Exploring the origin of the cancer stem cell niche and its role in anti-angiogenic treatment for glioblastoma.
Cancer stem cells are thought to be the main drivers of tumorigenesis for malignancies such as glioblastoma (GBM). They are maintained through a close relationship with the tumor vasculature. Previous literature has...
Implementing alcohol screening and brief interventions in primary health care
BACKGROUND: Alcohol is one of the most important risk factors contributing to the global burden of disease. Screening and brief interventions in primary care settings are effective in reducing alcohol consumption. However...
The ubiquitin family meets the Fanconi anemia proteins.
Fanconi anaemia (FA) is a hereditary disorder characterized by bone marrow failure, developmental defects, predisposition to cancer and chromosomal abnormalities. FA is caused by biallelic mutations that inactivate genes...
Not-for-profit supply chains for product take-back
The extant literature in the field of reverse logistics has paid scant attention to take-back supply chains that are not aimed at making a profit. We attempt to flesh out this knowledge by highlighting how the processes of core...
A simple, highly visual <em>in vivo</em> screen for anaplastic lymphoma kinase inhibitors
Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) is an important drug target in many cancers, including lymphoma, neuroblastoma, and lung cancer. Here, we demonstrate proof-of-principle for a novel and inexpensive assay for ALK inhibitor...
Electronic product returns and potential reuse opportunities
One route to reducing electronic waste, increasing product reuse, is dependent on the quality and functionality of discarded electronic goods (core), about which little is known or understood. This paper reports on the...

Tweeting about public health policy:
Background Standardised tobacco packaging has been, and remains, a contentious policy globally, attracting corporate, public health, political, media and popular attention. In January 2015, the UK Government announced it...
A Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Model for Selecting a Maturity Model
This paper proposes a decision model for a maturity model choice problem via the multiple-criteria decision analysis method. The authors implemented the model in FITradeoff decision support system to select a project management...

The effect of ozone gas sterilization on the properties and cell compatibility of electrospun polycaprolactone scaffolds
Carolina Rediguieri, Paul De Bank, Maria Helena Ambrosio Zanin, Patrícia Leo, Natalia Neto Pereira Cerize, Adriano Marim de Oliveira, Terezinha Pinto
Jul 30, 2017
The growing area of tissue engineering has the potential to alleviate the shortage of tissues and organs for transplantation, and electrospun biomaterial scaffolds are extremely promising devices for translating engineered...

An evolutionarily conserved intronic region controls the spatiotemporal expression of the transcription factor Sox10
James R. Dutton, Anthony Antonellis, Thomas J. Carney, Frederico S. L. M. Rodriguez, William J. Pavan, Andrew Ward, Robert N. Kelsh
Jan 01, 0001
Background: A major challenge lies in understanding the complexities of gene regulation. Mutation of the transcription factor SOX10 is associated with several human diseases. The disease phenotypes reflect the function of SOX10...
Diffusional Kurtosis Imaging in the Diffusion Imaging in Python Project.
Rafael Neto Henriques, Marta M Correia, Maurizio Marrale, Elizabeth Huber, John Kruper, Serge Koudoro, Jason D Yeatman, Eleftherios Garyfallidis, Ariel Rokem
Sep 13, 2021
Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) measurements and models provide information about brain connectivity and are sensitive to the physical properties of tissue microstructure. Diffusional Kurtosis Imaging (DKI)...
A new reporter cell line for studies with proteasome inhibitors in Trypanosoma brucei.
A Trypanosoma brucei cell line is described that produces a visual readout of proteasome activity. The cell line contains an integrated transgene encoding an ubiquitin-green fluorescent protein (GFP) fusion polypeptide...
The newly created Publicly Available Specification (PAS 141) for reusable electrical/electronic products
In 2011, a governmental initiative driven by the Department for Business Innovation and Skills invited the British Standards Institute (BSI) to write and publish a publicly available specification (PAS) for the reuse of waste...

Driving electrochemical membrane processes with coupled ionic diodes
Zhongkai Li, Klaus Mathwig, Omotayo A. Arotiba, Luthando Tshwenya, Evaldo Batista Carneiro Neto, Ernesto Chaves Pereira, Frank Marken
Jun 30, 2023
Ionic diodes have emerged repeatedly in the literature for gel interfaces, for nanopores and channels, for nano-/micro-fluidic systems, and for asymmetrically ionomer-covered microholes. Concentration polarisation is likely...

Physical activity and preventable premature deaths from non-communicable diseases in Brazil.
Leandro Fórnias Machado de Rezende, Leandro Martin Totaro Garcia, Grégore Iven Mielke, Dong Hoon Lee, Edward Giovannucci, José Eluf-Neto
Dec 03, 2018
BACKGROUND: Studies on the impact of counterfactual scenarios of physical activity on premature deaths from non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are sparse in the literature. We estimated preventable premature deaths from NCDs...
Understanding Transient Ionic Diode Currents and Impedance Responses for Aquivion-Coated Microholes
Evaldo Batista Carneiro-Neto, Zhongkai Li, Ernesto Pereira, Klaus Mathwig, Philip J. Fletcher, Frank Marken
Aug 23, 2023
Ionic diode based devices or circuits can be applied, for example, in electroosmotic pumps or in desalination processes. Aquivion ionomer coated asymmetrically over a Teflon film (5 μm thickness) with a laser-drilled...
Energy transition pathways amongst low-income urban households
