Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Huntington’s disease (HD) is a late-onset neurodegenerative disorder caused by the expansion of the CAG repeat in the HTT allele. This forms an expanded huntingtin protein which disrupts various cellular processes including DNA damage repair pathways. Many models have been developed to study HD. This includes the TruHD cells which are immortal patient-derived fibroblasts that retain characteristics of their original primary culture. However, the current TruHD cell library is limited. In this project, we expanded the library of TruHD cells, characterized their basal growth rate and huntingtin levels, identified a standard set of cells for future experiments, and amended the TruHD name to better guide future investigations. Furthermore, we developed and optimized qPCR as a tool for the TruHD cells. N6-furfuryladenine was also assessed and determined to not modulate HTT mRNA levels and not induce apoptosis in control cells.

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.
