Targeted therapy of epigenomic regulatory mechanisms controlling the epithelial to mesenchymal transition during tumor progression
No full textThe epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a reversible change in cell phenotype that plays a crucial role during normal development and cancer metastasis. EMT imparts embryonic epithelial cells with the ability to migrate and to give rise to organs or tissues at distant sites. During cancer progression, the same developmental process is utilized in an analogous manner to enable cancer cells to move to distant organs and form metastases. The reversion of EMT via the mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition (MET) appears to be required for the formation of secondary tumors at distal sites. The plasticity of epigenomic modifications that control the transcriptional program of cells enables cells to switch back and forth from epithelial and mesenchymal phenotypes during these transitions. Here, we review the interplay between complex epigenomic regulatory mechanisms and various transcription factors involved in EMT leading to changes in gene expression and cell phenotype. We also discuss the way that a deeper understanding of the epigenomic regulation of EMT might shed light onto the process of cancer progression and reveal new targets for novel and more specific anticancer epigenomic therapies.Deutsche Krebshilfe [109088]; Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft [JO 815/3

Assessing financial well-being of merchants by analyzing behavioral patterns in historical transactions
No full textThis study focuses on a new approach to estimate financial wellbeing indicators for merchants, by looking at behavioral patterns of their customers using transaction history. The transaction data for about 10,000 merchants in a specific country, was analyzed in terms of diversity and propensity of their customers using factors like age, distance travelled to shop, time of the day for shopping, day of the week for shopping, educational status, gender etc. These factors were used as independent variables to predict the financial well-being of merchants, particularly in two dimensions – total revenue and consistency in revenue, both relative to other merchants in the same industry. The merchants were then also divided into the categories of Essential, Non- essential and Luxury goods depending on the industry they belong to and it was interesting to observe the contrast across categories. The results suggest that behavioral patterns could be used to augment current methods of calculating credit score
Swirski mite (suggested common name) Amblyseius swirskii Athias-Henriot (Arachnida: Mesostigmata: Phytoseiidae)
No full textAmblyseius is a beneficial predatory mite endemic to the Eastern Mediterranean region. This species is considered a generalist predator, and readily consumes small soft-bodied pest species as well as pollen or plant exudates. Amblyseius swirskii has attracted substantial interest as a biological control agent of mites, thrips and whiteflies in greenhouse and nursery crops and is currently reared and sold commercially in Europe and North America for this purpose. This 5-page fact sheet was written by Mahmut Dogramaci, Garima Kakkar, Vivek Kumar, Jianjun Chen, and Steven Arthurs, and published by the UF Department of Entomology and Nematology, June 2013.
