JOURNEY THROUGH THE GROAN ZONE WITH ACADEMICS AND PRACTITIONERS: BRIDGING CONFLICT AND DIFFERENCE TO STRENGTHEN DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND RECOVERY WORK

Journey Through the Groan Zone with Academics and Practitioners: Bridging Conflict and Difference to Strengthen Disaster Risk Reduction and Recovery Work

Abstract Academic-practitioner divides in disaster management and research can be persistent and pernicious, bearing consequences for disaster survivors and future affected populations.The gap between disaster professionals and academic researchers is often treated as an unavoidable structural problem or a neutral accident of professional silos and

LIGHT SHEET FLUORESCENCE MICROSCOPY COMBINED WITH OPTICAL CLEARING METHODS AS A NOVEL IMAGING TOOL IN BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH

In the past decade, imaging has advanced to become a crucial tool in fundamental and biomedical research and it has become increasingly important to be able to image whole organs with single cell resolution.Light sheet fluorescence microscopy, also here called selective plane illumination microscopy or ultramicroscopy, provides a high resolution in

Advances and challenges of exosome-derived noncoding RNAs for hepatocellular carcinoma diagnosis and treatment

Exosomes, also termed extracellular vesicles (EVs), are an important component of the tumor microenvironment (TME) and exert versatile effects on the molecular communications in the TME of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Exosome-mediated intercellular communication is closely associated with the tumorigenesis and development of HCC.Exosomes can be e
