KRAB zinc finger proteins link heterochromatin maintenance to replicative stress and inflammation in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

Filipe Amândio Brandão Sanches Vong Martins

Genomic instability enhances cancer progression by favoring clonal diversity, yet uncontrolled replicative stress can lead to mitotic catastrophe and inflammatory responses promoting immune rejection. KRAB-containing zinc finger proteins (KZFPs) are epigen ...

Water retention and swelling behaviour of granular bentonites for application in Geosynthetic Clay Liner (GCL) systems

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Ali Seiphoori

Geosynthetic Clay Liner (GCL) systems are used as efficient hydraulic barriers in landfills for the disposal of hazardous municipal wastes. Along with geotextiles, bentonite materials are chosen as one of the primary components of GCLs due to their high re ...

Removal of the antiviral agent oseltamivir and its biological activity by oxidative processes

Urs von Gunten, Kristin Schirmer, Silvio Canonica

The antiviral agent oseltamivir acid (OA, the active metabolite of Tamiflu) may occur at high concentrations in wastewater during pandemic influenza events. To eliminate OA and its antiviral activity from wastewater, ozonation and advanced oxidation proces ...

Practical Box Splines for Reconstruction on the Body Centered Cubic Lattice

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville

We introduce a family of box splines for efficient, accurate, and smooth reconstruction of volumetric data sampled on the body-centered cubic (BCC) lattice, which is the favorable volumetric sampling pattern due to its optimal spectral sphere packing prope ...
