STK11
STK11 (LKB1, liver kinase B1) is a tumor suppressor serine/threonine kinase gene on 19p13.3; germline mutations cause Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, and somatic loss is common in lung cancer.
STK38
STK38 (NDR1), human serine/threonine kinase of the AGC NDR/LATS family on chromosome 6p21.31; Hippo pathway YAP kinase and LATS inhibitor, autophagy regulator, XPO1 activator, cancer-relevant.
STK39
STK39 (SPAK) is a human serine/threonine kinase gene at 2q24.3 linking WNK kinases to NCC/NKCC cotransporters, renal salt handling, and blood pressure; also implicated in HCC inflammation, DNA repair, and PARP inhibitor resistance.
STK4
STK4 (MST1, KRS2, YSK3) is a human chromosome 20 gene encoding a 487-aa serine/threonine kinase of the Hippo pathway; biallelic loss causes autosomal recessive combined immunodeficiency with lymphopenia and EBV-driven lymphoproliferation.
STL (file format)
STL, short for STereoLithography, is a file format describing a 3D object's surface as a triangular mesh, and the de facto standard for 3D printing.

STMicroelectronics, called SGS-Thomson Microelectronics until May 1998, is a Dutch-incorporated Franco-Italian semiconductor maker founded in 1987, headquartered in Geneva, with 14 manufacturing sites in Europe and Asia.
STMN1
STMN1 (stathmin 1, oncoprotein 18) is a human cytosolic phosphoprotein gene that destabilizes microtubules by sequestering tubulin dimers; overexpression marks poor prognosis in most solid tumors and modulates paclitaxel and vincristine sensitivity. Distinct from SMN1 and STNM01.

Sto stone
Sto stone (ストストーン, Sto-Stone, Stostone) is a Nikoli logic puzzle from Puzzle Communication Nikoli Vol. 156: shade one connected stone per room so dropped stones fill the grid's bottom half; its solvability decision problem is NP-complete.
Stoa Poikile
The Stoa Poikile, or Painted Porch, was a fifth-century BC painted colonnade on the northwest side of the Athenian Agora that gave the philosophy of Stoicism its name.
Stoat
Stoat (Mustela erminea), also called ermine or short-tailed weasel: a circumpolar mustelid with a black-tipped tail and white winter coat. Least Concern globally, but a devastating invasive predator of native birds in New Zealand.

Stochastic
Stochastic, or stochasticity, describes systems and models that involve randomness, so the same starting conditions can produce different results; the central object is the stochastic process.
Stochastic acceleration (second-order Fermi)
Stochastic acceleration, also called second-order Fermi or Fermi-II acceleration, energizes charged particles by repeated scattering off moving magnetized turbulence; Enrico Fermi proposed it in 1949 to explain cosmic rays.
Stochastic actor-oriented model
The stochastic actor-oriented model (SAOM) is a statistical model for longitudinal social network data, treating network change as the accumulated choices of individual actors; it is fitted with the R package RSiena.
Stochastic approximation
Stochastic approximation is a family of iterative algorithms that find the root of an unknown function from noisy observations, introduced by Robbins and Monro in 1951.
Stochastic barrier functions
Stochastic barrier functions are scalar functions of a system's state that yield computable lower bounds on the probability that a noisy dynamical system stays inside a safe set.
Stochastic block model
The stochastic block model, introduced by Holland, Laskey, and Leinhardt in 1983, is a statistical model for networks in which edge probabilities depend only on nodes' blocks.
Stochastic calculus
Stochastic calculus, also known as stochastic analysis or stochastic integration, extends calculus to random processes like Brownian motion, using the Itô integral and Itô's formula.
