TL;DR: Knowing the total cell number of the human body as well as of individual organs is important from a cultural, biological, medical and comparative modelling point of view.

TL;DR: The new version of SpliceAid 2 can be useful to foresee the splicing pattern alteration, to guide the identification of the molecular effect due to the mutations and to understand the tissue‐specific alternative splicing.

TL;DR: The overall results of this exploratory study suggest the utility of H. aspersa as a sentinel organism for biomonitoring the biologic impact of atmospheric pollution in urban areas and an ecotoxicologic approach to evaluate both bioaccumulation and toxicologic effects caused by airborne pollutants.

TL;DR: A deep understanding of the metabolic phenotype of bladder cancer will provide novel opportunities for targeted therapeutic strategies, as well as contribute to cancer metabolic switch and tumor cell proliferation.

TL;DR: A new model presented here for comprehensive assessment of hazards associated to polluted sediments efficiently discriminates between the various conditions, both as individual modules and as an integrated final evaluation, and it appears to be a powerful tool to support more complex processes of environmental risk assessment.
