Investigating the steady state of multicellular spheroids by revisiting the two-fluid model by Antonio Fasano, Marco Gabrielli, Alberto Gandolfi

“…In this paper we examine the steady state of tumour spheroids consideringa structure in which the central necrotic region contains an inner liquidcore surrounded by dead cells that keep some mechanical integrity.This partition is a consequence of assuming that a finite delayis required for the degradation of dead cells into liquid.The phenomenological assumption of constant local volume fraction ofcells is also made. …”

Bilateral Radial Ulnar Synostosis and Vertebral Anomalies in a Child with a De Novo 16p13.3 Interstitial Deletion by Allison Tam, Kit Shan Lee, Sansan Lee, William Burkhalter, Lucio U. Pascua, Thomas P. Slavin

“…We describe an 8-year-old boy with developmental delay, clinical bilateral radial ulnar synostosis, Klippel-Feil anomaly, and other vertebral deformities who was found to have a de novo deletion of 114.5kb at 16p13.3. The deletion contains five genes and three miRNAs. The genes are E4F1, DNASE1L2, ECI1, RNPS1, and ABCA3; miRNAs are MIR3677, MIR940, and MIR4717. …”

The Roles of Siglec7 and Siglec9 on Natural Killer Cells in Virus Infection and Tumour Progression by Yayun Zheng, Xue Ma, Dongmei Su, Yue Zhang, Lin Yu, Fangfei Jiang, Xue Zhou, Ying Feng, Fang Ma

“…Previous studies have shown that Siglec7 and Siglec9 are expressed on NK cells, which negatively regulate the function of NK cells and modulate the immune response through the interaction of sialic acid-containing ligands. Siglec7 and Siglec9 are very similar in distribution, gene encoding, protein sequences, ligand affinity, and functions in regulating the immune system against virus and cancers, but differences still exist between them. …”
