In live cells, many enhancer-binding transcription factors exchange rapidly with their binding sites and leave no footprints in chromatin. Available data suggests a highly dynamic mechanism for enhancer activation, involving numerous stochastic binding events at a target enhancer.
Ingestion of engineered nanomaterials is inevitable due to their addition to food and prevalence in food packaging and domestic products such as toothpaste and sunscreen.

A recent review discusses the various factors that promote bottled water as superior to tap water.
The average person seeking climate information is likely to begin with the internet, and this quickly leads to a confusing array of very dissimilar climate information websites. A recent article reviews a representative sample of such websites from across the world, and draws out key issues for consideration in the ongoing evolution of them.
The colonization of a 3D engineered scaffold is investigated, in the perspective of producing realistic 3D environments for cell culture

A high-throughput tensile testing technique has been implemented, which utilizes high-resolution cameras to track the deformation during testing.
Virtual endovascular treatment models (VETMs) have been developed with the view to aid interventional neuroradiologists and neurosurgeons to pre-operatively analyse the comparative efficacy and safety of endovascular treatments for intracranial aneurysms. Current deterministic computational simulations need to be extended with strategies for uncertainty mitigation, uncertainty exploration, and sensitivity reduction techniques.
