Co-activation of NF-κB and MYC renders cancer cells addicted to IL6 for survival and phenotypic stability

R. Barbosa, A. Q. Xu, D. D'Andrea, F. Copley, H. Patel, P. Chakravarty, A. Clear, M. Calaminici, M. Janz, B. Zhang, M. Schmidt-Supprian, J. Wang, J. Gribben, R. Tooze, J. Fitzgibbon, , D. P. Calado

This paper shows that co-activation of NF-κB and MYC in cancer cells makes them dependent on IL6 for survival and leads to a poorly-differentiated state similar to human plasmablastic lymphoma and t(8;14)[MYC-IGH] multiple myeloma.

A popular Indian clove-based mosquito repellent is a false economy

K. Tan, G. Faierstein, P. Xu, R. Barbosa, G. Buss, W. Leal

The paper tests a homemade clove-based mosquito repellent and finds it ineffective, while a higher concentration of eugenol shows moderate repellency, but DEET remains more effective and cheaper.

Conspecific larval extracts along with biotoxin to attract-and-kill mosquitoes

G. Faierstein, W. Lu, A. Sena, R. Barbosa, W. Leal

The paper develops larval extracts that attract mosquitoes to lay eggs in toxin-laced water, enhancing the attract-and-kill strategy for vector control.
