SYK models and SYK-like tensor models with global symmetry

Vector models and generalized SYK models

We consider the relation between SYK-like models and vector models by studying a toy model where a tensor field is coupled with a vector field. By integrating out the tensor field, the toy model reduces to the Gross-Neveu model in 1 dimension. On the other hand, a certain perturbation can be turned on and the toy model flows to an SYK-like model at low energy. A chaotic-nonchaotic phase transit...

Get Syk and get cycling

Overenthusiastic repair of damaged blood vessels could cause a fatal blockage. Sedding et al. (page 2801) report that the normal repair-restricting function of factor VII activating protease (FSAP) is disrupted by a common mutation. People carrying the mutation might thus be more at risk of vessel narrowing. Approximately 5% of the population carries an FSAP polymorphism linked to cardiovascula...

Syk and Yea Shall Find

The article by Ghosh and Ghealen in the current issue of Syk in AD are poorly understood. In addition, little is known about EBioMedicine provides new insights into the pathophysiology of the inflammatory system in Alzheimer's disease (AD). The story describing the accumulation of aggregated proteins in the AD brain, including β-amyloid and tau protein, has been developing since Alois Alzheimer...

SYK Allelic Loss and the Role of Syk-Regulated Genes in Breast Cancer Survival

Heterozygotic loss of SYK, a non-receptor tyrosine kinase, gives rise to mouse mammary tumor formation where Syk protein levels are reduced by about half; loss of SYK mRNA is correlated with invasive cell behavior in in vitro models; and SYK loss has been correlated with distant metastases in patients. Here, allelic loss of the SYK gene was explored in breast ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) usi...
