  Regional disparities exist due to the uneven impact of economic development. The World Bank's World Development Report (2009) advocates that attempts to spread out economic activity will undermine growth. This study finds ...
• Functional classification of DNA variants by hybrid minigenes: identification of 30 spliceogenic variants of BRCA2 exons 17 and 18 

  Fraile-Bethencourt, Eugenia; Díez-Gómez, Beatriz; Velásquez-Zapata, Valeria; Acedo, Alberto; Sanz, David J.; Velasco, Eladio A. (Public Library of Science, 2017)

  Mutation screening of the breast cancer genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 identifies a large fraction of variants of uncertain clinical significance (VUS) whose functional and clinical interpretations pose a challenge for genomic ...
• Distinct populations of inflammatory fibroblasts and myofibroblasts in pancreatic cancer 

  Öhlund, Daniel; Handly-Santana, Abram; Biffi, Giulia; Elyada, Ela; Almeida, Ana S.; Ponz-Sarvise, Mariano; Corbo, Vincenzo; Oni, Tobiloba E.; Hearn, Stephen A.; Lee, Eun Jung; Chio, Iok In Christine; Hwang, Chang-Il; Tiriac, Herve; Baker, Lindsey A.; Engle, Dannielle D.; Feig, Christine; Kultti, Anne; Egeblad, Mikala; Fearon, Douglas T.; Crawford, James M.; Clevers, Hans; Park, Youngkyu; Tuveson, David A. (Rockefeller University Press, 2017)

  Pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) differentiate into cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) that produce desmoplastic stroma, thereby modulating disease progression and therapeutic response in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma ...
• Redox biology response in germinating Phaseolus vulgaris seeds exposed to copper: evidence for differential redox buffering in seedlings and cotyledon 

  Karmous, Ines; Trevisan, Rafael; El Ferjani, Ezzeddine; Chaoui, Abdelilah; Sheehan, David (Public Library of Science, 2017)

  In agriculture, heavy metal contamination of soil interferes with processes associated with plant growth, development and productivity. Here, we describe oxidative and redox changes, and deleterious injury within cotyledons ...
• An observational study on sport-induced modulation of negative attitude towards disability 

  Ottoboni, Giovanni; Milani, Melissa; Setti, Annalisa; Ceciliani, Andrea; Chattat, Rabih; Tessari, Alessia (Public Library of Science, 2017)

  The present study investigates whether sport activities involving children with a disability can reduce negative attitudes towards disability in children without disability. We compared the effect of being schoolmate or ...
