Rhus coriaria induces senescence and autophagic cell death in breast cancer cells through a mechanism involving p38 and ERK1/2 activation by El Hasasna, Hussain

“…Furthermore, we found that while both autophagy inhibitors abolished p38 phosphorylation, only CQ led to significant decrease in pERK1/2. Finally, RCE induced DNA damage and reduced mutant p53, two events that preceded autophagy. …”

A computational approach for investigating the mutational landscape of RAC-alpha serine/threonine-protein kinase (AKT1) and screening inhibitors against the oncogenic E17K mutation... by Thirumal Kumar, D

“…The molecular interaction study also revealed that the co-crystallized AKT1 inhibitor N-(4-(5-(3-acetamidophenyl)-2-(2-aminopyridin-3-yl)-3H-imidazo [4,5-b]pyridin-3-yl)benzyl)-3-fluorobenzamide (12j) exhibited a better interaction with native AKT1 compared with the E17K mutant AKT1 protein, whereas, Akti-1/2 exhibited the opposite effects, i.e., a better interaction with the E17K mutant AKT1 than the native AKT1. …”

The role of type II FB (I):Tl+ defect in laser light generation and color image formation at the low coordination surface sites of AgBr: Ab initio calculations by Shalabi, A.S.

“…All relaxed excited states of the defect containing surfaces were deep below the lower edges of the conduction bands of the ground-state defect-free surfaces indicating that type II FB(I):Tl+ is suitable laser defect. The probability of orientational destruction of the two centers, attributed to the assumed saddle point ion configurations along the 〈1 1 0〉 axis, was found to decrease as the coordination number of the surface ions decreases. …”
