    Abstract Macropinocytosis is one of the major mechanisms by which cancer cells uptake extracellular nutrients from tumor microenvironment (TME) and plays very important roles in various steps of tumorigenesis. We previously reported the unexpected finding that intratumoral and extracellular ATP (eATP), as one of the major drastically upregulated extracellular nutrients and messengers in tumors, is taken up by cancer cells through macropinocytosis in large quantities and significantly contributing to cancer cell growth, survival, and increased resistance to chemo and target drugs. Inhibition of macropinocytosis substantially reduced eATP uptake by cancer cells and slowed down tumor growth in vivo. More recently, we have found the eATP also plays a very important role in inducing epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and that macropinocytosis is an essential facilitator in the induction. Thus, macropinocytosis and eATP, working in coordination, appear to play some previously unrecognized but very important roles in EMT and metastasis. As a result, they are likely to be interactive and communicative with each other, regulating each other's activity for various needs of host tumor cells. They are also likely to be an integral part of the future new anticancer therapeutic strategies. Moreover, it is undoubted that we have not identified all the important activities coordinated by ATP and macropinocytosis. This review describes our findings in how eATP and macropinocytosis work together to promote cancer cell growth, resistance, and EMT. We also list scientific challenges facing eATP research and propose to target macropinocytosis and eATP to reduce drug resistance and slow down metastasis.

    Abstract Numerical simulations are commonly used to understand the parameter dependence of given spatio-temporal phenomena. Sampling a multi-dimensional parameter space and running the respective simulations leads to an ensemble of a large number of spatio-temporal simulation runs. A main objective for analyzing the ensemble is to partition (or segment) the multi-dimensional parameter space into connected regions of simulation runs with similar behavior. To facilitate such an analysis, we propose a novel visualization method for multi-dimensional parameter-space partitions. Our visualization is based on the concept of a hyper-slicer, which allows for undistorted views of the parameter-space segments' extent and transitions. For navigation within the parameter space, interactions with a 2D embedding of the parameter-space samples, including their segment memberships, are supported. Parameter-space partitions are generated in a semi-automatic fashion by analyzing the similarity space of the ensemble's simulation runs. Clusters of similar simulation runs induce the segments of the parameter-space partition. We link the parameter-space partitioning visualizations to similarity-space visualizations of the ensemble's simulation runs and embed them into an interactive visual analysis tool that supports the analysis of all facets of the spatio-temporal simulation ensemble targeted at the overarching goal of analyzing the parameter-space partitioning. The partitioning can then be visually analyzed and interactively refined. We evaluated our approach with experts within case studies from three different domains.

    Abstract Oberservation of particle movement during wet granulation is crucial for identifying granulation mechanisms, process optimizations and troubleshooting. An example of such a process is spheronization, which is commonly used as a wet granulation technique to produce spherical, pharmaceutical pellets. Due to the dense particle bed, measurements of poloidal pellet velocities remain a challenge and have not been yet been reported in literature. In this work, a modelling approach was used in combination with particle image velocimetry (PIV) and mixing progress as a surrogate parameter to obtain information about the movement inside the pellet bed, including those parts not visible from outside the pellet bed. A good agreement between the experiment and the simulation was found. Regions of low poloidal velocities were found in both experiments and simulations. The initial pellet shape was not identified as a significant influence on the mixing progress.

    Abstract Inappropriate and excessive antibiotic use fuels the development of antibiotic resistance. Determinants of antibiotic use, including knowledge and attitudes, are manifold and vary on different spatial scales. The objective of this study was to examine the associations between socio-spatially diverse urban areas and knowledge, attitudes, practices and antibiotic use within a metropolitan city. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in the general population in socio-spatially different areas in Dortmund, Germany, in February and March 2020. Three urban areas were chosen to represent diverse socio-spatial contexts (socio-spatially disadvantaged: A, intermediate: B, socio-spatially disadvantaged: C). Participants were selected via simple random sampling. The questionnaire comprised knowledge and attitude statements and questions around antibiotic use and handling practices. Differences between the areas were examined by estimating odds ratios (OR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals by multiple logistic regression. Overall, 158 participants were included. Participants of Area C showed the lowest proportions of correct knowledge statements, indicated more often attitudes contrary to common recommendations, lower risk awareness and reported more often antibiotic use (C: 40.8%; A: 32.7%; B: 26.5%) and potential mishandling practices (C: 30.4%; A: 9.6%; B: 17.3%). The multiple logistic regression confirmed these differences. Around 42.3% (C), 33.3% (A) and 20.0% (B) of the diseases mentioned for which an antibiotic was used are mainly caused by viral pathogens. A common misconception across all areas was the perception of antibiotic resistance as an individual rather than a universal issue. This study reveals distinct differences between socio-spatially diverse urban areas within a metropolitan city, regarding knowledge, attitudes and practices around antibiotics and ABR. Our findings confirm that enhanced efforts are required to better inform the population about the adequate use and handling of antibiotics. This study emphasizes the need for future interventions to be tailored to the specific local socio-economic context.

    Abstract Accelerated environmental and societal change and its dynamic present a challenge for water management, making it increasingly relevant to integrate uncertainties into the decision-making process. The challenge to science informing practice is how to provide scientific uncertainty information in a way that this information becomes usable for practitioners. We know that practitioners have developed routines in order to cope with uncertainties, but in order to facilitate the transfer of uncertainty information, this study analyses by whom, when and where in the decision-making process uncertainty routines are used. This research contributes to the plurality of practitioners' perspectives on decision-making under uncertainty in water management. Based on expert elicitation we show that, depending on the business unit and on the time horizon of the management object, practitioners are using different uncertainty routines and hence are in need of more tailor-made uncertainty information to inform their decision-making. Our qualitative systems modeling approach highlighting a reservoir management example serves as a boundary object visualizing the intersection of uncertainty routines and fostering cross-communication and acknowledgement of different perspectives among practitioners. It thus provides a platform for learning. Moreover, it provides a clear understanding of the uncertainty information needs which scientists may cover and increases the usability of their research findings, closing the science-practice gap in adaptive management and transformation processes.
