CROSSTALK BETWEEN REPAIR PATHWAYS ELICITS DOUBLE-STRAND BREAKS IN ALKYLATED DNA AND IMPLICATIONS FOR THE ACTION OF TEMOZOLOMIDE

Crosstalk between repair pathways elicits double-strand breaks in alkylated DNA and implications for the action of temozolomide

Temozolomide (TMZ), a DNA methylating agent, is the primary chemotherapeutic drug used in glioblastoma treatment.TMZ induces mostly N-alkylation adducts (N7-methylguanine and N3-methyladenine) and some O6-methylguanine (O6mG) adducts.Current models propose that during DNA replication, thymine is incorporated across from O6mG, promoting a futile cyc

Robust Optimal Control of Quadrotor UAVs

This paper provides the design and implementation of an L1-optimal control of a quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).The quadrotor UAV is an underactuated rigid body with four propellers that generate forces along the rotor axes.These four forces are used to achieve asymptotic tracking of four outputs, namely the position of the center of mass o
