  • A Day in Luxembourg, LUXEMBOURG
    A Day in Luxembourg, LUXEMBOURG Why you should visit Luxembourg Luxembourg is the epitome of “the charming European city” we all grew up imagining. It’s amazingly cosmopolitan but not overwhelming, except for its extremely complex history. Its gorges traverse the city, making it a spectacular three-dimensional city, with lit-up fortifications along the walls of the gorges -- perfect for the historian and the romantic. And the food is a lovely mix of French, German, Italian and of course Luxembourgish. Three things you might be surprised to learn about Luxembourg and the people 1. Luxembourg is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its old quarters and fortifications. 2. General George Patton is buried here 3. Villeroy & Boch ceramics started in Luxembourg Favorite Walks/areas of town Go to the visitors center in Place Guillaume to sign up for any of the many fantastic—and reasonably priced—group or individual walking, biking or driving (even in your own car) historic tours with an official guide. The tours can include visits to: • Historic city center • The Petrusse gorge next to the city center • The historic Grund, down below the city center • Clausen, near the Grund • Petrusse and Bock Casemates Other very good things to do/see • American Military Cemetery, Hamm: A beautiful cemetery with more than 5,000 soldiers, most of whom fell in the Battle of the Bulge of WWII in 1944-45. The cemetery also has an impressive chapel and is the burial place of General George Patton. www.abmc.gov/cemeteries/cemeteries/lx.php • German Military Cemetery, Sandweiler: A short drive from the Hamm cemetery, this cemetery has a much more somber feel to it, containing more than 10,000 German soldiers who perished in the Battle of the Bulge in 1944-45.

Read Full License Page 1/20 Abstract Background: Osteosarcoma (OS) is a bone malignant tumor that occurs in children and adolescents. Due to a lack of reliable prognostic biomarkers, the prognosis of OS patients is often uncertain. This study aimed to construct an autophagy-related gene signature to predict the prognosis of OS patients. Methods: The gene expression prole data of OS and normal muscle tissue samples were downloaded separately from the Therapeutically Applied Research To Generate Effective Treatments (TARGET) and Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) databases . The differentially expressed autophagy-related genes (DEARGs) in OS and normal muscle tissue samples were screened using R software, before being subjected to Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed and hub autophagy-related genes were screened. Finally, the screened autophagy-related genes were subjected to univariate Cox regression, Lasso Cox regression, survival analysis, and clinical correlation analysis.

  • The Functional and Pathologic Relevance of Autophagy Proteases
    The functional and pathologic relevance of autophagy proteases Álvaro F. Fernández, Carlos López-Otín J Clin Invest. 2015;125(1):33-41. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI73940. Review Autophagy is a well-conserved catabolic process essential for cellular homeostasis. First described in yeast as an adaptive response to starvation, this pathway is also present in higher eukaryotes, where it is triggered by stress signals such as damaged organelles or pathogen infection. Autophagy is characterized at the cellular level by the engulfment of portions of the cytoplasm in double-membrane structures called autophagosomes. Autophagosomes fuse with lysosomes, resulting in degradation of the inner autophagosomal membrane and luminal content. This process is coordinated by complex molecular systems, including the ATG8 ubiquitin–like conjugation system and the ATG4 cysteine proteases, which are implicated in the formation, elongation, and fusion of these autophagic vesicles. In this Review, we focus on the diverse functional roles of the autophagins, a protease family formed by the four mammalian orthologs of yeast Atg4. We also address the dysfunctional expression of these proteases in several pathologic conditions such as cancer and inflammation and discuss potential therapies based on their modulation.

  • Biotechnology Field
    A USERS' GUIDE FOR SMES IN THE BIOTECHNOLOGY FIELD May 1999 35()$&( %\0DUWLQ%DQJHPDQQ 0HPEHURIWKH(XURSHDQ&RPPLVVLRQ In the present emerging global market, new technological advance represents one of the main ways to guarantee EU competitiveness. This is why new technologies constitute a key for our future economic development. Among those, information technologies and biotechnology probably present the biggest opportunities. Modern biotechnology is one of these key emerging technologies which Europe must harness successfully to sustain economic growth and competitiveness. Today, biotechnology related sectors employ between 300,000 and 400,000 people in 1995. In 2005, this could rise to as much as 3,000,0001. The emergence of new technologies is presenting challenges to both industry and the public sector. Some of these technologies have far reaching implications for a large number of industrial sectors, creating wealth and employment, resulting in the increased competitiveness of Europe’s economy. Modern biotechnology in its many guises has developed pharmaceutical products which are viewed as medical milestones. The direct benefits for human beings are without precedence. Human insulin (against diabetes), Interferon (against cancer) and EPO (erythropoietin, against blood deficiencies) are amongst the most famous. Biotechnology doesn’t, however, only encompass health care and diagnostics. For example, food products with higher nutritional values and longer shelf lives as well as dietary and hypo- allergenic products are now being developed. For example, a strain of rice is now being developed which those with gluten allergies could consume. Furthermore, the application of modern biotechnological techniques will have environmental implications: pollution from industry, households and agriculture can indeed be significantly reduced.

Weisman Professor Haoxing Xu Zhiyuan Yao [email protected] ORCID iD: 0000-0002-5759-9822 © Zhiyuan Yao 2018 Dedication This thesis is dedicated to my beloved wife Jie Li, and to my parents Cai Yao and Hexiang Liu for their unconditional support. This thesis is also dedicated to Saber, Artoria Pendragon, who always inspires me with her strong will and noble spirit. ii Acknowledgements First I want to thank my mentor, Dr. Daniel J. Klionsky, for his continuous support and patient guidance during my Ph.D. works. Dan is a great scientist as well as a wise advisor. His passion in science and helpful advice on my projects always encouraged me to plan ahead and consider potential problems before they develop. Five years’ experience in one’s 20s will greatly shape his view in both career and life, and I feel so lucky to have Dan as my example during my graduate life. I also want to thank my thesis committee members, Professor Haoxing Xu, Professor Lois S. Weisman and Professor Laura Olsen. Your generous support and immense knowledge provided me with invaluable suggestions and criticisms for my research. Without all this help, I could not finish this thesis. Here I would like to express my sincere thanks for all of the efforts you made.

Description Cysteine protease ATG4A is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ATG4A gene. It is mapped to Xq22.3. Autophagy is the process by which endogenous proteins and damaged organelles are destroyed intracellularly. Autophagy is postulated to be essential for cell homeostasis and cell remodeling during differentiation, metamorphosis, non-apoptotic cell death, and aging. Reduced levels of autophagy have been described in some malignant tumors, and a role for autophagy in controlling the unregulated cell growth linked to cancer has been proposed.
