Sudemycin E Influences Alternative Splicing and Changes Chromatin Modifications
To determine the effect on gene expression, we performed genome-wide array analysis. Sudemycin E first causes a rapid change in alternative pre-messenger RNA splicing, which is later followed by changes in overall gene expression and arrest in the G2 phase of the cell cycle.

No Association between Germline Variation in Catechol-O-Methyltransferase and Colorectal Cancer Survival in Postmenopausal Women
Because catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT; 22q11.21) activity is an important component of estrogen-mediated carcinogenesis, we hypothesized that germline variation in COMT may be associated with CRC survival.

Designing Bifunctional NOP Receptor-Mu-Opioid Receptor Ligands from NOP-Receptor Selective Scaffolds. Part II
We describe a continuing structure–activity relationship (SAR) study of the NOP-selective piperidin-4-yl-1,3-dihydroindol-2-one scaffold, to obtain bifunctional activity at MOP, and a suitable ratio of NOP/MOP agonist activity that produces a non-addicting analgesic profile.

Leading the Conversation on the Future of Robotics
Lately it seems that robotics is at the forefront of many conversations—about technology, jobs, startups, education, and more. At SRI, we’re gearing up for National Robotics Week in April and partnering with Xconomy to bring together some of the industry’s foremost thought leaders on April 10 at Robo Madness 2014. And, we’ll be sharing our passion for robotics…

Iris Recognition Improves Access Control without Slowing Down Business
If your office building or facility is like most, people come and go throughout the day. Employees and visitors need quick access to get their jobs done, and your business needs security. So what is the best approach to ensuring secure access without slowing things down? Most organizations use a variety of traditional methods to…
