TITLE: "Proteogenomic characterization of the molecular determinants of prostate cancer radioresistance." ABSTRACT: Prostate Cancer (PC), the second most common cause of cancer death in men, is frequently treated using radiotherapy with curative intent. Despite its effectiveness, radiotherapy often results in aggressive PC relapse characterized by radioresistance. The diversity in therapeutic response to radiotherapy, and the molecular […]

TITLE: "Supervised capacity preserving mapping: a clustering guided visualization method for scRNA-seq data." ABSTRACT: Recently, various computational methods have been developed to analyze the scRNAseq data, such as clustering and visualization. However, current visualization methods, including t-SNE and UMAP, are challenged by the limited accuracy of rendering the geometric relationship of populations with distinct functional […]

TITLE: "Electric actuation of DNA-based molecular machines.” ABSTRACT: A wide range of machine-like molecular assemblies have been generated over the past years. Most of them have been driven (or controlled) by DNA hybridization, utilization of buffer changes, or using chemical modifications such as photoswitches. A more recently explored strategy is the use of electrical fields for the manipulation of DNA devices, which enables fast […]
