STEM Language can be the Stem of the Problem

2018 IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference (FIE), 2018
Engineering collaboration requires successful interdisciplinary communication between professionals who have highly specialized, content specific vocabularies. STEM language research has shown that people encounter barriers to communication due to different understandings of particular words.

Roots and stems: stem cells in cancer

Nature Medicine, 2006
Cancer develops from normal tissues through the accumulation of genetic alterations that act in concert to confer malignant phenotypes. Although we have now identified some of the genes that when mutated initiate tumor formation and drive cancer progression, the identity of the cell population(s) susceptible to such transforming events remains ...

Stemness or Not Stemness? Current Status and Perspectives of Adult Retinal Stem Cells

Current Stem Cell Research & Therapy, 2009
Many retinal dystrophies are associated with photoreceptor loss, which causes irreversible blindness. The recent identification of various sources of stem cells in the mammalian retina has raised the possibility that cell-based therapies might be efficient strategies to treat a wide range of incurable eye diseases.

Wage Profiles in Stem and Non-Stem Careers

SSRN Electronic Journal
We compare wage profiles for STEM-educated and non-STEM-educated individuals over their lifetimes. Using repeated cross-sectional data from Russia, we examine how the dynamics of these types of human capital are affected by technological developments, applying the Age-Period-Cohort decomposition to workers' life cycle wage growth.

The characterisation of mesenchymal stem cells: a stem cell is not a stem cell is not a stem cell.

Journal of stem cells, 2013
There has been an increasing interest in stem cell applications and tissue engineering approaches in surgical practice to deal with damaged or lost tissue. Although there have been developments in almost all surgical disciplines, the greatest advances are being made in orthopaedics. This is due to many factors including the familiarity with bone marrow
