Sources of value gains in minority equity investments by private equity funds : evidence from block share acquisitions by Chen, Guojun, Kang, Jun-Koo, Kim, Jin-Mo, Na, Hyun Seung

“…Using block share acquisitions made by private equity (PE) funds, we examine the sources of value gains in PE minority equity investments. We find that compared with non-PE acquirers, PE acquirers are more likely to place representatives with finance experience or those with experience in the target's industry on the target's board when the need for target oversight and/or advice is higher. …”

The role of growth factor receptor bound protein 2 (GRB2) in gain of function of mutant p53. by Lau, Sok Ting.

“…Studies have attributed the ability of mutant p53 to acquire oncogenic properties such as cell proliferation, metastasis as a “gain-of-function”. In this study, GRB2, a binding partner of mutant p53 was explored to uncover its role in mutant p53 “gain-of-function”. …”

Fine-scale genetic structure and natural selection signatures of southwestern Hans inferred from patterns of genome-wide allele, haplotype, and haplogroup lineages by Wang, Mengge, Yuan, Didi, Zou, Xing, Wang, Zheng, Yeh, Hui-Yuan, Liu, Jing, Wei, Lan-Hai, Wang, Chuan-Chao, Zhu, Bofeng, Liu, Chao, He, Guanglin

“…The evolutionary and admixture history of Han Chinese have been widely discussed via traditional autosomal and uniparental genetic markers [e.g., short tandem repeats, low-density single nucleotide polymorphisms). However, their fine-scale genetic landscapes (admixture scenarios and natural selection signatures) based on the high-density allele/haplotype sharing patterns have not been deeply characterized. …”
