Stressed Yeast Paint a Picture of Dorian Gray

We all pass unwanted stuff on to our children—emotional baggage, peculiar habits, unfashionable furniture. Cells do the same thing when they divide; along with their newly replicated genomes and the vital cellular organelles, they also pass on a lifetime’s worth of accrued rubbish. An important component of this is the legacy of insoluble aggregated protein that the parent cell has failed to de...

mTOR and its link to the picture of Dorian Gray - re-activation of mTOR promotes aging

replicative cellular senescence that is defined by irreversible loss of proliferative potential, adoption of characteristic morphology and expression of typical biomarkers [1, 2]. Cellular senescence acts as a barrier to malignant cell transformation in vivo [3] and may contribute to organismal ageing [1, 2, 4]. The p53 tumor suppressor is a major determinant of cellular senescence [5]. It play...

The Concept of Reality in Oscar Wilde’s the Picture of Dorian Gray

Oscar Wilde’s novel is regarded as a sort of autobiography that brings (his) life and art together, a self-portrait offering the reader a glimpse at this Irish writer’s inner reality, a mirror that reflects not only Wilde’s image (a partial representation of his self), but also the Victorian society’s in relation to the artist/individual (reality outside the self).

Aestheticism, Homoeroticism, and Christian Guilt in the Picture of Dorian Gray: a Darwinian Critique

Variability inthe

We present the results of the first systematic study of correlated variability in the X-ray emission and the parsec-scale radio structure of the ‘superluminal’ quasar 3C 345. This quasar is one of a class of core-dominated flat-spectrum radio sources which are believed to emit X-rays via the synchrotrons self-Compton process. By studying its variability in X-rays, we can test this hypothesis fo...
