The FGFR inhibitor PD173074 binds to the C-terminus of oncofetal HMGA2 and modulates its DNA-binding and transcriptional activation functions by Ahmed, Syed Moiz, Ragunathan, Priya, Shin, Joon, Peter, Sabrina, Kleissle, Sabrina, Neuenschwander, Martin, Schäfer, Reinhold, Kries, Jens Peter V., Grüber, Gerhard, Dröge, Peter

“…HMGA2 is not expressed in most normal adult somatic cells, which renders the protein an attractive drug target. An established cell-based compound library screen identified the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) inhibitor PD173074 as an antagonist of HMGA2-mediated transcriptional reporter gene activation. …”

Desire and disinterest in Dusklands by Hayes, P

“…Yet the need to which it points persists, as is evident from Coetzee’s discussion of ‘free play’ in his essay ‘Erasmus: Madness and Rivalry’ (1992), where a certain conception of aesthetic disinterest (a sought-for ‘evasive (non)position inside/outside the play’) is seen as being related to, rather than disavowing, the desire of writer and readers alike. This paper traces the prehistory of these important remarks back to the period of <i>Dusklands</i>, and to Herbert Marcuse’s attempt to conjoin Freudian psychoanalysis with post-Kantian aesthetic theory. …”
