Myeloid cells represent amajor component of the tumormicroenvironment, where they play divergent dual roles. They can induce antitumor immune responses, but mostly they promote immune evasion, tumor progression, and metastasis formation. Thus, strategies aiming at reprogramming the tumor microenvironment represent a promising immunotherapy approach. Myeloid cells respond to environmental factor...

An incremental, nonparametric probability estimation procedure using the fuzzy ARTMAP (adaptive resonance theory-supervised predictive mapping) neural network is introduced. In the slow-learning mode, fuzzy ARTMAP searches for patterns of data on which to build ever more accurate estimates. In max-nodes mode, the network initially learns a fixed number of categories, and weights are then adjust...

Microvascular growth and remodeling in the adult animal involves angiogenesis, arteriogenesis, and regression. Many cellular behaviors, such as proliferation, differentiation, migration, and apoptosis contribute to these processes, and coordination of these events is achieved via combinations of biochemical and biomechanical signals. This study examines patterning changes in subcutaneous microv...

An ongoing program at the Queensland Institute of Medical Research (QIMR) uses a resource of adolescent twins (2720 individuals) and their singleton siblings (1179), constituting 1324 families. A large number (4 500 families) have participated in two main studies (the mole and the cognition studies) with the aim of identifying genetic polymorphisms associated with moliness and cognitive functio...

I first summarize Baltag and Smets’ contribution to this volume, and praise their work. Then I compare the anti-lexicographic plausibility update that they propose to a proposal by Aucher, as an illustration of the difference between a qualitative and a quantitive formulation of updates. I quote Spohn’s original work that is at the root of research in plausibility updates and of the notion of a...
