Application of Haddon’s matrix in qualitative research methodology: an experience in burns epidemiology [PDF]
Background: Little has been done to investigate the application of injury specific qualitative research methods in the field of burn injuries. The aim of this study was to use an analytical tool (Haddon’s matrix) through qualitative research methods to ...

Ligand‐dependent transcriptional heterogeneity in cell cycle gene expression delays G1/S entry
EGF and HRG induce distinct G1/S progression programs in ErbB2‐amplified BT474 breast cancer cells. Despite activating the potent ErbB2–ErbB3 heterodimer, HRG does not accelerate cell‐cycle entry. Instead, EGF promotes earlier restriction‐point passage via ERK–FOS signaling, whereas HRG activates the AKT–MYC axis, driving transcriptional heterogeneity ...

On Generalized p,q-Euler Matrix and Associated Sequence Spaces
In this study, we introduce new BK-spaces bsr,tp,q and b∞r,tp,q derived by the domain of p,q-analogue Br,tp,q of the binomial matrix in the spaces ℓs and ℓ∞, respectively.

Metastatic niche shaped by host factors influences disseminated cancer cell fate
Metastasis is shaped not only by cancer cells but also by the environments they encounter. This review explores how factors such as aging, diet, the microbiome, lifestyle, and environmental exposures remodel organ‐specific niches in the lung, liver, bone, and brain, influencing where metastatic cells survive, remain dormant, or grow, and ultimately ...

Approximating a similarity matrix by a latent class model: A reappraisal of additive fuzzy clustering [PDF]
Let Q be a given n×n square symmetric matrix of nonnegative elements between 0 and 1, similarities. Fuzzy clustering results in fuzzy assignment of individuals to K clusters.

On general fixed point method based on matrix splitting for solving linear complementarity problem
In this article, we introduce a modified fixed point method to process the large and sparse linear complementarity problem (LCP) and formulate an equivalent fixed point equation for the LCP and show the equivalence.

Lysyl oxidase (LOX)‐mediated remodeling of the extracellular matrix
The lysyl oxidase (LOX) family of enzymes drives extracellular matrix remodeling by oxidizing collagen, elastin, and fibronectin, promoting covalent cross‐link formation. This activity regulates tissue architecture and mechanical properties, while its dysregulation contributes to fibrosis, cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, connective tissue disorders ...

Neutralization of the PTX3/CD44 axis suppresses TGF‐β1 signaling in kidney fibrosis
This study investigates how the PTX3/CD44 axis promotes kidney fibrosis by activating TGF‐β1 signaling. We demonstrate that the neutralizing antibody WHC‐001 effectively inhibits this pathway, suppressing myofibroblast activation and partial epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT).

P-value matrix for the variable ‘treatment time’.
Black cells indicate non-significant differences between age groups and significant difference with p = 0.000 are left out. The matrix shows that there are virtually no differences between the consecutive age groups for the considered variables.
