The role of fibroblasts in cancer progression, therapy resistance and field cancerization by Chan, Jeremy Soon Kiat

“…Most anticancer treatments to date are targeted at the tumor epithelia and neglect the critical roles played by CAFs. Moreover, tumor resistance and relapse are persistent challenges faced by patients and clinicians, suggesting an incomplete understanding of tumor-stroma co-evolution that severely limits the sustained efficacy of existing anticancer drugs. …”

Free vibration properties of beetle elytron plate: Composite material, stacked structure and boundary conditions by Song, Yiheng, Hao, Ning, Ruan, Sihan, He, Chaochao, Quanjin, Ma

“…Additionally, foam filling plays a decisive role in local deformation. 3) When the total height of the sandwich plate is controlled, the improvement of the boundary conditions can effectively boost its 2nd-order frequency (approximately 200%), but the 1st-order frequency can be significantly increased (approximately 140%) only when all four sides are improved. 4) In the case of controlling the height of the single layer of the sandwich plate, its frequency gradually increases with the increase in the number of stacked layers. …”
