Abstract The NF-κB family comprises five transcription factors (RELA, RELB, C-REL, NF-κB1 (p50) and NF-κB2 (p52)) that form homo- or heterodimers among themselves to regulate gene expression by binding DNA. Here we show that p52 activates transcription without directly binding DNA but as a heterotetrameric complex with ETS1, a transcription factor outside the NF-κB family.

Abstract Drug screening based on in-vitro primary tumor cell culture has demonstrated potential in personalized cancer diagnosis. However, the limited number of tumor cells, especially from patients with early stage cancer, has hindered the widespread application of this technique. Hence, we developed a digital microfluidic system for drug screening using primary tumor cells and established a working protocol for precision medicine.

Supporting young people has always been at the heart of St John Ambulance through youth education and training of first aid skills. But until recently, we had never focused on addressing the specific health issues experienced by young people, particularly in less well-served communities.
