Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence technique that can identify which cell surface peptides produced by cancer cells called neoantigens are recognized by the immune system. The pMTnet technique could lead to new ways to predict cancer prognosis and potential responsiveness to immunotherapies.

Do you mind if I quote a few of your articles as long as I provide credit and
sources back to your webpage? My blog is in the
very same niche as yours and my users would definitely benefit
from a lot of the information you present here. Please let me know if this okay with
you. Many thanks!
Hi Eve. Please feel free to quote with credits. I’m glad to know that you find the information useful! Cheers!
Hi, I do think your web site may be having browser compatibility problems.
Whenever I take a look at your website in Safari,
it looks fine however when opening in I.E., it’s got some overlapping issues.
I merely wanted to give you a quick heads up! Aside from that, great site!
I think it might just be due to WordPress not supporting IE anymore.
I’ll see if anything can be done anyway, but thank you for letting me know!
Greetings! Very helpful advice in this particular article!
It’s the little changes that produce the largest changes.
Thanks a lot for sharing!
Hey would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using?
I’m going to start my own blog in the near future but I’m
having a difficult time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique.
P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!
My blog is powered by WordPress and hosted on Hostinger. As for the layout, it depends on the theme you use and customize. I use Astra.
Check out Ryan Robinson’s website. He has brilliant tutorials for all things blogging!
I really like your blog.. very nice colors & theme. Did
you make this website yourself or did you hire someone to do it for you?
Plz reply as I’m looking to construct my own blog and would like to find out where u got
this from. cheers
I built the site myself. It’s pretty easy once you know the basics of WordPress!
