    miR-9 Does Not Regulate Lamin A Expression in Metastatic Cells from Lung Adenocarcinoma 
    Guinde, Julien; Benoit, Audrey; Frankel, Diane; Robert, Stéphane; Ostacolo, Kevin; Lévy, Nicolas; Astoul, Philippe; Roll, Patrice; Kaspi, Elise (MDPI AG, 2020-02-26)
    In lung adenocarcinoma, low lamin A expression in pleural metastatic cells has been proposed as a pejorative factor. miR-9 physiologically inhibits the expression of lamin A in neural cells and seems to be a central actor in the carcinogenesis and the ...

    Reading Societies in Iceland Their foundation, Role, and the Destiny of Their Book Collections 
    Júlíusdóttir, Stefanía (Tampere University Press, 2013)
    The main aim of this article is to look at how collections of printed reading material for use by the Icelandic public developed, compared to the development in the neighbouring countries; and an attempt is made to trace what became of their book collections.
