From GWAS to transcriptomics in prospective cancer design - new statistical challenges [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Background. With the increasing interest in post-GWAS research which represents a transition from genome-wide association discovery to analysis of functional mechanisms, attention has been lately focused on the potential of including various biological material in epidemiological studies.

Nanoscale intracellular mass-density alteration as a signature of the effect of alcohol on early carcinogenesis: A transmission electron microscopy (TEM) study [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 Alcohol consumption interferes with the functioning of multiple organ systems, causing changes in the chemistry, physiology and pathology of tissues and cellular organelles. Although epigenetic modifications underlie the development of cancer, exposure to carcinogenic chemicals, such as alcohol, can also contribute to disease development.

Modeling and simulation of a low grade urinary bladder carcinoma [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 In this work, we present a mathematical model of the initiation and progression of a low-grade urinary bladder carcinoma. We simulate the crucial processes involved in tumor growth, such as oxygen diffusion, carcinogen penetration, and angiogenesis, within the framework of the urothelial cell dynamics.

Superior-catalytic performance of Ni-Co Layered double hydroxide nanosheets for the reduction of p-nitrophenol [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Layered double-hydroxides (LDHs) are superior to the conventional (Transition Metal Oxides) TMOs as their lamellar morphology accommodates higher active sites contributing to the facile electron transfer towards the material degradation relations, thus attracts an immense attention for catalysis application.

Designing for Degradation: Transient Devices Enabled by (Nano)Cellulose
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Recent progress in transient devices enabled by (nano)cellulosic materials is reviewed. Transiency mechanisms, advantages of nanocelluloses, and a suite of applications are discussed. A circular thinking approach coupled with life cycle assessment is applied to critically revisit the potential, advantages, and challenges of nanocellulose‐enabled ...
