Verification of smart contracts: A survey
Pervasive and Mobile Computing, 2020 Abstract To achieve trust and continuity in the smart contracts-based business process execution, the verification of such smart contracts is mandatory. A blockchain-based smart contract should work as intended before using it. Due to the immutable nature of blockchain, any bugs or errors will become permanent once published and could lead to huge ...

β‐TrCP overexpression enhances cisplatin sensitivity by depleting BRCA1
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Low levels of β‐TrCP (Panel A) allow the accumulation of BRCA1 and CtIP, which facilitate the repair of cisplatin‐induced DNA damage via homologous recombination (HR) and promote tumor cell survival. In contrast, high β‐TrCP expression (Panel B) leads to BRCA1 and CtIP degradation, impairing HR repair, resulting in persistent DNA damage and apoptosis ...
