you help the greater SLAS community as a volunteer. Join members of the SLAS Professional team next Wednesday at 11:00 a.m. CDT for a walk through of the ways you can get involved across the organization: ow.ly/BnsE50YwwXV.

CEO Vicki Loise is the latest guest on The Biotech Stack podcast. Tune in to hear more about our upcoming hands-on programming and how our community is navigating the growing role of AI and data management in lab automation. Check out the full episode: youtube.com/watch?v=kGdSnL….

SNet, a deep learning model, boosts computer-aided diagnosis of gastrointestinal disease. Trained on HyperKvasir and tested on Kvasir v1/v2, this six-block CNN with MRMR feature selection overcomes poor contrast and irregular patterns in endoscopic images: ow.ly/ZlMG50YuYOn

By combining automated annotation via SIFT-based image registration with an enhanced Mask R-CNN architecture (AttFPN + spatial attention), researchers created a benchmark dataset and achieved higher precision, especially for small and medium chromosomes: ow.ly/SNeB50YuYIu

Using qPCR, RIP, CRISPR/Cas9 editing and thermal imaging–based metabolic monitoring, researchers show CircTNFRSF19 directly interacts w/ B3GNT5, boosting tumor cell metabolism and highlighting a potential therapeutic target in triple-neg breast cancer. ow.ly/WOUS50YuYyK
