Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes, for each of a set of samples, receiving data input that includes dimensions of a sample area, a percentage of the sample area being viable cells, and a percentage of the sample area exhibiting necrosis. The method includes, for each of the set of samples, computing a percentage of the sample area being stroma. The method includes, for each of the set of samples, computing weighting factors. The method includes computing a weighted percentage of the set of samples being viable cells based on the computed weighting factor and percentage of the sample area being viable cells for each of the set of samples. The method includes determining that a specified condition is detected in the set of samples based on the computed weighted percentage of the set of samples being viable cells satisfying a threshold correlating with an indication of the specified condition.

Abstract: Multispecific antibodies comprising a first half antibody comprising a first antigen binding site that binds to a polyubiquitin; and a second half antibody comprising a second antigen binding site that binds a pro-inflammatory protein, such as receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIP1) or receptor-interacting protein kinase 2 (RIP2), as well as methods for using the antibodies, are provided.
Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a deep learning neural network that can identify corpora lutea in the ovaries and a rules-based technique that can count the corpora lutea identified in the ovaries and infer an ovarian toxicity of a compound based on the count of the corpora lutea (CL). Particularly, aspects of the present disclosure are directed to obtaining a set of images of tissue slices from ovaries treated with an amount of a compound; generating, using a neural network model, the set of images with a bounding box around objects that are identified as the CL within the set of images based on coordinates predicted for the bounding box; counting the bounding boxes within the set of images to obtain a CL count for the ovaries; and determining an ovarian toxicity of the compound at the amount based on the CL count.
Abstract: Methods are provided for the adjuvant treatment of operable HER2-positive primary breast cancer in human patients by administration of pertuzumab in addition to chemotherapy and trastuzumab. The methods reduce the risk of recurrence of invasive breast cancer or death for a patient diagnosed with HER2-positive early breast cancer (eBC) compared to administration of trastuzumab and chemotherapy, without pertuzumab.
