Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Cancer growth and metastasis requires reprogramming of the expression of multiple genes. The epigenome, which is comprised of chromatin and the patterns of DNA methylation, sets up and maintains gene expression programs. As expected from the broad changes in gene expression in cancer, which are characterized by both silencing and activation of multiple genes, the epigenome of cancer cells is distinguished by aberration of DNA methylation patterns, which include both hypo- and hypermethylation and aberrant regulation of DNA methylation enzymes. In contrast to genetic alterations, which are fixed and are not amenable to therapeutic intervention, pharmacological agents could alter DNA methylation patterns. This raises the prospect that DNA methylation-targeted drugs will reverse cancer growth and metastasis. One of the main challenges however, is to understand the relative role of hypo- and hypermethylation in order to achieve a balance of epigenetic therapeutic agents with positive outcome and reduced adverse effects.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not 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.
