The noncoding region of the genome plays a key role in regulating gene expression, and mutations within these regions are capable of altering it. Researchers have identified multiple functional noncoding mutations associated with increased cancer risk in the genome of breast cancer patients.

Background Le Fort I osteotomy is one of the surgical procedures now routinely and safely performed. It is possible to move the maxilla in three dimensions, but it is necessary to separate the bones around the maxillary sinus.

Discontinuous shear thickening without inertia in dense non-Brownian suspensions. [PDF]
A consensus is emerging that discontinuous shear thickening (DST) in dense suspensions marks a transition from a flow state where particles remain well separated by lubrication layers, to one dominated by frictional contacts. We show here that reasonable

Vascular sclerosis has been linked to many risk factors, including smoking, family history, low birth weight, and hypertension. In interesting studies, Goforth et al. show an increased rate of mutations in thrombophilic molecules in patients with vascular sclerosis in renal biopsies, suggesting yet another mechanism.

Strength through diversity: how cancers thrive when clones cooperate
Intratumor heterogeneity can offer direct benefits to the tumor through cooperation between different clones. In this review, Kuiken et al. discuss existing evidence for clonal cooperativity to identify overarching principles, and highlight how novel technological developments could address remaining open questions.

Rheological instability in a simple shear thickening model
We study the strain response to steady imposed stress in a spatially homogeneous, scalar model for shear thickening, in which the local rate of yielding \Gamma(l) of mesoscopic `elastic elements' is not monotonic in the local strain l.

Macroscopic discontinuous shear thickening versus local shear jamming in cornstarch. [PDF]
We study the emergence of discontinuous shear thickening (DST) in cornstarch by combining macroscopic rheometry with local magnetic resonance imaging measurements. We bring evidence that macroscopic DST is observed only when the flow separates into a low-

We developed a cost‐effective methylation‐specific droplet digital PCR multiplex assay containing tissue‐conserved and tumor‐specific methylation markers. The assay can detect circulating tumor DNA with high accuracy in patients with localized and metastatic colorectal cancer.

Characterization and performance analysis of a shear thickening fluid damper
Shear thickening fluid is a smart material with rheological properties that can be rapidly varied by excitation changes. To fully explore the advantages of using shear thickening fluid in various devices, a phenomenological model for simulating complex ...

Patterns of Gall Bladder Wall Thickening in Dengue Fever: A Mirror of the Severity of Disease
Background Dengue fever is a major public health problem with an increased incidence in recent years. Gall bladder wall thickening has been reported as one of the most common findings in dengue fever.
