Microtubules are structural components of the cell cytoskeleton and key factors for mitosis and ciliogenesis in eukaryotes. The regulation of MT dynamics requires non-motor MAPs. We previously showed that, in human cells in culture, MAP9 (also named ASAP) is involved in MT dynamics and is essential for mitotic spindle formation and mitosis progression. Indeed, misexpression of MAP9 leads to sev...

BACKGROUND Colorectal and breast cancers are among the most common cancers worldwide. They result from a conjugated deficiency of gene maintenance and cell cycle control. OBJECTIVE We investigate the expression of the microtubule-associated protein MAP9/ASAP and its two partners AURKA and PLK1 in colorectal tumors as well as in ductal breast cancers. MATERIALS AND METHODS 26 colorectal canc...

Digital images have become increasingly common and popular in mobile communications. However, due to the distribution of these images in various devices which are commonly available to users nowadays, there is a need to develop new technologies to facilitate the sharing of large amounts of photos across various devices. In this paper, we propose a novel approach called ASAP that builds multi-cl...
