inhibition of the oncogenic activation of signalling pathways represents the main goal of drug discovery in oncology. Selective inhibitors of oncogenes such as mutated kinases and phosphatases have been identified mainly through traditional small molecule drug screenings aimed at identifying inhibitors of catalytic activity. However, ever-increasing failure rates, high costs, unsatisfactory saf...

465 news & views of amplifiers and logic devices based on graphene, actually enables a new class of nonlinear radiofrequency electronic devices. Frequency multipliers 5,6, , high-frequency mixers 7 and digital modulators 8,9 have all been recently demonstrated using this principle, with operating frequencies as high as 16 GHz and radiofrequency efficiencies in excess of 90% (ref. 10). Infrared ...

Can public service broadcasting under the pressure of the market approach be saved for development and nation building purposes in developing countries? Within the context of the ongoing debate about the future of public service broadcasting and how to justify it, this paper seeks answers to the above question by first of all describing what the market paradigm or approach to the regulation and...

Recent technological developments allow gathering single-cell measurements across different domains (genomic, transcriptomics, proteomics, imaging etc). Sophisticated computational algorithms are required in order to harness the power of single-cell data. This session is dedicated to computational methods for single-cell analysis in various biological domains, modelling of population heterogene...
