Circulating tumor cells: advancing personalized therapy in small cell lung cancer patients
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive form of lung cancer that spreads rapidly to secondary sites such as the brain and liver. Cancer cells circulating in the blood, “circulating tumor cells” (CTCs), have demonstrated prognostic value in SCLC, and evaluating biomarkers on CTCs could guide treatment decisions such as for PARP inhibitors ...

Taking chances: Gambling and Providence in Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice
Etudes Epistémè, 2021 In this article I wish to explore how the pervading references to games in William Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice pave the way for a reflection on the respective roles of chance, providence and human agency in shaping the characters’ destiny.

Non-monotonic disorder-induced enhanced tunneling [PDF]
J. Phys. A 37 (2004) 259-271, 2003 The quantum-mechanical transmission through a disordered tunnel barrier is investigated analytically in the following regime: (correlation range of the random potential) << (penetration length) << (barrier length). The mean and/or the width of the potential can either be constant, or vary slowly across the barrier.

Cell‐free and extracellular vesicle microRNAs with clinical utility for solid tumors
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Cell‐free microRNAs (cfmiRs) are small‐RNA circulating molecules detectable in almost all body biofluids. Innovative technologies have improved the application of cfmiRs to oncology, with a focus on clinical needs for different solid tumors, but with emphasis on diagnosis, prognosis, cancer recurrence, as well as treatment monitoring.

Epistemic luck and logical necessities: armchair luck revisited [PDF]
, 2017 Modal knowledge accounts like sensitivity or safety face a problem when it comes to knowing propositions that are necessarily true because the modal condition is always fulfilled no matter how random the belief forming method is.

Dynamics of the condensate in zero-range processes [PDF]
J. Phys. A 38 (2005) 7215-7237, 2005 For stochastic processes leading to condensation, the condensate, once it is formed, performs an ergodic stationary-state motion over the system. We analyse this motion, and especially its characteristic time, for zero-range processes. The characteristic time is found to grow with the system size much faster than the diffusive timescale, but not ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.We quantified and cultured circulating tumor cells (CTCs) of 62 patients with various cancer types and generated CTC‐derived tumoroid models from two salivary gland cancer patients. Cellular liquid biopsy‐derived information enabled molecular genetic assessment of systemic disease heterogeneity and functional testing for therapy selection in both ...
