SUMOylation regulates LKB1 localization and its oncogenic activity in liver cancer
(Elsevier, 2019-02)
BACKGROUND: Even though liver kinase B1 (LKB1) is usually described as a tumor suppressor in a wide variety of tissues, it has been shown that LKB1 aberrant expression is associated with bad prognosis in Hepatocellular ...

Effect of Chemical Structure and Salt Concentration on the Crystallization and Ionic Conductivity of Aliphatic Polyethers
(MDPI, 2019-03-09)
Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) is the most widely used polymer in the field of solid polymer electrolytes for batteries. It is well known that the crystallinity of polymer electrolytes strongly affects the ionic conductivity ...
CO2-sourced polycarbonates as solid electrolytes for room temperature operating lithium batteries
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019-03-19)
In the last few years, polycarbonates have been identified as alternatives to poly(ethylene oxide) as polymer electrolytes for lithium battery applications. In this work, we show the design of CO2-sourced
polycarbonates ...
