MeSH headings : 3',5'-Cyclic-AMP Phosphodiesterases / genetics; 3',5'-Cyclic-AMP Phosphodiesterases / metabolism; Cell Line, Tumor; Cell Movement / genetics; Gene Expression Regulation, Neoplastic; Genome-Wide Association Study; Humans; Integrin beta Chains / genetics; Integrin beta Chains / metabolism; Matrix Metalloproteinase 9 / genetics; Matrix Metalloproteinase 9 / metabolism; Mutation; Phenotype; RNA Interference; RNA, Small Interfering / genetics; Receptors, Metabotropic Glutamate / genetics; Receptors, Metabotropic Glutamate / metabolism; S100 Calcium-Binding Protein A4 / genetics; S100 Calcium-Binding Protein A4 / metabolism
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that metastasized cells are less migratory due in part to the post-metastatic downregulation of S100A4 and GRM3, which may help prevent bone metastasis. (via Semantic Scholar)

2017 conference paper

Insights from an experimental study on the crosswind flight of a lab-scale buoyant air turbine

2017 American Control Conference (ACC). Presented at the 2017 American Control Conference (ACC).

Event: 2017 American Control Conference (ACC)

TL;DR: Results show that (i) crosswind motion can be achieved at a variety of flow speeds, (ii) roll set-points with periods between 4 and 6 seconds are most effective out of the conditions tested, and (iii) at low flow speed, the system can oscillate, even when unprompted by a periodicRoll set-point trajectory.
