A study suggests, "path dependencies, increasing returns to scale and learning-by-doing cost reductions can produce sudden, tipping-point-like transitions that cannot be extrapolated from past system behaviour", and that "historically, technological innovation and government policies often motivated by energy security concerns have also, in ...
Group 2 - non-communicable diseases: These causes of death are a major challenge for countries that have completed or nearly completed the epidemiological transition.

[12] [13] Since EMT in cancer progression recaptures EMT in developmental programs, many of the EMT-TFs are involved in promoting metastatic events. [14] [15] Several signaling pathways (TGF-β, FGF, EGF, HGF, Wnt/beta-catenin and Notch) and hypoxia may induce EMT. [7] [16] [17] In particular, Ras-MAPK has been shown to activate Snail and Slug.
Federal stats presented at a June forum showed that out of 625,000 eligible physicians nationwide, only 25,000 are certified to prescribe buprenorphine. A mere 2.5 percent of all primary care doctors have gone through the certification process. “I cannot say it enough,” said then-Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) at the meeting.
