LKB1 deficiency in T cells promotes the development of gastrointestinal polyposis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Inflammation promotes gut polyposis Peutz–Jeghers Syndrome (PJS) causes benign polyps in the gut and a higher risk of several cancers caused by mutations in the tumor suppressor gene STK11 , which encodes liver kinase B1 (LKB1). LKB1's role in this disease is thought to be related to its tumor suppressor function. Now, Poffenberger et al. show that the T cell–specific heterozygous deletion of Stk11 is sufficient to reproduce PJS symptoms in mice (see the Perspective by Hollstein and Shaw). Polyps in mice and humans are characterized by immune cell infiltration, enhanced STAT3 signaling, and increased levels of inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-6 (IL-6). Targeting STAT3 signaling, IL-6, or T cells ameliorated the polyps, suggesting potential therapies for this disease. Science , this issue p. 406 ; see also p. 332

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.
