How to classify strictly upper triangular matrices by similarity?

Let F be a field. Consider U, the set of n times n strictly upper triangular matrices in F. For X, Y in U, we call them similar if there exists some S, which is non-degenerate and upper...

Is CD44 degraded in lysosome together with hyaluronan after CD44 mediated endocytosis of hyaluronic acid?

Also when RHAMM binds hyaluronic acid, they get internalized, will RHAMM also be degraded? Or both CD44 and RHAMM will be transferred back to the cell membrane? Asking for breast cancer cell line...

Mediation path analysis - Can I run two seperate models?

I am wanting to run a serial mediation model with 2 x IVs, 2 x MVs, and 3 DPs (all continuous). Is it problematic to run 2 different models for each IV, keeping the MVs and DPs the same in each...

I used DMEM/F12 supplemented with B27 (without VitaminA), 20ng/ml EGF and 20 ng/ml bFGF to culture Mammospheres from patient derived tumor samples or cell lines such as MDA-MB-231 on suspension culture dishes. In addition, several companies offer diffrenet kinds of medium for growing Mammospheres, which i personally never tried, but you might have a look here for example : https://www.promocell.com/app/uploads/2017/11/Mammosphere_Culture_AppNote_web-1.pdf

I cultured microspheres from the MDA-MB-231 cell line using DMEM/F12 supplemented with low concentrations of serum. The serum concentration is about 5%. This needs to be optimized according to the actual situation. You can try to gradually reduce the serum concentration.
