MEFV mutations - therapeutic guides or red herrings?

Background/question Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is a hereditary inflammatory disorder characterised by self-resolving attacks of fever and serositis common in populations from Mediterranean ancestry [1]. Mutations affecting MEFV gene is believed to be responsible for the disease phenotype[1]. The correlation between the genotype and phenotype is not very strong, indicating the presence o...

The Little Engine that Could 1 Regularization by Denoising ( RED )

Removal of noise from an image is an extensively studied problem in image processing. Indeed, the 5 recent advent of sophisticated and highly effective denoising algorithms lead some to believe that 6 existing methods are touching the ceiling in terms of noise removal performance. Can we leverage 7 this impressive achievement to treat other tasks in image processing? Recent work has answered th...
