Analysis of Differences Between Groups of Locomotive Crew Drivers With Different Degrees of Ability to Arbitrarily Regulate Their Functional State by N. V. Shcherbina

“…We analyzed the differences in psychophysiological and personal characteristics between three groups of test drivers and locomotive crew assistants with varying degrees of ability to voluntarily regulate their functional state. For the analysis, we used the data of psychophysiological examination using the UPDK-MK complex for professional psychophysiological examination and selection of railway workers (Neurokom, Russia) and data obtained by the method of functional biocontrol with biofeedback (NeuroDog, Neurokom, Russia). …”

Designer polyQ fusion proteins sequester USP7/HDM2 for modulating P53 functionality by Xiang-Le Zhang, Hong-Wei Yue, Ya-Jun Liu, Jian-Yang Wang, Heng-Tong Duan, Yin-Hu Liu, Lei-Lei Jiang, Hong-Yu Hu

“…Summary: Overexpression of USP7 and HDM2 inactivates P53 signaling in tumor cells and facilitates their progression, but suppression of these targets by conventional strategies to reactivate P53 function remains a challenge. We applied polyQ sequences and target-interacting peptides to engineer polyQ fusion proteins that specifically sequester the targets, hence depleting their availabilities and modulating the P53 functionality. …”
