Quantifying invasibility [PDF]
Invasibility, the chance of a population to grow from rarity and to establish a large-abundance colony, plays a fundamental role in population genetics, ecology, and evolution. For many decades, the mean growth rate when rare has been employed as an invasion criterion.

The patchy distribution of trees typical of savannas often results in a discontinuous distribution of water, nutrient resources, and microbial communities in soil, commonly referred to as “islands of fertility”. We assessed how this phenomenon may affect

Protein dynamics at invadopodia control invasion–migration transitions in melanoma cells
Cell invasion is a highly complex process that requires the coordination of cell migration and degradation of the extracellular matrix. In melanoma cells, as in many highly invasive cancer cell types these processes are driven by the regulated formation ...

Invasive and non-invasive mechanical ventilation [PDF]
Early recognition of patients who might potentially require ventilatory support is a key goal of critical care outreach programs and an important skill for all hospital medical staff. Decisions about the initiation and timing of invasive ventilation can be difficult and early discussion with critical care colleagues is essential.

Invasive neurostimulation [PDF]
Chronic migraine afflicts 1-5% of the global population and poses a substantial burden on subjects’ quality of life and on health services utilization [1]. Although most patients benefit from abortive and preventive drugs, a subgroup of patients remains refractory to treatment. Refractory chronic migraine is one of the greatest chal- lenges in headache

Background M2-polarized macrophages are tumor-associated-macrophages (TAMs), which are important contents of tumor-infiltrating immune cells. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is a molecular biomarker of tumor aggressiveness and poor prognosis.
