Tumor cell-intrinsic signals promoting tolerance and adaptation to oncogenic kinase inhibition by Flower, Cameron Timothy

“…Using commonly prescribed TK inhibitors (TKIs), I show that TK genetic status generally predicts whether or not a cell line will show any response to genotype-matched TKI (GM-TKI), but is insufficient to predict drug tolerance, the ability of a cell line to sustain proliferation under drug. …”

The Battle for ‘Trayvon Martin’: Mapping a Media Controversy Online and Offline by Graeff, Erhardt

“…But the story gained attention and controversy over Martin’s death dominated headlines, airwaves, and Twitter for months, thanks to a savvy publicist working on behalf of the victim’s parents and a series of campaigns off–line and online. Using the theories of networked gatekeeping and networked framing, we map out the vast media ecosystem using quantitative data about the content generated around the Trayvon Martin story in both off–line and online media, as well as measures of engagement with the story, to trace the interrelations among mainstream media, nonprofessional and social media, and their audiences. …”
