Animal models of cancer metastasis to the bone

Cancer metastasis is a major cause of mortality from several tumors, including those of the breast, prostate, and the thyroid gland.Since bone tissue is one of the most common sites of metastasis, the treatment of bone metastases is crucial for the cure of cancer.Hence, disease jomeed furniture models must be developed to understand the process of

Topological strings, strips and quivers

Abstract We find a direct relation between quiver representation theory and open topological string theory on a class of toric Calabi-Yau manifolds without compact four-cycles, also referred to as strip geometries.We show that various quantities that characterize open topological string theory on these manifolds, such as partition functions, Gromov
