Entropy Harvesting [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2013
The paper introduces the notion of “entropy harvesting” in physical and biological systems. Various physical and natural systems demonstrate the ability to decrease entropy under external stimuli. These systems, including stretched synthetic polymers, muscles, osmotic membranes and suspensions containing small hydrophobic particles, are called ...

Finding novel vulnerabilities of hypomorphic BRCA1 alleles

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Synthetic lethality screens performed to identify novel vulnerabilities often model complete gene loss, thereby overlooking patient‐derived hypomorphic mutations. In this study, we have performed genome‐wide CRISPR screens on BRCA1 hypomorphic mutations, showing BRCA1I26A behaves like wild‐type, while BRCA1R1699Q mimics deficiency. Furthermore, we have

MITF maintains genome stability in nonmelanocyte lineages

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
MITF is essential for melanocyte survival and acts as an oncogene in 10%–20% of melanomas. We show that MITF depletion causes genome instability in nonmelanocytic cells, leading to LATS2‐mediated P53 activation, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis. This study highlights the role of MITF as a genome maintenance factor beyond the melanocyte lineage. Created

Preparation and characterization of ball milled chicken eggshell derived activated carbon (ACESP) / halloysite nanotubes (HNT) / fluorescein (FL) nanocomposite [BACHFL] as novel fluorescent probe for heavy metal ion detection

open access: yesNext Materials
Mercury is considered as the most hazardous pollutant due to its adverse effects to mankind. Hence the present work aims at the preparation and characterization of ball milled chicken eggshell derived activated carbon (ACESP) / halloysite nanotubes (HNT)

Oncogenic DMTF1β promotes cancer cell motility by regulating autophagy through ULK1 stabilization

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
In the current study, we demonstrate that the oncogene DMTF1β regulates ULK1 stability by reducing its proteasomal degradation in cancer cells. This stabilization enables ULK1 to induce autophagy, which in turn facilitates cancer cell migration. Consequently, reduced DMTF1β levels lead to decreased autophagy and impaired cancer cell migration.

Plant diversity and precipitation gradients drive litter return and SOC in alpine vegetation

open access: yesCarbon Balance and Management
Climate and plant diversity are the major drivers of litter return and soil organic carbon (SOC) content. However, in cold and arid regions, how plant diversity and climate are affected by other factors and their contribution rates to the regulation of ...

Valorization of Invasive Tree Species (Black Locust, Tree-of-Heaven) Bark in Commercial Lime Mortars: Effects on Composites’ Physical, Hygroscopic and Mechanical Performance

open access: yesApplied Sciences
Fast-growing invasive tree species management produces a significant amount of low-density and low-value biomass, which offers a chance for waste valorization in the environmentally friendly construction sector.

Loss of proton‐sensing TDAG8 increases tumor progression in mouse models of colon cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Loss of the pH‐sensing receptor TDAG8 accelerates colorectal cancer progression in mice. Animals lacking TDAG8 expression had increased tumor growth, DNA damage, and recruitment of tumor‐associated immune cells, including macrophages, neutrophils, and monocytes.
