    Identification and Mitigation of Error in the Terzaghi Bias Correction for Inhomogeneous Material Discontinuities

    Use of the scanline map** technique in geometric surveys of rock discontinuities can often lead to a bias, in that discontinuities are not always observed when they are at small angles to the scanline. Terza...

    An epithelial marker promoter induction screen identifies histone deacetylase inhibitors to restore epithelial differentiation and abolishes anchorage independence growth in cancers

    Epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT), a crucial mechanism in development, mediates aggressiveness during carcinoma progression and therapeutic refractoriness. The reversibility of EMT makes it an attractive...

    Ubiquitin D is correlated with colon cancer progression and predicts recurrence for stage II-III disease after curative surgery

    Our recent study observed that the expression of ubiquitin D (UBD), a member of ubiquitin-like modifier family, was upregulated in colon cancer parenchymal cells. The present study further investigated the cli...

    Phospholipase C delta 1 is a novel 3p22.3 tumor suppressor involved in cytoskeleton organization, with its epigenetic silencing correlated with high-stage gastric cancer

    Located at the important tumor suppressor locus, 3p22, PLCD1 encodes an enzyme that mediates regulatory signaling of energy metabolism, calcium homeostasis and intracellular movements. We identified PLCD1 as a do...
