Tissue and Cell is devoted to original research on the organization of cells, subcellular and extracellular components at all levels, including the grouping and interrelations of cells in tissues and organs. The journal encourages submission of ultrastructural studies that provide novel insights into structure, function and physiology of cells and tissues, in health and disease. Bioengineering and stem cells studies focused on the description of morphological and/or histological data are also welcomed. Studies investigating the effect of compounds and/or substances on structure of cells and tissues are generally outside the scope of this journal. For consideration, studies should contain a clear rationale on the use of (a) given substance(s), have a compelling morphological and structural focus and present novel incremental findings from previous literature.

  • Fractional Authorship & Publication Productivity
    ICSR PERSPECTIVES ICSR Fractional Authorship & Publication Productivity Highlights Authors divide their research output across publications, contributing via research collaborations The trend is for authors to produce more publications per year (increased fractionalization) but for the overall number of publications per author to decrease We suggest that the effort required to participate in research collaborations is a factor in the decrease in publications per author AUGUST 2019 AUGUST Are authors collaborating more in response to the pressure to publish?

  • Using Open Access Literature to Guide Full-Text Query Formulation Heather A
    Using open access literature to guide full-text query formulation Heather A. Piwowar and Wendy W. Chapman Background Much scientific knowledge is contained in the details of the full-text biomedical literature. Most research in automated retrieval presupposes that the target literature can be downloaded and preprocessed prior to query. Unfortunately, this is not a practical or maintainable option for most users due to licensing restrictions, website terms of use, and sheer volume. Scientific article full-text is increasingly queriable through portals such as PubMed Central, Highwire Press, Scirus, and Google Scholar. However, because these portals only support very basic Boolean queries and full text is so expressive, formulating an effective query is a difficult task for users. We propose improving the formulation of full-text queries by using the open access literature as a proxy for the literature to be searched. We evaluated the feasibility of this approach by building a high-precision query for identifying studies that perform gene expression microarray experiments. Methodology and Results We built decision rules from unigram and bigram features of the open access literature. Minor syntax modifications were needed to translate the decision rules into the query languages of PubMed Central, Highwire Press, and Google Scholar. We mapped all retrieval results to PubMed identifiers and considered our query results as the union of retrieved articles across all portals. Compared to our reference standard, the derived full- text query found 56% (95% confidence interval, 52% to 61%) of intended studies, and 90% (86% to 93%) of studies identified by the full-text search met the reference standard criteria.

  • Inhibitors of Target Workflow
    Inhibitors of Target Which Substances are Potent and Selective Inhibitors of Target? Potent and Selective COX-2 It is clear that COX-2 plays an important role in tumor and endothelial cell biology. Increased expression of COX-2 occurs in multiple cells within the tumor microenvironment that can impact on angiogenesis. COX-2 appears to: Play a key role in the release and activity of proangiogenic proteins; Result in the production of eicosanoid products TXA2, PGI2, PGE2 that directly stimulate endothelial cell migration and angiogenesis in vivo, and Result in enhanced tumor cell, and possibly, vascular endothelial cell survival by upregulation of the antiapoptotic proteins Bcl-2 and/or activation of PI3K-Akt. Selective pharmacologic inhibition of COX-2 represents a viable therapeutic option for the treatment of malignancies. Agents that selectively inhibit COX-2 demonstrate that chronic treatment for angiogenesis inhibition is feasible. As a continuous research for discovery of new COX-2 inhibitors, new synthetic potent and selective inhibitors of COX-2 are of great interest as antiangiogenic agent. Let’s search for potent and selective inhibitors of Cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) versus Cyclooxygenase COX-1. Define the Search Query using the Query builder 1.

Taylor, University of Georgia Available at: https://works.bepress.com/philip-dixon/36/ 300 INVITED FEATURE Ecological Applications Vol. 8, No. 2 Ecological Applications, 8(2), 1998, pp. 300±308 q 1998 by the Ecological Society of America DETECTING TRENDS IN SPECIES COMPOSITION THOMAS E. PHILIPPI,PHILIP M. DIXON, AND BARBARA E. TAYLOR Savannah River Ecology Laboratory, Drawer E, Aiken, South Carolina 29802-0005 USA Abstract. Species composition re¯ects a combination of environmental and historical events at a site; hence, changes in species composition can provide a sensitive measure of ecologically relevant changes in the environment. Here, we consider the analysis of species composition when multiple sites are followed through time. Analyses of temporal trends in species composition either summarize species compo- sition into a few metrics (indices or axis scores) or analyze the similarity among sites. We develop and illustrate the similarity approach. Each pair of samples represents a pair of replicates, a pair from the same site at different times, a pair from different sites at the same time, or an unrelated pair. Differences among times can be estimated by comparing average temporal dissimilarity to average replicate dissimilarity. Temporal trends can be described by one of three statistics that measure progressive change, the correlation of temporal dissimilarity with the length of time between samples. These methods are illus- trated using data on changes in a South Carolina zooplankton assemblage following dis- turbance, and changes in bird species composition on Skokholm Island, Wales.
