Mechanical Deformation Mediated Transmembrane Transport
Mechanical Deformation Mediated Transmembrane Transport: Transmembrane transport is reported to be controlled dynamically and precisely, yet without restructuring molecules by mechanical deformation. This strategy can dynamically regulate the transport of molecules across liposomal bilayer by stretching and loosening. The transport can be switched on and off, and accurately tuned by varying strain. The entire transport process can be simply regulated by applying external mechanical force. AbstractTransmembrane...

Symbiotic collision tumour of the scalp: squamous cell carcinoma and malignant melanoma
Symbiotic collision tumour of the scalp: squamous cell carcinoma and malignant melanoma: AbstractCutaneous collision tumours are the co‐existence of two tumours of different histopathological morphologies that coincide at the same or adjacent anatomical sites. A large scalp nodule excised from a 70 year‐old man revealed a collision tumour composed of cells of squamous carcinoma (SCC) and malignant melanoma. Immunohistochemistry using dual staining for melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma demonstrated...

Gene Expression Profiling of Head and Neck Tumors Identifies FOXP1 and SOX10 Expression as Useful for Distinguishing Ameloblastoma From Basaloid Salivary Gland Tumors
Gene Expression Profiling of Head and Neck Tumors Identifies FOXP1 and SOX10 Expression as Useful for Distinguishing Ameloblastoma From Basaloid Salivary Gland Tumors: Odontogenic tumors show considerable morphologic heterogeneity and at times the diagnosis can be challenging. Ameloblastoma, the most common odontogenic tumor, can have morphologic similarity to some salivary gland tumors and therefore we sought to identify biomarkers that might aid in the diagnosis by performing transcriptome wide...
