The expression of certain CD44 variants has been linked with metastasis and tumour progression. In particular, high molecular weight forms of CD44 show restricted expression in tumours and may correlate with tumour development and metastasis. In this study, we examined the expression of CD44 variants in prostate cancer cell lines: the invasive PC-3 and DU-145, low invasive LNCaP, and two non-in...

Chris Harrison RESEARCH BRIEF

My research explores, develops and evaluates novel technologies and techniques that aim to overcome challenges in interactions between humans and computers, especially in emerging use modalities such as mobile computing, touch interfaces and gestural interaction. Beyond my immediate background in computer science, I draw on a diverse set of skills, including interaction design, physical fabrica...

The Harrison Bergeron olympics.

We appreciate Bermon and colleagues’ (2013) engagement with our critical reflection on the new hyperandrogenism policies from the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) (Karkazis et al. 2012) and thank them for characterizing it as “exceptionally thoughtful and thorough.” In the spirit of continued dialogue, we would observe that ...

Ross Granville Harrison (1870-1959)

A pioneer in experimental embryology [5], Ross Granville Harrison [4] made numerous discoveries that advanced biology. One of the most significant was his adaptation of the hanging drop method [6] from bacteriology to carry out the first tissue culture. This method allowed for further studies in embryology [5] as well as experimental improvements in oncology, virology, genetics, and a number of...
