The conventional design of steel structure objects relies on a first-order elastic analysis, where the entire object is treated as a set of individual structural elements requiring time-consuming, ...

The lymph nodes in the armpit are often the first place breast cancer spreads to. Everyone with invasive breast cancer ...

Key nodes are similar to important hubs in a network structure, which can directly determine the robustness and stability of the network. By effectively identifying and protecting these critical nodes ...

In aggressive lymphomas, inflammatory messengers reprogram the "conductors" of the immune system, causing lymph nodes structure to collapse. A team led by Simon Haas describes in "Nature Cancer" this ...

Structure of a lymph node whose endothelial cells (green) are capturing the nanovesicles called exosomes (red) that have moved to the node from a tumor.

Tumors, such as melanoma, release nanovesicles called exosomes (gray) that travel and lodge in the lymph nodes. There they corrupt the behavior of lymph cells. The lymphatic vessels (green) branch out ...
