MITOCHONDRIAL DIVISION INHIBITOR (MDIVI-1) INDUCES EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX (ECM)-DETACHMENT OF VIABLE BREAST CANCER CELLS BY A DRP1-INDEPENDENT MECHANISM

Mitochondrial division inhibitor (mdivi-1) induces extracellular matrix (ECM)-detachment of viable breast cancer cells by a DRP1-independent mechanism

Abstract Increasing evidence supports the hypothesis that cancer progression is under mitochondrial control.Mitochondrial fission plays a pivotal role in the maintenance of cancer cell homeostasis.The inhibition of DRP1, the main regulator of mitochondrial fission, with the mitochondrial division Slings inhibitor (mdivi-1) had been associated with

A close relative of the Amazon river dolphin in marine deposits: a new Iniidae from the late Miocene of Angola

Background A few odontocetes (echolocating toothed cetaceans) have been able to independently colonize freshwater ecosystems.Although some extant species of delphinids (true dolphins) and phocoenids (porpoises) at least occasionally migrate upstream of large river systems, they have close relatives in fully marine regions.This contrasts with the th

Clustering K-SVD for sparse representation of images

Abstract K-singular value decomposition (K-SVD) is a frequently used dictionary learning (DL) algorithm that iteratively works between sparse coding and dictionary updating.The sparse coding process generates sparse coefficients for each training sample, and the sparse coefficients induce clustering features.In the applications like image processin
