THE STUDY OF ESTABLISHMENT OF AN IN VIVO TUMOR MODEL BY THREE-DIMENSIONAL CELLS CULTURE SYSTEMS METHODS AND EVALUATION OF ANTITUMOR EFFECT OF BIOTIN-CONJUGATED PULLULAN ACETATE NANOPARTICLES

The study of establishment of an in vivo tumor model by three-dimensional cells culture systems methods and evaluation of antitumor effect of biotin-conjugated pullulan acetate nanoparticles

In this study, three-dimensional (3D) hydrogels were used for human Grill Side Rack hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells culture systems in vitro and establishment of an in vivo xenografted tumor model.Based on our previous work on the biotin-conjugated pullulan acetate nanoparticles (Bio-PA NPs) as anticancer drug carriers, we further studied th

Evolution of Lactase Persistence: Turbo-Charging Adaptation in Growth Under the Selective Pressure of Maternal Mortality?

The emergence of the capacity to digest milk in some populations represents a landmark in human evolution, linking genetic change with a component of niche construction, namely dairying.Alleles promoting continued activity of the enzyme lactase through the life-course (lactase persistence) evolved in several global regions within the last 7,000 yea

Algorithm aversion is too often presented as though it were non-compensatory: A reply to Longoni et al. (2020)

We clarify two points made in our commentary (Pezzo & Beckstead, 2020, this issue) on a recent paper by Longoni, Bonezzi, and Morewedge (2019).In both Experiments 1 and 4 from their paper, it is not possible to determine whether accuracy can compensate for algorithm aversion.Experiments 3A-C, however, do show a strong effect of accuracy such that A
