Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract The local breast environment is a valuable research focus for identifying the etiological and biological factors that contribute to the development of breast cancer. Single-cell RNA sequencing shows that the increased availability of the medium-chain fatty acid octanoic acid induces changes typical of the aged mammary gland, including downregulation of cell-cell junctions, altered extracellular matrix (ECM)-receptor interactions, and upregulation of aging markers like MDK and GDF15. Ex vivo exposure to medium-chain fatty acids compromises cell-cell junctions leading to cell dissemination. As aging is associated with an increased risk of developing breast cancer, it is crucial to identify the factors driving these age-related changes in the mammary gland to develop effective cancer prevention strategies. Given that the proportion of breast adipocytes increases with age, we propose that the remodeling of the mammary gland associated with aging is partly due to the increase in adipocytes and fatty-acid release.

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.
