A central parameter for evaluating tax policies is the price elasticity of demand for cigarettes.
But in many countries this parameter is difficult to estimate reliably due to widespread …

Most research using cross-country data find income elasticities equal to or exceeding unity
with respect to health expenditure. These conclusions might be confounded due to omitted …

We study the cause of large fluctuations in prices on the London Stock Exchange. This is
done at the microscopic level of individual events, where an event is the placement or …

Stress granules (SGs) are transient ribonucleoprotein (RNP) aggregates that form during
cellular stress and are increasingly implicated in human neurodegeneration. To study the …

Cell–cell interactions define a quintessential aspect of multicellular development. Metazoan
morphogenesis depends on a handful of fundamental, conserved cellular interaction …

Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), a recessive hereditary neurodegenerative disease in
humans, has been linked to mutations in the survival motor neuron (SMN) gene. SMA patients …

The Notch signaling pathway defines a conserved mechanism that regulates cell fate
decisions in metazoans. Signaling is modulated by a broad and multifaceted genetic circuitry, …

Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is caused by diminished function of the Survival of Motor
Neuron (SMN) protein, but the molecular pathways critical for SMA pathology remain elusive. …

Cells respond to physical stimuli, such as stiffness 1 , fluid shear stress 2 and hydraulic
pressure 3 , 4 . Extracellular fluid viscosity is a key physical cue that varies under physiological …

In this study, the emergence of social movements is examined. To understand why social
movements are born (and grow), we looked at the following theories that try to understand the …
