BETA-BLOCKERS AND CANCER: WHERE ARE WE?

Beta-Blockers and Cancer: Where Are We?

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide.After diagnosis, cancer treatment may involve radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and surgery.Several of the approaches used to treat cancer also attack normal cells and, thus, there is the need for more effective treatments that decrease the toxicity to normal cells and increase the success rates of t

Variable Tandem Glycine-Rich Repeats Contribute to Cell Death-Inducing Activity of a Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-Anchored Cell Wall Protein That Is Associated with the Pathogenicity of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum

ABSTRACT Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchoring of proteins is a conserved posttranslational modification in eukaryotes.GPI-anchored proteins are widely distributed in fungal plant pathogens, but the specific roles of the GPI-anchored proteins in the pathogenicity of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, a devastating necrotrophic plant pathogen with a w

Looseness Identification of Track Fasteners Based on Ultra-Weak FBG Sensing Technology and Convolutional Autoencoder Network

Changes in the geological environment and track wear, and deterioration of train bogies may lead to the looseness of subway fasteners.Identifying loose 1073spx fasteners randomly distributed along the subway line is of great significance to avoid train derailment.This paper presents a convolutional autoencoder (CAE) network-based method for identif
