TLDR
Investigations compel the view that the ratio of the vital capacity to the body length, trunk length, chest circumference, surface area or weight or any combination of these measurements, is too variable to admit of any workable standard or normal value.Abstract:
These investigations and several others that have beenpublishedwithin recentyears compel us us to hold the view that the ratio of the vital capacity to the body length, trunk length, chest circumference,surfacearea or weight or any combination of thesemeasurements, is too variable to admit of any workable standardor normal value. On the other hand the vital capacity of each individual, after he had becomeaccustomedto the use of the spirometer,will be found to be subjectto but small variations as long as good health is maintained. Thereseems to beevidenceto show that a reductionin the vital capacityis ofen the first sign of a progressivedamageto the respiratorytissue.read more

Understanding the Warburg Effect: The Metabolic Requirements of Cell Proliferation
TL;DR: It is proposed that the metabolism of cancer cells, and indeed all proliferating cells, is adapted to facilitate the uptake and incorporation of nutrients into the biomass needed to produce a new cell.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an approach for efficient and intuitive visualization tools able to scale to very large data sets and to flexibly integrate multiple data types, including clinical data.

TL;DR: This work has revealed the genomic landscapes of common forms of human cancer, which consists of a small number of “mountains” (genes altered in a high percentage of tumors) and a much larger number of "hills" (Genes altered infrequently).

TL;DR: The first installment of a reference collection of gene-expression profiles from cultured human cells treated with bioactive small molecules is created, and it is demonstrated that this “Connectivity Map” resource can be used to find connections among small molecules sharing a mechanism of action, chemicals and physiological processes, and diseases and drugs.

TL;DR: Most of the hallmarks of cancer are enabled and sustained to varying degrees through contributions from repertoires of stromal cell types and distinctive subcell types, which presents interesting new targets for anticancer therapy.

TL;DR: The genome sequence of single cells isolated from brain glioblastomas was examined, which revealed shared chromosomal changes but also extensive transcription variation, including genes related to signaling, which represent potential therapeutic targets.
