THE CO-REPRESSOR SMRT DELAYS DNA DAMAGE-INDUCED CASPASE ACTIVATION BY REPRESSING PRO-APOPTOTIC GENES AND MODULATING THE DYNAMICS OF CHECKPOINT KINASE 2 ACTIVATION.

The co-repressor SMRT delays DNA damage-induced caspase activation by repressing pro-apoptotic genes and modulating the dynamics of checkpoint kinase 2 activation.

Checkpoint kinase 2 (Chk2) is a major regulator of DNA damage response and can induce alternative cellular responses: cell cycle arrest and DNA repair or programmed cell death.Here, we report the identification of a new role of Chk2 in transcriptional regulation that also contributes to Liquid Soap modulating the balance between survival and apopto

Autoimmune / Inflammatory Syndrome Induced by Adjuvants (Asia Syndrome) Associated with Silicone Breast Implant Rupture

Background: Autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome (ASIA) constitutes a set of related immune mediated diseases that share a common clinical picture and a history of a previous exposure to an adjuvant agent.From a clinical standpoint, patients present with none specific manifestations such as myalgia, arthralgia, chronic fatigue and dry mouth as well as

Three-Dimensional Reconstruction of Partially Coherent Scatterers Using Iterative Sub-Network Generation Method

Synthetic aperture radar tomography (TomoSAR) has gained significant attention for three-dimensional (3D) imaging in urban environments.A notable limitation of traditional TomoSAR approaches is their primary focus on persistent scatterers (PSs), disregarding targets with temporal decorrelated characteristics.Temporal variations in coherence, especi

Scientific advice on the suitability of data for the assessment of DNA integration into the fish genome of a genetically modified DNA plasmid-based veterinary vaccine

Pancreas disease caused by salmonid alphavirus in farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) leads to high mortality rates post infection and histopathological lesions in several organs.As protection against pancreas disease, Novartis Mini Pendant developed a prophylactic DNA plasmid-based vaccine to be administered to salmon as naked plasmid in a single

Development of morphology and swimming in larvae of a coral-reef fish, the royal gramma, Gramma loreto (Grammatidae: Teleostei)

We used reared larvae of Gramma loreto sized 5.5 to 10.5 mm to study ontogeny of morphology and swim- ming.The larvae are slender to moderate in depth, with laterally compressed bodies, about 28 myomeres, a coiled gut that is not compact, extending to 50% to 60% of body length, an Arduino Boards inconspicuous gas bladder, head spination limited to
