Iron–Sulfur Clusters toward Stresses: Implication for Understanding and Fighting Tuberculosis

Toward Understanding Environmental Effects in SDSS Clusters

We find clusters and superclusters of galaxies using the Data Release 1 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We calculate a low-resolution density field with a smoothing length of 10 h Mpc to characterise the density of the cluster environment. We determine the luminosity function of clusters, and investigate properties of clusters in various environments. We find that clusters in a high-density en...

Understanding Carcinogenesis for Fighting Oral Cancer

Oral cancer is one of the major global threats to public health. Oral cancer development is a tobacco-related multistep and multifocal process involving field cancerization and carcinogenesis. The rationale for molecular-targeted prevention of oral cancer is promising. Biomarkers of genomic instability, including aneuploidy and allelic imbalance, are able to measure the cancer risk of oral prem...

Understanding and Fighting Bullying With Machine Learning

Bullying, in both physical and cyber worlds, has been recognized as a serious health issue among adolescents. Given its significance, scholars are charged with identifying factors that influence bullying involvement in a timely fashion. However, previous social studies of bullying are handicapped by data scarcity. The standard psychological science approach to studying bullying is to conduct pe...

Tuberculosis and Traditional Medicine: Fighting the Oldest Infectious Disease Using the Oldest Source of Medicines

Tuberculosis (TB) is the oldest documented infectious disease. Fragments of the spinal column from Egyptian mummies from 2400 B.C. shows definite pathological signs of tubercular decay. The term phthisis (consumption) appears first in Greek literature. Hypocrates identified phthisis as the most widespread disease of the times around 460 B.C. Exact pathological and anatomical descriptions of the...
