Gene signatures characterizing driver mutations in lung squamous carcinoma are predictive of the progression of pre‐cancer lesions

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) is more aggressive than lung adenocarcinoma, and is most often diagnosed at an advanced stage. Here, the authors evaluated gene expression data from LUSC tumors and came up with gene signatures for 34 genetic abnormalities whose expression changes throughout different precancerous stages. Several of these

Investigating Drivers of Tiger Bone Glue Consumption in Vietnam 调查越南虎骨胶消费的驱动因素 Điều Tra Nguyên Nhân Dẫn Đến Tình Trạng Tiêu Thụ Cao Hổ Cốt Tại Việt Nam

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.
We found the estimated use of tiger bone glue within the last 12 months to be 6.9%. We found a stated motivation of taking TBG to improve health, and by the suggestion of one's social group. We suggest reducing the acceptability of TBG as medicine and encouraging non‐animal‐based medicinal alternatives.

Imperfect Synthetic Controls

Journal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The synthetic control method assumes the existence of a perfect synthetic control, which cannot exist if the outcomes are functions of transitory shocks with nonzero asymptotic variance and may not exist even in expectation for the treated unit. This paper first shows the benefits of estimating synthetic controls for all units.
