Trajectories preceding student dropout

, 2019
In this chapter we use a process approach to better understand dropout from higher education. In our approach we combine theory on student attrition with theory on micro-level identity development, and study trajectories of exploration and commitment in an intensive longitudinal study spanning several months.

Transcriptional profiling of circulating extracellular vesicles from prebiopsy prostate cancer patients

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
RNA profiling of circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) from blood samples of men undergoing prostate biopsy identifies transcripts associated with clinically significant prostate cancer. Integrative analysis with public tumor datasets links EV‐derived gene signatures to tumor stage and progression‐free survival, highlighting CASP3, XRCC2, and RIT1 ...
