TL;DR: It is shown that leukaemia stem cells (LSC) can maintain the global identity of the progenitor from which they arose while activating a limited stem-cell- or self-renewal-associated programme.

TL;DR: A large-scale project to characterize copy-number alterations in primary lung adenocarcinomas using dense single nucleotide polymorphism arrays identifies NKX2-1 (NK2 homeobox 1, also called TITF1), which lies in the minimal 14q13.3 amplification interval and encodes a lineage-specific transcription factor, as a novel candidate proto-oncogene involved in a significant fraction of lung carcinomas.

TL;DR: Data indicate that MCL1 is an important regulator of GC-induced apoptosis and that the combination of rapamycin and glucocorticoids has potential utility in lymphoid malignancies.

TL;DR: A methodology of multiplexed in situ hybridization (ISH) using a novel combination of quantum dot (QD)-labeled oligonucleotide probes and spectral imaging analysis in routinely processed, formalin-fixed paraffin embedded human biopsies is described.

TL;DR: The evolution of BAO related to its formal structures, engineering approaches, and content is described to enable modeling of complex assays and integration with other ontologies and datasets to enable effective integration, aggregation, retrieval, and analyses of drug screening data.
