Using REMBRANDT to Paint in the Details of Glioma Biology: Applications for Future Immunotherapy

چکیده
Microarray technology developed in the late 1990’s allows one to simultaneously analyze the entire transcriptome of a given population of cells at a single time. It is essentially a microchip with each spot containing about a picogram of DNA immobilized at defined locations. This DNA captures mRNA or cDNA from defined cell populations (tissue, cell line, etc) in a quantitative manner. This technique allows complex patterns of global gene expressions to be quickly and easily detected between two specimens. Microarrays were initially used to describe cell cycle patterns of Saccharomyces cerevisiae [1]. Its powerful potential was quickly recognized and applied towards cancer. The first successful application of this technology was to show that diffuse large cell B lymphomas had two different subtypes. One subset of this cancer was easily treatable with chemotherapy; whereas, the second phenotype required a more aggressive therapy [2].

Rembrandt, in his early self-portraits, clearly forbids the audience from seeing. The distinguishing feature of these works not in the clearly displayed sections, but in the glorious representation of the lost information. In other words, Rembrandt uses visual principles and qualities in order not to represent himself accurately. This prompted the researcher to read psychoanalytically the self...

Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) has been criticized considerably for possible rank reversal phenomenon caused by the addition or deletion of an alternative. While in many cases this is a perfectly valid phenomenon, there are also many cases where ranks should be preserved. Our findings indicate that using the geometric mean reduces the variance in ratings substantially; hence, yielding lower i...
