273 IQGAP proteins in psoriasis: is it only about scaffold?

Serum prolactin level in psoriasis: Is it really higher than in healthy individuals?

Background: Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated skin diseasewith a genetic predisposition. Prolactin may contribute to psoriasispathogenesis. However, there has been a debate over the serumlevel of prolactin in psoriatic patients. The aim of this study was todescribe the role of serum prolactin in the pathogenesis of psoriasisMethod: The serum prolactin level was measured in 45 patientswith ...

Forecasting: it is not about statistics, it is about dynamics.

In 1963, the mathematician and meteorologist Edward Lorenz published a paper (Lorenz 1963 J. Atmos. Sci. 20, 130-141) that changed the way scientists think about the prediction of geophysical systems, by introducing the ideas of chaos, attractors, sensitivity to initial conditions and the limitations to forecasting nonlinear systems. Three years earlier, the mathematician and engineer Rudolf Ka...

Chromosome Scaffold is a Double-Stranded Assembly of Scaffold Proteins

Chromosome higher order structure has been an enigma for over a century. The most important structural finding has been the presence of a chromosome scaffold composed of non-histone proteins; so-called scaffold proteins. However, the organization and function of the scaffold are still controversial. Here, we use three dimensional-structured illumination microscopy (3D-SIM) and focused ion beam/...

Information Diffusion and Provenance of Interactions in Twitter: Is it only about Retweets?

This paper sheds light on the different interaction types among social media users that benefit information diffusion and provenance analysis. In particular, we identify explicit and implicit interactions in Twitter, including informal conventions applied by users. In our empirical evaluation considering only retweets, the most common means of information propagation in Twitter, we can infer 50...
