METAPHOR IDENTIFICATION PROCEDURE MIPVU: AN ATTEMPT TO APPLY IT TO LITHUANIAN



The immune checkpoint adenosine 2A receptor is associated with aggressive clinical outcomes and reflects an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment in human breast cancer

BackgroundThe crosstalk between the immune system and cancer cells has aroused considerable interest over the past decades.To escape immune surveillance cancer cells evolve various strategies orchestrating tumor microenvironment.The discovery of the inhibitory immune checkpoints was a major breakthrough due to their crucial contribution to immune e

Assessing the Effect of Variable Ambient Temperature on the Self-ignition of a Reaction-diffusion System Employing a Reduced Order Modelling Methodology

The system under study in this work is a self-igniting pile of solid material.To predict and understand the effect of steep changes of the state variables on such systems, a reaction-diffusion model is employed.These systems can exhibit complex oscillatory behaviour, and changes in ambient conditions over time may strongly impact the inherent oscil
