Measuring and simulating the biophysical basis of the acoustic contrast factor of biological cells [PDF]
The acoustic contrast factor (ACF) is calculated from the relative density and compressibility differences between a fluid and an object in the fluid. To name but one application, this acoustic contrast can be exploited using acoustophoretic systems to isolate cancer cells from a liquid biopsy, such as a blood sample.

Germline variants in CDKN2A wild‐type melanoma prone families
Among melanoma‐prone families, wild‐type for CDKN2A and CDK4, some have pathogenic variants in genes not usually linked to melanoma. Furthermore, rare XP‐related variants and variants in MC1R are enriched in such families. Germline pathogenic variants in CDKN2A are well established as an underlying cause of familial malignant melanoma. While pathogenic

The Characterization of Complement Fixing Circulating Anti-Body by the Jird (Meriones Unguiculatus) in Response to Infection with Brugia Pahangi over an Extended Period of Time [PDF]
Male outbred jirds (Merione unguiculatus) were inoculated with doses of 100 or 200 infective Brugia pahangi larvae (13’s), and tested for complement fixing circulating antibody. Following innoculation, all test animals became positive for microfilaria in

Ubiquitination of transcription factors in cancer: unveiling therapeutic potential
In cancer, dysregulated ubiquitination of transcription factors contributes to the uncontrolled growth and survival characteristics of tumors. Tumor suppressors are degraded by aberrant ubiquitination, or oncogenic transcription factors gain stability through ubiquitination, thereby promoting tumorigenesis.

Hotting-up the complement-fixation test [PDF]
SUMMARYA detailed investigation into the effect of modifying the incubation temperature of the complement-fixation (CF) test is described. For varicella-zoster virus cytomegalovirus and rubella virus, increasing the incubation temperature progressively increased the sensitivity of the CF test to reach a maximum at 15°C, at which temperature the ...
