The AML to be treated may be characterized by certain features, such as high level of expression of one or more Homeobox (HOX)-network genes, high and/or low expression of specific genes, the presence of one or more cytogenetic or molecular risk factors such as intermediate cytogenetic risk, Normal Karyotype (NK), mutated NPM1, mutated CEBPA, mutated FLT3, mutated DNMT3A, mutated TET2, mutated IDII1, mutated IDII2, mutated RUNX1, mutated WT1, mutated SRSF2, intermediate cytogenetic risk with abnormal karyotype (intern(abnK)), trisomy 8 (+8) and/or abnormal chromosome (5/7), and/or a high leukemic stem cell (LSC) frequency.

Abstract: A speech recognition method and apparatus, including implementation and/or training, are disclosed. The speech recognition method includes obtaining a speech signal, and performing a recognition of the speech signal, including generating a dialect parameter, for the speech signal, from input dialect data using a parameter generation model, applying the dialect parameter to a trained speech recognition model to generate a dialect speech recognition model, and generating a speech recognition result from the speech signal by implementing, with respect to the speech signal, the dialect speech recognition model. The speech recognition method and apparatus may perform speech recognition and/or training of the speech recognition model and the parameter generation model.

Abstract: Bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) biosensors for assessing the intracellular localization, internalization and trafficking into cellular compartments of proteins such as receptors, and other biomolecules such as second messengers, are disclosed. These biosensors, which are dependent on the concentration/density of the BRET donor and acceptor in cellular compartments rather that specific protein-protein interactions, use a Renilla GFP/Luc BRET pair, which allows the robust and reproducible monitoring of protein trafficking/localization, with a sensitivity compatible with high-throughput screening (HTS). The use of these biosensors for various applications, including assessing/monitoring protein endocytosis, recycling and intracellular trafficking, receptor maturation/rescue by pharmacological chaperones, various endocytosis/exocytosis processes, activation/inhibition, as well as biomolecule concentration/density in different cellular compartments, is also disclosed.
