Signalling inhibition by ponatinib disrupts productive alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) by Kusuma, Frances Karla, Prabhu, Aishvaryaa, Tieo, Galen, Syed Moiz Ahmed, Dakle, Pushkar, Yong, Wai Khang, Pathak, Elina, Madan, Vikas, Jiang, Yan Yi, Tam, Wai Leong, Kappei, Dennis, Dröge, Peter, Koeffler, H. Phillip, Jeitany, Maya

“…By performing anti-cancer compound library screen on isogenic cell lines and using extrachromosomal telomeric C-circles, as a bona fide marker of ALT activity, we identify a receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor ponatinib that deregulates ALT mechanisms, induces telomeric dysfunction, reduced ALT-associated telomere synthesis, and targets, in vivo, ALT-positive cells. …”

The Battle for ‘Trayvon Martin’: Mapping a Media Controversy Online and Offline by Graeff, Erhardt

“…But the story gained attention and controversy over Martin’s death dominated headlines, airwaves, and Twitter for months, thanks to a savvy publicist working on behalf of the victim’s parents and a series of campaigns off–line and online. Using the theories of networked gatekeeping and networked framing, we map out the vast media ecosystem using quantitative data about the content generated around the Trayvon Martin story in both off–line and online media, as well as measures of engagement with the story, to trace the interrelations among mainstream media, nonprofessional and social media, and their audiences. …”
