The native hunters are perfectly acquainted with this fact, and always cross over the river when they want to procure particular animals, which are found even on the ...

The Hudson: a river runs through an environmental controversy.

Background: Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) in alveolar epithelial cells (AECs) has been widely observed in patients suffering interstitial pulmonary fibrosis. In vitro studies have also demonstrated that AECs could convert into myofibroblasts following exposure to TGF-β1.

Malaria: A sporozoite runs through it

A recent study reveals new insights into the development of Plasmodium sporozoites, the infectious agents of malaria. These findings may lead to changes in the approach to malaria vaccines and novel interpretations of the mechanisms of immunity to malaria.

Promoting Repeatability Through Open Runs

The 2015 Text REtrieval Conference (TREC) introduced the concept of ‘Open Runs’ in response to the increasing focus on repeatability of information retrieval experiments. An Open Run is a TREC submission backed by a software repository such that the software in the repository reproduces the system that created that exact run. The ID of the repository was captured during the process of submittin...
