      Gibson, William J.; Hoivik, Erling A.; Halle, Mari K.; Taylor-Weiner, Amaro; Cherniack, Andrew D.; Berg, Anna; Holst, Frederik; Zack, Travis I.; Werner, Henrica M. J.; Staby, Kjersti M.; Rosenberg, Mara; Stefansson, Ingunn M.; Kusonmano, Kanthida; Chevalier, Aaron; Mauland, Karen K.; Trovik, Jone; Krakstad, Camilla; Giannakis, Marios; Hodis, Eran; Woie, Kathrine; Bjorge, Line; Vintermyr, Olav K.; Wala, Jeremiah A.; Lawrence, Michael S.; Getz, Gad; Carter, Scott L.; Beroukhim, Rameen; Salvesen, Helga B. (2016)
      Recent studies have detailed the genomic landscape of primary endometrial cancers, but their evolution into metastases has not been characterized. We performed whole-exome sequencing of 98 tumor biopsies including complex ...

    • A Paper-Based Invasion Assay: Assessing Chemotaxis of Cancer Cells in Gradients of Oxygen 

      Mosadegh, Bobak; Lockett, Matthew; Minn, Kyaw Thu; Simon, Karen Alambra; Gilbert, Karl; Hillier, Shawn; Newsome, David; Li, Howard Jiahau; Hall, Amy B.; Boucher, Diane M.; Eustace, Brenda K.; Whitesides, George McClelland (Elsevier BV, 2015)
      This work describes a 3D, paper-based assay that can isolate subpopulations of cells based on their invasiveness (i.e., distance migrated in a hydrogel) in a gradient of concentration of oxygen (O2). Layers of paper ...

    • Practical Applications of Cosmology to Human Society 

      Chaisson, Eric J. (Scientific Research Publishing, Inc,, 2014)
      Complex systems throughout Nature display structures and functions that are built and maintained, at least in part, by optimal energies flowing through them—not specific, ideal values, rather ranges in energy rate density ...
