The AMPK Stress Response Pathway Mediates Anoikis Resistance Through Inhibition of mTOR and Suppression of Protein Synthesis
Here we show that, after detachment, mouse embryonic fibroblasts transformed by K-Ras or ETV6-NTRK3 activate a transcriptional response overrepresented by genes related to bioenergetic stress and the AMP-activated protein kinase…

Clinical Aspects of Chagas Disease and Implications for Novel Therapies
The interaction between the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi and the human host dates back 9,000 years, as demonstrated by molecular analysis of material obtained from Andean mummies indicating the presence of the…

Targeting Nicotinic Receptors for Parkinson’s Disease Therapy
Experimental work in parkinsonian animal models suggests that nicotine in tobacco may contribute to this protection. These combined findings suggest that nicotine and nAChR drugs offer the possibility of improved…

Skeleton Search: Category-Specific Object Recognition and Segmentation Using a Skeletal Shape Model
We describe a top-down object detection and segmentation approach that uses a skeleton-based shape model and that works directly on real images.

Localized state distribution and its effect on recombination in organic solar cells
Transient photocurrent (TPC) and photovoltage (TPV) measurements are reported in bulk heterojunction organic solar cells.
-
Charge transport and recombination in organic solar cells
Measurements of transient photoconductivity and the cell spectral response provide information about the carrier mobility, recombination mechanisms and the electronic structure in bulk heterojunction solar cells.
