Evaluation of MCL-1 as a prognostic factor in canine mammary gland tumors

by Jaeho Cho, Heaji Chung, Sungin Lee, Wan Hee Kim

Myeloid cell leukemia-1 (MCL-1), which belongs to the anti-apoptotic B cell lymphoma-2 family protein, is overexpressed in various cancers and is associated with cell immortality, malignant transformation, chemoresistance, and poor prognosis in humans. However, the significance of MCL-1 in canine mammary gland tumors (MGTs) remains unknown. This study aimed to examine MCL-1 expression in normal canine mammary glands and tumors and to assess...

An improved mountain gazelle optimizer based on chaotic map and spiral disturbance for medical feature selection

by Ying Li, Yanyu Geng, Huankun Sheng

Feature selection is an important solution for dealing with high-dimensional data in the fields of machine learning and data mining. In this paper, we present an improved mountain gazelle optimizer (IMGO) based on the newly proposed mountain gazelle optimizer (MGO) and design a binary version of IMGO (BIMGO) to solve the feature selection problem for medical data. First, the gazelle population is initialized using iterative chaotic map with infinite collapses (ICMIC) mapping... Читать дальше...
