Microsecond Pulsed Electric Fields (μsPEFs) is an option. A xenograft …             Raman spectroscopic sensing of carbonate intercalation in breast microcalcifications at stereotactic biopsy ▶     R. Sathyavathi, Anushree Saha, Jaqueline S. Soares et al.     Microcalcifications are an early mammographic sign of breast cancer and frequent target for stereotactic biopsy. Despite their indisputable value, microcalcifications, …             New insights into the causes of human illness due to consumption of azaspiracid contaminated shellfish ▶     O. P. Chevallier, S. F. Graham, E. Alonso et al.     Azaspiracid (AZA) poisoning was unknown until 1995 when shellfish harvested in Ireland caused illness manifesting by vomiting and diarrhoea. Further in vivo/vitro studies showed …             Remodeling of RecG Helicase at the DNA Replication Fork by SSB Protein ▶     Zhiqiang Sun, Hui Yin Tan, Piero R. Bianco et al.     The RecG DNA helicase a key player in stalled replication fork rescue. The single-stranded DNA binding protein (SSB) participates in this process, but its role in the interaction …             Disruption of the rice nitrate transporter OsNPF2.2 hinders root-to-shoot nitrate transport and vascular development ▶     Yuge Li, Jie Ouyang, Ya-Yun Wang et al.     Plants have evolved to express some members of the nitrate transporter 1/peptide transporter family (NPF) to uptake and transport nitrate. However, little is known of the …             Influenza A virus-dependent remodeling of pulmonary clock function in a mouse model of COPD ▶     Isaac K. Sundar, Tanveer Ahmad, Hongwei Yao et al.     Daily oscillations of pulmonary function depend on the rhythmic activity of the circadian timing system. Environmental tobacco/cigarette smoke (CS) disrupts circadian clock …             Sensorimotor transformation via sparse coding ▶     Ken Takiyama     Sensorimotor transformation is indispensable to the accurate motion of the human body in daily life. For instance, when we grasp an object, the distance from our hands to an …             SIRT7 inactivation reverses metastatic phenotypes in epithelial and mesenchymal tumors ▶     Shivani Malik, Lidia Villanova, Shinji Tanaka et al.     Metastasis is responsible for over 90% of cancer-associated mortality. In epithelial carcinomas, a key process in metastatic progression is the epigenetic reprogramming of an …             Metazoans evolved by taking domains from soluble proteins to expand intercellular communication network ▶     Hyun-Jun Nam, Inhae Kim, James U. Bowie et al.     A central question in animal evolution is how multicellular animals evolved from unicellular ancestors.

These patterns are characterized not only by individual activity rates and pairwise …             Increased signaling entropy in cancer requires the scale-free property of protein interaction networks ▶     Andrew E. Teschendorff, Christopher R. S. Banerji, Simone Severini et al.     One of the key characteristics of cancer cells is an increased phenotypic plasticity, driven by underlying genetic and epigenetic perturbations.
