p53 acts as a gatekeeper by preventing progression of oncogenically activated cells to full malignancy. by George Hinkal (371132)

Structural and functional analysis of cell-free produced PfAQP without a GFP fusion. by Annika Müller-Lucks (147176)

“…Changes in the light scattering intensity reflect liposome shrinkage due to water efflux (increase in light scattering) and liposome swelling due to glycerol plus secondary water influx (decrease in light scattering). Note the difference of the scale of the abscissae as a consequence of lower glycerol permeability by at least one order of magnitude. …”

Disease course of Chronic Relapsing Inflammatory Optic Neuropathy (CRION) in a single care center by Luis Enrique MOLINA-CARRIÓN (12687286)

Mouse Transplant Models for Evaluating the Oncogenic Risk of a Self-Inactivating XSCID Lentiviral Vector by Sheng Zhou (66217)

“…<div><p></p><p>Hematopoietic stem cell gene therapy requires the use of integrating retroviral vectors in order to stably transmit a therapeutic gene to mature blood cells. Human clinical trials have shown that some vector integration events lead to disrupted regulation of proto-oncogenes resulting in disordered hematopoiesis including T-cell leukemia. …”
