STEM crisis or STEM surplus? Yes and yes [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Labor Review, 2015
The last decade has seen considerable concern regarding a shortage of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workers to meet the demands of the labor market. At the same time, many experts have presented evidence of a STEM worker surplus. A comprehensive literature review, in conjunction with employment statistics, newspaper articles,

E2F3 accelerates the stemness of colon cancer cells by activating the STAT3 pathway

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2023
IntroductionColon cancer is one of the most prevalent malignancies and causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Thus, further research is required to explicate the latent molecular mechanisms and look for novel biomarkers. E2F3 has been confirmed to be

YM155 as an inhibitor of cancer stemness simultaneously inhibits autophosphorylation of epidermal growth factor receptor and G9a-mediated stemness in lung cancer cells.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Cancer stem cell survival is the leading factor for tumor recurrence after tumor-suppressive treatments. Therefore, specific and efficient inhibitors of cancer stemness must be discovered for reducing tumor recurrence.

Changes in Biomechanical Properties of A375 Cells Due to the Silencing of TMSB4X Expression Are Not Directly Correlated with Alterations in Their Stemness Features

open access: yesCells, 2021
Thymosin β4 (Tβ4) is a small, 44-amino acid polypeptide. It has been implicated in multiple processes, including cell movement, angiogenesis, and stemness. Previously, we reported that melanoma cell lines differ in Tβ4 levels.

Hematopoietic stem cell metabolism and stemness

open access: yesBlood Science, 2019
AbstractHematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are considered to originate from the aorta-gonad-mesonephros, migrate into fetal liver for a rapid expansion, and eventually reside into a unique hypoxic bone marrow niche, where they maintain their homeostasis throughout their life span.

The effect of extracellular acidosis on the behaviour of mesenchymal stem cells in vitro [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Cells & Materials, 2017
The stem cell fraction of a cell population is finely tuned by stimuli from the external microenvironment. Among these stimuli, a decrease of extracellular pH (pHe) may occur in a variety of physiological and pathological conditions, including hypoxia ...

Extracellular matrix bioink boosts stemness and facilitates transplantation of intestinal organoids as a biosafe Matrigel alternative

open access: yesBioengineering & Translational Medicine, 2023
Organoids hold inestimable therapeutic potential in regenerative medicine and are increasingly serving as an in vitro research platform. Still, their expanding applications are critically restricted by the canonical culture matrix and system.

GJA1-20k, a Short Isoform of Connexin43, from Its Discovery to Its Potential Implication in Cancer Progression

open access: yesCells
The Connexin43 transmembrane protein (Cx43), encoded by the GJA1 gene, is a member of a multigenic family of proteins that oligomerize to form hemichannels and intercellular channels, allowing gap junctional intercellular communication between adjacent ...

Stemming on STEM: A STEM Education Framework for Students with Disabilities

open access: yesJournal of Science Education for Students with Disabilities, 2016
There has been increased attention paid to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics also known as STEM. The focus on STEM has been both educational and occupational. Unfortunately, students with disabilities perform below their peers without disabilities in math and science.

The Combined Effect of Obesity and Contraceptive Use on Pulmonary Embolism in Adolescent Females Residing in the United States

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Combined oral contraceptive (COC) use in obese adult women dramatically increases the relative risk of developing a pulmonary embolism (PE). The risk of a PE in obese adolescent females taking contraceptives is currently unknown. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effect of body mass index (BMI) and contraceptive
