INSIGHTS INTO TARGETING LKB1 IN TUMORIGENESIS

Insights into targeting LKB1 in tumorigenesis

Genetic alterations to serine-threonine kinase 11 (STK11) have been implicated in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome and tumorigenesis.Further exploration of the context-specific roles of liver kinase B1 (LKB1; encoded by STK11) observed that it regulates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and AMPK-related kinases.Given that both migration and proliferation a

Flammability analysis of military fabrics

There are many types of fabric materials used in military applications.From clothing to protective equipment, fabric analysis mostly focused on its physical properties.Still, its flammability has not been well studied, such as ease of ignition, heat release, and toxicity.This paper reports the flammability properties of fabric in military applicati
