Identification of novel small molecule inhibitors of ETS transcription factors

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
ETS transcription factors play an essential role in tumourigenesis and are indispensable for sprouting angiogenesis, a hallmark of cancer, which fuels tumour expansion and dissemination. Thus, targeting ETS transcription factor function could represent an effective, multifaceted strategy to block tumour growth. The evolutionarily conserved E‐Twenty‐Six

Expressional and functional involvement of gap junctions in aqueous humor outflow into the ocular trabecular meshwork of the anterior chamber

open access: yesMolecular Vision, 2019
Purpose: The ocular trabecular meshwork (TM) responsible for aqueous humor (AH) drainage is crucial for regulating intraocular pressure (IOP) of the eye.

Analysis of the dominant mutation N188T of human connexin46 (hCx46) using concatenation and molecular dynamics simulation

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, 2019
Connexins (Cx) are proteins that form cell‐to‐cell gap junction channels. A mutation at position 188 in the second extracellular loop (E2) domain of hCx46 has been linked to an autosomal dominant zonular pulverulent cataract.

An atrial-fibrillation-linked connexin40 mutant is retained in the endoplasmic reticulum and impairs the function of atrial gap-junction channels

open access: yesDisease Models & Mechanisms, 2014
Connexin40 (Cx40)-containing gap-junction channels are expressed in the atrial myocardium and provide a low-resistance passage for rapid impulse propagation.

Connexins evolved after early chordates lost innexin diversity

open access: yeseLife, 2022
Gap junction channels are formed by two unrelated protein families. Non-chordates use the primordial innexins, while chordates use connexins that superseded the gap junction function of innexins.

Effect of inorganic cation mixing on hybrid halide perovskites using density functional theory for application in single and multi junction photovoltaics [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
This work is aimed to study mixed-cation (hybrid methyl ammonium plus inorganic cations) halide perovskites using first principles Density Functional Theory (DFT) formalism in order to find their potential applications in perovskite based photovoltaics. This is an addition to the two previous studies performed by the author on high-throughput screening

Subharmonic gap structure in short ballistic graphene junctions [PDF]

open access: yesPhys. Rev. B 74, 180501 (2006)., 2006
We present a theoretical analysis of the current-voltage characteristics of a ballistic superconductor-normal-superconductor (SNS) junction, in which a strip of graphene is coupled to two superconducting electrodes. We focus in the short-junction regime, where the length of the strip is much smaller than superconducting coherence length.

Minding the Gaps—and the Junctions, Too [PDF]

open access: yesCirculation, 2012
Platelets may be small, but their behavior in vivo is governed by molecular mechanisms every bit as complex as those in larger cells. New molecules that provide unexpected insights turn up with surprising regularity. One recent example is the connexin family member Cx37 or GJA4.

The cytoskeletal control of B cell receptor and integrin signaling in normal B cells and chronic lymphocytic leukemia

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In lymphoid organs, antigen recognition and B cell receptor signaling rely on integrins and the cytoskeleton. Integrins act as mechanoreceptors, couple B cell receptor activation to cytoskeletal remodeling, and support immune synapse formation as well as antigen extraction.

Thermal signature of Majorana fermions in Josephson junction [PDF]

open access: yesPhys. Rev. B 103, 144502 (2021), 2019
Existence of distinctive correlation between the thermal conductance and the Josephson current across a 1-D topological Josephson junction (T-JJ) is established and an expression connecting the two is derived in the short junction limit. It is shown that the three terminal T-JJ provides us with an ideal set-up for exploiting the distinctive ...
