Strength through diversity: how cancers thrive when clones cooperate

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Intratumor heterogeneity can offer direct benefits to the tumor through cooperation between different clones. In this review, Kuiken et al. discuss existing evidence for clonal cooperativity to identify overarching principles, and highlight how novel technological developments could address remaining open questions.

The carbon footprint of normal and high-strength concrete used in low-rise and high-rise buildings

Case Studies in Construction Materials, 2019
To reduce the mass of CO2 released into atmosphere by the construction industry, the performance strategy can be adopted. It is based on the use of High-Strength Concrete (HSC) in alternative to Normal-Strength Concrete (NSC).

Detection of circulating tumor DNA in colorectal cancer patients using a methylation‐specific droplet digital PCR multiplex

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We developed a cost‐effective methylation‐specific droplet digital PCR multiplex assay containing tissue‐conserved and tumor‐specific methylation markers. The assay can detect circulating tumor DNA with high accuracy in patients with localized and metastatic colorectal cancer.
