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.

  • The Rewards of Platform Unity: Moving to One Repository at Universidad De La Salle Delivers Benefits
    Case Study The rewards of platform unity: moving to one repository at Universidad de La Salle delivers benefits To better support the mission that drives Colombia’s Universidad de La Salle — to generate knowledge that will transform Colombian society by contributing to equity, the defense of life and human development — the university recognized the need to combine three separate digital platforms into a single unifying online presence while simultaneously addressing a long list of technical challenges. After considering several options, it identified Digital Commons as the perfect fit for its needs. This case study charts the university’s decision-making process, the rewards it has subsequently reaped and eight tips for other institutions embarking on a digital repository journey. Introduction Founded in 1964, Universidad de La Salle1 is a private Catholic the other its digital educative resources. So, a cross-department institution with around 14,000 students and 700 postgraduates task force set out to find a single solution that would provide enrolled in a wide array of courses and degree programs. It them with key items on their wish list: is rated a “High Quality University” by Colombia’s National Accreditation Council2 (CNA). Back in 2018, the institution’s five • One entry point to the university’s intellectual output journals were stored on Public Knowledge Project’s Open Journal • Support for the full journal-publishing cycle Systems (OJS) platform. Initially, OJS ticked many boxes for the (including peer review) journals team, as Editorial Head Alfredo Morales recalls: “We • Robust customer support were able to consolidate all our titles, standardize publishing criteria and increase visibility inside and outside the university.” • Effective SEO and indexing of journal articles in Google Scholar • Standardization of metadata But the team also encountered issues that impacted their productivity and content discoverability.

  • 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. On the Reaxys home page, click Query builder Copyright 2017 Elsevier B.V.

  • Information for Authors
    Information for Authors The Lancet is an international general medical journal that will consider any original contribution that advances or illuminates medical science or practice, or that educates or entertains the journal’s readers. Whatever you have written, remember that it is the general reader whom you are trying to reach. One way to find out if you have succeeded is to show your draft to colleagues in other specialties. If they do not understand, neither, very probably, will The Lancet’s staff or readers. Manuscripts must be solely the work of the author(s) stated, must not have been previously published elsewhere, and must not be under consideration by another journal. For randomised controlled trials or research papers judged to warrant fast dissemination, The Lancet will publish a peer-reviewed manuscript within 4 weeks of receipt (see Swift+ and Fast-track publication). If you wish to discuss your proposed fast-track submission with an editor, please call one of the editorial offices in London (+44 [0] 20 7424 4950), New York (+1 212 633 3667), or Beijing (+86 10 852 08872).

This Balance Point column outlines some of the benefits to both companies and the reaction by the library community. Also addressed is the announcement by the Penn Libraries that they are searching for a new open source repository potentially to replace bepress’s Digital Commons. The column concludes with some discussion of Elsevier’s relationship with open access content and the impact of the acquisition on the scholarly communications infrastructure. On August 2, 2017, Elsevier announced its acquisition of bepress, the provider of the Digital Commons institutional repository platform. Digital Commons “allows institutions to collect, organize, preserve and disseminate their intellectual output, including preprints, working papers, journals or specific articles, dissertations, theses, conference proceedings and a wide variety of other data” (Elsevier, August 2, 2017). bepress’s other major service, the Experts Gallery Suite, focuses on showcasing the expertise and scholarship of faculty. At the time Elsevier acquired the company, bepress had more than 500 customers using Digital Commons, and over 100 institutions using the Experts Gallery Suite.
