Towards calibration-invariant spectroscopy using deep learning.

abstract：:Infantile hemangioma is the most common benign tumor in infants. Many studies have confirmed that basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and its key receptor FGFR1 are highly expressed in hemangioma. Moreover, several miRNAs can regulate angiogenesis. In this regard, miR-424 often plays a role as tumor suppressor gene....
