Dumping STAT3 in the trash

Trash Compaction

Let P be a set of n objects on a square grid. A push is a transformation of P that involves sweeping a horizontal or vertical line by one unit, starting from the hull of P , displacing objects in the direction of the sweep. For example, when pushing to the right, all the leftmost objects are displaced one unit to the right. This in turn displaces other objects further right. Given P , we want t...

Putting Cyclin E in the trash

Putting Cyclin E in the trash L u and Pfeffer uncover a protein that helps remove Cyclin E after it has outlasted its usefulness. Cyclin E pushes cells from G1 into S phase. But if the protein lingers in cells, they can’t progress normally through the rest of the cell cycle. During S phase, the SCF pathway directs phosphorylated Cyclin E to the proteasome for destruction. A second, little-known...

Business representatives and union leaders in highly industrialised countries often accuse the governments of lessdeveloped countries of practising social dumping in the sense of deliberately neglecting work-place safety legislation, codetermination rights and other fringe benefits which define the quality of workplaces.

Contrary to the conventional wisdom, this paper finds that firms in markets with a large number of domestic competitors ar...
