Of Snail, mice, and women [PDF]
Mechanisms for breast cancer recurrence and metastases are poorly understood. New evidence from a transgenic mouse mammary tumor model suggests that the transcriptional repressor, Snail, may play a role in recurrence by downregulating E-cadherin and inducing an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition.

Semiconductor snail lasers [PDF]
A modified ring laser geometry is presented to promote stable unidirectional lasing. The effects of directional coupling and facet reflectivities are investigated with respect to quantum efficiency, directionality, and side-mode suppression ratio of the lasing spectra. Simulation and experimental results are presented showing single mode (>20 dB

Non‐thermal plasma treatment of melanoma cells induced epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) in a dose‐dependent fashion. This report highlights the critical need to further investigate potential adverse effects of non‐thermal plasma for cancer therapy and to optimize treatment parameters for clinical translation. Despite the promising results of non‐

The tumor microenvironment is a dynamic, multifaceted complex system of interdependent cellular, biochemical, and biophysical components. Three‐dimensional in vitro models of the tumor microenvironment enable a better understanding of these interactions and their impact on cancer progression and therapeutic resistance.
