On URANS Congruity with Time Averaging: Analytical Laws Suggest Improved Models
The standard 1-equation model of turbulence was first derived by Prandtl and has evolved to be a common method for practical flow simulations. Five fundamental laws that any URANS model should satisfy are $$ \beg...

Synergistic cytotoxicity of radiation and oncolytic Lister strain vaccinia in V600D/EBRAF mutant melanoma depends on JNK and TNF-α signaling
Melanoma is an aggressive skin cancer that carries an extremely poor prognosis when local invasion, nodal spread or systemic metastasis has occurred. Recent advances in melanoma biology have revealed that RAS-...

Genetic Background Influences UPR but not PLP Processing in the rumpshaker Model of PMD/SPG2
Mutations of the proteolipid protein gene (PLP1) cause Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD) and Spastic paraplegia type 2 (SPG2). The rumpshaker mutation is associated with mild forms of PMD or SPG2 in man and the ...

Age-related axonal and myelin changes in the rumpshaker mutation of the Plp gene
The PLP1/Plp gene encodes proteolipid protein (PLP) and DM20, the major central nervous system myelin proteins. Mutations in the PLP1/Plp gene cause dysmyelinating disorders in man and animals. The rumpshaker mut...
