How can we restore trust in news? Here are 9 takeaways from Knight-supported research » Nieman Journalism Lab | Light Senstive Infusion Set

These results led us to ask whether tumor hybrids gain selective advantages in different microenvironments that may reflect primary tumor or metastatic sites. To directly test distinct microenvironmental interactions, we evaluated adhesion phenotypes and cytokine-dependent growth responsiveness of MC38-derived fusion hybrids versus unfused tumor cells using a microenvironment microarray (MEMA) platform (25). This high-throughput assay specifically measures cellular behavior in distinct engineered microenvironments containing variable extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules, growth factors, and chemokines, spotted combinatorially in rows and columns, thus permitting comparison of adhesion phenotypes among unfused cancer cells, MФs, and hybrids. Analysis of microenvironment-specific adhesion revealed that MC38 cells harbor distinct growth factor–independent adhesive preferences for select ECM molecules, most notably, fibronectin (fig. S3C). MФs, by contrast, exhibited enhanced adhesion to collagen XXIII, vitronection (the ECM component), and more uniform adhesion across all MEMA conditions relative to unfused cancer cells (fig. S3C). Fusion hybrids exhibited a combination of adhesion biases, reflecting properties of both parental cells, potentially providing a broader adhesive affinity in different microenvironments. Further analysis, using hierarchical clustering, distinguished hybrids from unfused cancer cells with respect to adhesion on independent microenvironments (fig. S3C).

Two of the ‘rumours’ I have mentioned above were told to me by ‘KS’. Obviously her objectivity in telling them to me is compromised because she feels Doron has done wrong by her. They are however still rumours which have the potential to damage EE.

The source code used to generate figures and corresponding tables is available for download from our public repository (55).

Idhna, a town in the southern part of the West Bank that is home to some 30,000 residents, spreads out to the west of Hebron, not far from the security barrier, most of which is a high concrete wall in this area. The Awwads’ home is not far from the center of town, which during the afternoon is crowded with vehicles, some stolen from Israel, which can barely pass each other on the narrow, neglected roads.

“The results are exciting because they suggest that tau, like Aβ, may be tracked in the blood to provide insight into the CNS processing of tau,” commented Randall Bateman of Washington University in St. Louis, who was not involved in the study (Aug 2018 news). 

Korenkiewicz: “Objection, beyond the scope of the examination and foundations established for this witness.”

25 We appreciate that the decision to deal with this aspect of the work of the Panel was taken at short notice but we were attempting to utilize the time of Panel members and legal representatives as best we could.

TikTok has committed a total pledge of $2 Million dollars to inspire their community to do good through the in-app design as a way for users to come together. To achieve this goal, users must take part in the holiday filter to meet the goal.  #CreateforaCause is a celebration of the season of giving and recognizes charities that are making a difference, particularly for causes that proven to be important with the TikTok creators. The program is designed to empower users to be active, make a difference and join together to impact the world for the better.

However, there are compelling reasons to continue to study CTCs, said Goldkorn. CTCs still represent the entire content of the cancer cells that make up the primary tumor and metastases. “DNA is just one part of the profile, whereas CTCs are living cells that contain the entire complement of DNA, RNA, and protein.” By definition, ctDNA is only a subset of tumor DNA, DNA fragments that were released from dying cells. The bottom line, Goldkorn said, is that researchers have yet to complete the kind of large, prospective, well-controlled studies needed to determine which approach, CTC-based technologies or ctDNA-based ones, best informs treatment decisions and improves clinical outcomes. “That’s the kind of work that needs to be done.”
