Altered modulation of lamin A/C-HDAC2 interaction and p21 expression during oxidative stress response in HGPS [PDF]
Defects in stress response are main determinants of cellular senescence and organism aging. In fibroblasts from patients affected by Hutchinson-Gilford progeria, a severe LMNA-linked syndrome associated with bone resorption, cardiovascular disorders, and

ROCK2/rasHa cooperation induce malignant conversion via p53 loss, elevated NF-κβ and tenascin C-associated rigidity but p21 inhibits ROCK2/NF-κβ-mediated progression [PDF]
To study ROCK2 activation in carcinogenesis, mice expressing 4-hydroxytamoxifen (4HT)- activated ROCK2 [K14.ROCKer] were crossed to mice expressing epidermal activated ras Ha [HK1.ras1205].

Low-pressure phase diagram of crystalline benzene from quantum Monte Carlo [PDF]
We studied the low-pressure (0–10 GPa) phase diagram of crystalline benzene using quantum Monte Carlo and density functional theory (DFT) methods. We performed diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (DMC) calculations to obtain accurate static phase diagrams as ...

The retinoblastoma protein/p16INK4A pathway but not p53 is disrupted by human papillomavirus in penile squamous cell carcinoma [PDF]
Aims: The pathogenesis of penile squamous cell carcinoma (PSCC) is not well understood. Human papillomavirus (HPV) may be involved in carcinogenesis, but few studies have compared cell-cycle protein expression in HPV positive and negative cancers.
