INTRODUCTION Melanoma and Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) are both aggressive skin malignancies associated with immunosuppression and possible UV exposure. Both tumors get similar surgical treatment; however, MCC is a relatively rare tumor in which less is known about prognosis and clinical behavior. METHODS The California Cancer Registry (CCR), a population-based registry, was reviewed from the ...

Jose Pozo, EPIC's CTO, talks to Jimena García-Romeu, CEO of Alcyon Photonics, a provider photonic building blocks, PDKs and simulation software aid PIC design fabrication.

In this study, we investigate whether the stable segregation of proteins and lipids within the yeast plasma membrane serves a particular biological function. We show that 21 proteins cluster within or associate with the ergosterol-rich membrane compartment of Can1 (MCC). However, proteins of the endocytic machinery are excluded from MCC. In a screen, we identified 28 genes affecting MCC appeara...

Abstract Contemporarily, the dramatic progress that proceeded in astrophysical simulation stems from computational upgrade. Simultaneously, relative algorithms are naive to mature. Some imaginary spring up like bamboo. The typical methods Monte-Carlo, Particle-in-Cell, and Magnetohydrodynamic considering relativistic effect. This paper reviews of above three as well their hybrid method astrophy...

BACKGROUND Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare skin cancer that was recently found to be associated with a polyomavirus and with immunosuppression, provoking new interest in its epidemiology. We conducted a nationwide study in Denmark to describe MCC incidence and mortality and the association between MCC and other cancers. METHODS We used data from Danish national health and population reg...

BACKGROUND Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an increasingly common neuroendocrine cancer of the skin. Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) is one of the causative agents of MCC. The prevalence of MCPyV in primary MCC and sun-exposed non-MCC tumors has been known to have different results depending on where it was investigated. OBJECTIVE This study assesses the prevalence of MCPyV from primary MCC a...

In many species submucosal glands are an important source of tracheal mucus, but the extent to which mucociliary clearance (MCC) depends on gland secretion is unknown. To explore this relationship, we measured basal and agonist-stimulated MCC velocities in ex vivo tracheas from adult ferrets and compared the velocities with previously measured rates of ferret glandular mucus secretion (Cho HJ, ...

mycoplasma capricolum subsp capricolum (mcc) is one of the etiological agents of contagious agalactia(c.a) in goats which can cause significant economic losses. the aim of this study was to detect mcc from goats of qom province in iran. a total of 111 samples were collected from suspected goats to c.a and cultured in pplo broth supplemented for mcc isolation. the bacteria dnas were extracted fr...
