P1.106. Proteomic Signatures of Chemoresistance in Oesophageal Adenocarcinoma Cell Models
Abstract Topic Esophageal Cancer: Molecular Biology/Pathology Background Oesophageal adenocarcinoma is a rapidly rising cancer with poor prognosis. Despite advances in surgery, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy, five-year survival remains below 20%. Treatment failure is largely...

Relating biomarkers and phenotypes using dynamical trap spaces
Connecting the dynamics of biomolecular networks to experimentally measurable cell phenotypes remains a central challenge in systems biology. Here, we introduce a model-based definition of phenotype as a partial steady state that is committed to a certain dynamical outcome while...

Symmetry-Broken Biphasic WS2 NanowhiskeredHeterostructures Enable Field-Induced NO2 Sensing
Abstract Van der Waals (vdW) materials have garnered ample interest as next-generation sensors and catalysts, owing to high surface-to-volume ratio, defect tunability, easy modulation of active sites, and convenience in device fabrication. However, one major drawback delimiting s...

Percentiles for crying, regurgitation, stool consistency, and CoMiSSTM in presumed healthy infants
Parents frequently consult health care professionals because of infant regurgitation, crying and stool consistency. The Cow’s Milk-related Symptom Score (CoMiSS TM ) is an awareness tool for cow’s milk allergy. We aimed to characterize the distribution of CoMiSS items in presumed...

Abstract Liddicoatite, ideally Ca(Li2Al)Al6(Si6O18)(BO3)3(OH)3OH, is a new mineral species of the tourmaline supergroup and the OH-dominant analogue of fluor-liddicoatite. The name liddicoatite was originally applied to a species that was subsequently renamed fluor-liddicoatite f...

Timing pattern of Common Cuckoo parasitism and its relation to host nest attendance
Classical works show the adaptive importance of precise timing of egg‐laying in brood parasitic Common Cuckoos Cuculus canorus to ensure sufficient incubation time and successful hatching. Laying in the late afternoon has been suggested to increase the chance of secretive parasit...

Digitally Supported Trust in Social Work With Children of Incarcerated Parents
ABSTRACT Children of incarcerated parents are frequently overlooked despite the effects of parental incarceration on their well‐being, relational security, social inclusion and participation. This article examines the conditions under which digital social work can support relatio...
