Fluid–fluid interfaces, laden with polymers, particles or other surface-active moieties, often show a rheologically complex response to deformations, in particular when strong lateral interactions are present between these moieties. The of the interface can then no longer be described by an isotropic surface tension alone. These “structured” soft-matter interfaces found many industrial applicat...

About 10 years have elapsed since the first whole-genome scanning studies in the mouse to identify loci that affect susceptibility or resistance to tumorigenesis. In that time, >100 cancer modifiers have been mapped, and four strong candidate genes have been identified. Cancer modifier loci affect almost all types of mouse tumorigenesis, with some loci acting on the entire tumorigenic process, ...
