Oncogene-Induced Senescence Relayed by an Interleukin-Dependent Inflammatory Network

Oncogene-induced cellular senescence (OIS) is emerging as a potent cancer-protective response to oncogenic events, serving to eliminate early neoplastic cells from the proliferative pool. Using combined genetic and bioinformatic analysis, we find that OIS is linked specifically to the activation of an inflammatory transcriptome. Induced genes included the pleiotropic cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-...

Network Architectures for Space-Optical Quantum Cryptography Services Introduction of Quantum Communications in Satellite Communication Networks

Quantum cryptography enables the distribution of ‘information-theoretically’ secure (ITS) keys, whose secrecy is guaranteed by the laws of quantum physics. Such a level of security is superior to conventional ‘classical’ cryptography whose security is at most ‘computational’, and even this lower security level is unverified in many cases. Fiber-based quantum key distribution (QKD) systems for l...

Experiences with MPTCP in an intercontinental OpenFlow network

The size and amount of e-science data sets is growing rapidly. Keeping up with the network demand in order to transfer these data sets over the Internet is a challenge. Single links do not have enough capacity anymore. Therefore we need to install more interfaces in the servers and use all available paths in the network. In this paper we describe two new technologies that help to optimally use ...

Experimental Satellite Quantum Communications.

Quantum communication (QC), namely, the faithful transmission of generic quantum states, is a key ingredient of quantum information science. Here we demonstrate QC with polarization encoding from space to ground by exploiting satellite corner cube retroreflectors as quantum transmitters in orbit and the Matera Laser Ranging Observatory of the Italian Space Agency in Matera, Italy, as a quantum ...
