Abstract Accumulating evidence suggests important roles for the receptor tyrosine kinase Axl in cancer progression, invasion, metastasis, drug resistance, and patient mortality, highlighting as an attractive target therapeutic development. We have generated characterized a potent selective small-molecule inhibitor, R428, that blocks catalytic procancerous activities of Axl. R428 inhibits with low nanomolar activity blocked Axl-dependent events, including Akt phosphorylation, breast cell...

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are composed of a large number inexpensive power-constrained wireless nodes, which detect and monitor physical parameters around them through self-organization. Utilizing clustering algorithms to form hierarchical network topology is common method implementing management data aggregation in WSNs. Assuming that the residual energy nodes follows random distribution, we propose load-balanced algorithm for WSNs on basis their distance density making it essentially...

The chemical and electrochemical reactions at the positive electrode-electrolyte interface in Li-ion batteries are hugely influential on cycle life safety. Ni-rich layered transition metal oxides exhibit higher interfacial reactivity than their lower Ni-content analogues, reacting via mechanisms that poorly understood. Here, we study pivotal role of electrolyte solvent, specifically cyclic ethylene carbonate (EC) linear ethyl methyl (EMC), determining charged LiNi0.33Mn0.33Co0.33O2 (NMC111)...

AbstractThe insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) receptor (IGF-IR) is known to regulate a variety of cellular processes including cell proliferation, survival, differentiation, and transformation. IRS-1 Shc, substrates the IGF-IR, are mediate IGF-IR signaling pathways such as those mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), which believed play important roles in some IGF-IR-dependent biological functions. We used cytoplasmic domain yeast two-hybrid...
