c‐MYB‐ and PGC1a‐dependent metabolic switch induced by MYBBP1A loss in renal cancer
Under harsh environmental conditions, genetic alterations conferring selective advantages may initiate the growth of tumor subclones. In this work, we performed a genetic loss‐of‐function screen in the absence of glucose. We found that downregulation of MYBBP1A in c‐MYB+ and pVHL− renal carcinoma cell lines switches glycolytic metabolism to oxidative ...

Ewald's Conjecture and integer points in algebraic and symplectic toric geometry
Abstract We solve several open problems concerning integer points of reflexive smooth polytopes, also known as monotone polytopes. While the paper belongs to the realm of discrete geometry, the connection with symplectic and algebraic geometry appears naturally since these polytopes have an important role in both areas.
