Identification of novel small molecule inhibitors of ETS transcription factors
FEBS 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

Risk Mathematics and Quantum Games on Quantum Risk Structures - A Nuclear War Scenario Game [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 Quantum game theory is combined with risk mathematics' formalism to provide an approach to evolutionary scenario analysis. The formalism is addressed in its general form and is then applied to an extreme risks modelling case, to model a coevolving dynamical web of systemic situations representing the evolution of the regional tensions between two ...

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae amino acid transporter Lyp1 has a broad substrate spectrum
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Yeast Amino acid Transporter family members mediate the import of amino acids, ranging from substrate specialists to generalists. Here, we show that the specialist transporter, Lyp1, has a broader substrate spectrum than previously described, with affinity constants spanning from micromolar to millimolar.
