Overexpression of 4EBP1, p70S6K, Akt1 or Akt2 differentially promotes Coxsackievirus B3-induced apoptosis in HeLa cells by Xing, X., Huang, L., Li, X., Li, Z., Zhou, W., Tian, L., Chen, J., Chen, C., Ma, Xing, Yang, Z.

“…Our previous studies have shown that the inhibition of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) or mTOR complex 1 can obviously promote the Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3)-induced apoptosis of HeLa cells by regulating the expression of proapoptotic factors. To further illustrate it, Homo sapiens eIF4E-binding protein 1 (4EBP1), p70S6 kinase (p70S6K), Akt1 and Akt2 were transfected to HeLa cells, respectively. …”

Using machine learning to discover candidate localised transcripts from microscopy and genome-wide bioinformatics data by Kiourlappou, M

“…<p>Messenger RNA (mRNA) localisation is an important layer of post-transcriptional regulation. In polarised cells such as glia, mRNA localisation is especially significant as glial cells are long with protrusions that can be far away from the cell body, where mRNA is produced. …”

Phase-Field Computational Framework for Addressing Challenges in Solid-State Batteries by Schwietert, Tammo K, Ombrini, Pierfrancesco, Ootes, Laura S, Oostrum, Leon, Azizi, Victor, Cogswell, Daniel, Zhu, Juner, Bazant, Martin Z, Wagemaker, Marnix, Vasileiadis, Alexandros

“…The model is based on multiphase porous electrode theory, where Li-ion diffusion in solid electrolytes and electrode materials is integrated through a regular solution free energy functional. Modules for contact loss and diffusive interlayers, able to capture solid-solid and solid-liquid interfaces such as solid-electrolyte interphase formation and coatings, are also implemented, providing numerous modeling options for a comprehensive understanding of electrochemical systems. …”
