Spying on the neighbors' pool

Spying on the environment.

This paper provides a review of the literature on the nervous system involvement incurred by children and adolescents with chronic kidney disease (CKD), with a particular focus on neuropsychological functioning. In addition to an historical overview of earlier literature, published studies from the past 14 years that address both central and peripheral nervous system function in children with C...

Spying on antigen hand-offs

Pesticide exposure may contribute to cancer by causing genetic mutations during B cell development. On page 1473, Agopian et al. show that pesticides also increase the rate of precancerous B cell proliferation. Follicular lymphoma is a B cell cancer characterized by a translocation event that occurs as activated B cells undergo AID-driven diversification of their antibody genes in germinal cent...

Spying on IgE receptor signaling

Plasma membrane organization and the potential role, or not, of lipid raft microdomains in signal transduction is a controversial topic. Cross-correlation fluorescent correlation spectroscopy (CC-FCS) shows promise as a new approach to rapidly probe protein-protein interactions in living cells during signal transduction. CC-FCS data from studies of IgE receptor signaling challenge models of lar...

Spying with the Crowd

The cooperative power of crowd workers has been recently shown to be effective in solving large-scale diverse tasks. We elaborately study one such application of collaborative crowdsourcing. In this paper, we discuss the viability and different facets of crowdspying, activity of spying with the power of crowd workers. This type of citizen involvement has diverse applications that also includes ...
