Wood, Weston G. W. | Consciousness is a Conversation Towards an Eco-Dialogical Theory of Communication | Within the expanding field of environmental communication we make what we assume are well-justified assumptions about communication, and then rely on those assumptions about communication to make sense of "the environment." In other words, environmental communication is often the study of how we tal... | Ecology; Dialogue; Voice; Bateson; Dolar; Abram; Systems; Deep Ecology; Psychoanalysis; Metalogue; Addiction; Patriarchy; Capitalism; Individualism | 2017 |

Neville, Roselyn | Constitutively activated AKT is not sufficient to keep cells alive following epithelial cell extrusion | The PI3 kinase (PI3K)/AKT signaling pathway regulates many fundamental behaviors of the cell. If any of the key members of this pathway are deregulated, it can lead to malignant changes in the cell. AKT enhances the survival of cells by inhibiting pro-apoptotic processes, and promoting pathways for ... | PI3K/AKT - Chemistry; Cancer metastasis | 2014-05 |
