A Gate Keeper for Axonal Transport
نویسندگان
چکیده
The axon and dendritic arbor of neurons require different sets of membrane proteins to carry out their functions. In this issue, Song et al. (2009) describe how a cytoplasmic diffusion barrier in the axon initial segment of rat hippocampal neurons ensures that only axonal (and not dendritic) membrane proteins enter the axon.

FinFET domino logic with independent gate keepers
Scaling of single-gate MOSFET faces great challenges in the nanometer regime due to the severe shortchannel effects that cause an exponential increase in the sub-threshold and gate-oxide leakage currents. Double-gate FinFET technology mitigates these limitations by the excellent control over a thin silicon body by two electrically coupled gates. In this paper a variable threshold voltage keeper...
متن کاملMembrane Proteins as Maxwell’s Demons and Their Significance for P Systems
The aim of these notes is to contribute to the dialog between P systems and Biological Sciences focussing on membrane proteins involved either in iron transport inside the bacterial cells or in elimination outside the bacterial cells of substances which are dangerous for the cell. The ability of these membrane proteins to behave as Maxwell’s demon, gate keeper, or as “a being who can see the in...
متن کاملRobustness aware high performance high fan - in domino OR logic design ∗
A novel technique using a keeper with a simultaneous low supply voltage and low body voltage is proposed to improve the overall performance of high fan-in OR gates without modifying the physical dimensions of the keeper. Simulation results of a 16-input domino OR gate using 45 nm CMOS technology show that the proposed technique could trade off between a high power/speed efficient operation and ...
متن کاملDFG-out Mode of Inhibition by an Irreversible Type-1 Inhibitor Capable of Overcoming Gate-Keeper Mutations in FGF Receptors
Drug-resistance acquisition through kinase gate-keeper mutations is a major hurdle in the clinic. Here, we determined the first crystal structures of the human FGFR4 kinase domain (FGFR4K) alone and complexed with ponatinib, a promiscuous type-2 (DFG-out) kinase inhibitor, and an oncogenic FGFR4K harboring the V550L gate-keeper mutation bound to FIIN-2, a new type-1 irreversible inhibitor. Rema...
متن کاملDetecting resistive shorts for CMOS domino circuits
We investigate defects in CMOS domino gates and derive the test conditions for them. Very-Low-Voltage Testing can improve the defect coverage, which we define as the maximum detectable resistance, of intra-gate and inter-gate resistive shorts. We also propose a new keeper design for CMOS domino circuits. The new keeper design has low performance impact and is best useful for small CMOS domino g...
