Hundreds of "children of the disappeared" are living today, young people in their early thirties, some of them still unaware that their parents are, in effect, their biological parents' killers.
We used DAVID functional annotation clustering to assess the statistically significant overrepresentation of these urinary arsenic modified genes by biological category: natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity (p < 0.001), immune response (p < 0.001), antigen processing and presentation (p < 0.001), and apoptosis (p = 0.009).
Tomasello, E. et al. Gene structure, expression pattern, and biological activity of mouse killer cell activating receptor-associated protein (KARAP)/DAP-12.
+ The Vector Gallery in LA staged The Retrial of Charles Manson last Monday with the serial killer's biological son, Matthew Roberts, playing the role of Manson himself.
B3 ON THE OTHER SIDE -- Before he defected to America, Dr. Ken Alibek was the Soviet Union's ranking expert in turning killer germs into biological weapons.
Before he defected to America, Dr. Ken Alibek was the Soviet Union's ranking expert in turning anthrax and a dozen other killer germs into biological weapons.
If nefarious biohackers were to create a biological weapon from scratch — a killer that would bounce from host to host to host, capable of reaching millions of people, unrestrained by time or distance — they would probably begin with some online shopping.
After acute 4.45 Gy exposures, biological processes affected included natural killer cell activation (p-value 6.7 × 10-5) and other cell signaling processes (p-value 1.3 × 10-2), nobservedved after LDR.
It has been reported that the N-terminal aminoacid stretch (1 30) from IL-2 binds to IL-2Rβ and reproduce some of the IL-2 biological functions, as lymphokine activated killer (LAK) cells activation, induction of IFN-γ production and T cell proliferation stimulation [ 34, 35].
Interestingly, GSEA (Gene Set Enrichment Analysis using a Fisher-test) of genes with increased entropy in the metastatic phenotype revealed enrichment of several biological pathways, notably apoptosis, natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity and interleukin-2 (IL2), androgen receptor and insulin growth factor (IGF) signalling (Table 2).
