Peroxidasin enables melanoma immune escape by inhibiting natural killer cell cytotoxicity

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Peroxidasin (PXDN) is secreted by melanoma cells and binds the NK cell receptor NKG2D, thereby suppressing NK cell activation and cytotoxicity. PXDN depletion restores NKG2D signaling and enables effective NK cell–mediated melanoma killing. These findings identify PXDN as a previously unrecognized immune evasion factor and a potential target to improve

Genus-one string amplitudes from conformal field theory

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019
We explore and exploit the relation between non-planar correlators in N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 super-Yang-Mills, and higher-genus closed string amplitudes in type IIB string theory.

Exon 7 splicing of ERα predicts poor prognosis and increases phenotypic heterogeneity in luminal a subtype breast cancer

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
ERα splice variant ERα∆7 lacks the C‐terminus, and its expression may change phenotypes of breast cancers. Our results showed that ERα∆7 is found in the luminal A subtype, and elevated ERα∆7 levels are linked to improved cell survival with lower proliferation and migration.

Freudenthal duality in conformal field theory

Journal of High Energy Physics
Rotational Freudenthal duality (RFD) relates two extremal Kerr-Newman (KN) black holes (BHs) with different angular momenta and electric-magnetic charges, but with the same Bekenstein-Hawking entropy.

Localized quench in 1+1 conformal field theory

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2016
We study the boundary dual of AdS3 spacetime with a point particle. Particles in AdS3 generate topological defects, which allows to formulate the geodesic image method for boundary correlators.

Minimal lectures on two-dimensional conformal field theory

SciPost Physics Lecture Notes, 2018
We provide a brief but self-contained review of conformal field theory on the Riemann sphere. We first introduce general axioms such as local conformal invariance, and derive Ward identities and BPZ equations.

Universal spinning Casimir equations and their solutions

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023
Conformal blocks are a central analytic tool for higher dimensional conformal field theory. We employ Harish-Chandra’s radial component map to construct universal Casimir differential equations for spinning conformal blocks in any dimension d of ...

Functional Connectivity Linked to Cognitive Recovery After Minor Stroke

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Patients with minor stroke exhibit slowed processing speed and generalized alterations in functional connectivity involving frontoparietal cortex (FPC). The pattern of connectivity evolves over time. In this study, we examine the relationship of functional connectivity patterns to cognitive performance, to determine ...

Loops in AdS from conformal field theory

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017
We propose and demonstrate a new use for conformal field theory (CFT) crossing equations in the context of AdS/CFT: the computation of loop amplitudes in AdS, dual to non-planar correlators in holographic CFTs. Loops in AdS are largely unexplored, mostly

Algebraic orbifold conformal field theories [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2000
The unitary rational orbifold conformal field theories in the algebraic quantum field theory and subfactor theory framework are formulated. Under general conditions, it is shown that the orbifold of a given unitary rational conformal field theory generates a unitary modular category. Many new unitary modular categories are obtained.
