2020 journal article

Rapid Hazard Characterization of Environmental Chemicals Using a Compendium of Human Cell Lines from Different Organs

ALTEX-ALTERNATIVES TO ANIMAL EXPERIMENTATION, 37(4), 623–638.

By: Z. Chen*, Y. Liu, F. Wright, W. Chiu & I. Rusyn

TL;DR: The potential of this in vitro screening model for rapidly evaluating potential hazards of chemicals using a small number of human cells is demonstrated to inform rapid risk-based decision-making through ranking, clustering, and assessment of both hazard and risks of diverse environmental chemicals.

Systematic Comparisons for Composition Profiles, Taxonomic Levels, and Machine Learning Methods for Microbiome-Based Disease Prediction

FRONTIERS IN MOLECULAR BIOSCIENCES, 7.

By: K. Song n, F. Wright n & Y. Zhou n

author keywords: phenotype prediction; machine learning method; k-mers; operational taxonomic unit (OTU); amplicon sequence variant (ASV); phylogenetic analysis
TL;DR: The use of short k-mers, which have computational advantages and conceptual simplicity, is shown to be effective as a source for microbiome-based prediction, among machine-learning approaches, and tree-based methods show consistent, though modest, advantages in prediction accuracy.

Questioning Existing Cancer Hazard Evaluation Standards in the Name of Statistics

Rusyn, I., Chiu, W. A., & Wright, F. A. (2020, October).

MeSH headings : Biological Assay; Glycine / analogs & derivatives; Humans; Neoplasms / epidemiology; Reference Standards
TL;DR: This argument sets a potentially far-reaching precedent to revisit decades of standard practice of cancer hazard evaluation performed by national and international agencies, and proposes a very high bar to classify a chemical as positive in a rodent bioassay. (via Semantic Scholar)

Three-dimensional imaging of intact porcine cochlea using tissue clearing and custom-built light-sheet microscopy

BIOMEDICAL OPTICS EXPRESS, 11(11), 6181–6196.

By: A. Moatti n, Y. Cai n, C. Li n, T. Sattler n, L. Edwards n, J. Piedrahita n, F. Ligler n, A. Greenbaum n

TL;DR: 3D microscopic analysis was performed on an intact cochlea of newborn and juvenile pigs with a volume up to ∼ 250 mm3 using the BoneClear tissue clearing technique, which renders the bone transparent, to support the growing effort to regenerate cochlear tissues and assist with basic research to advance cures for hearing impairments.

Classification of estrogenic compounds by coupling high content analysis and machine learning algorithms

PLOS COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY, 16(9).

MeSH headings : Algorithms; Cell Line; Estrogens / classification; Estrogens / metabolism; Humans; Machine Learning; Receptors, Estrogen / metabolism
TL;DR: A machine learning pipeline for rapid, accurate, and sensitive assessment of the endocrine-disrupting potential of benchmark chemicals based on data generated from high content analysis showed that highly accurate and generalized classification models with a minimum number of features can be constructed without loss of generality.
