PPARs: A Double‐Edged Sword in Cancer Therapy?
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Welcome to this special issue of PPAR Research, PPARs: A Double-Edged Sword in Cancer Therapy. Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors (PPARs) are a family of pleiotropic transcription factors that play central roles in cell metabolism and regulation of inflammation. Cancer is thought to be the uncontrolled clonal evolution and expansion of a mutated cell [1]. What is the connection between PPARs and cancer? The theme of this special issue reflects the impressive confluence of two originally separate streams of investigation: PPARs and cancer research. Despite the multitude of points of intersection between PPARs and neoplasia, and associated unresolved paradoxes, the link between PPARs and tumors is not yet widely appreciated among specialists in either field. However, over the past years, investigators who cross these fields have unearthed a myriad of remarkable connections.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
