Deadly Splicing: Bax Becomes Almighty

Bim, Bad, and Bax: a deadly combination in epileptic seizures.

Several Bcl-2 family members, including Bim, may contribute to programmed cell death by inducing mitochondrial cytochrome c release, which activates caspase-9 and then caspase-3, the "executioner" of the cell. In this issue of the JCI, Shinoda and collaborators show the key role of Bim in epileptic seizure-induced neuronal injury and identify the contribution of transcription factors responsibl...

On the Almighty Wand

We investigate decidability, complexity and expressive power issues for (first-order) separation logic with one record field (herein called SL) and its fragments. SL can specify properties about the memory heap of programs with singly-linked lists. Separation logic with two record fields is known to be undecidable by reduction of finite satisfiability for classical predicate logic with one bina...
