Journal Article

The phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase p85alpha gene is an oncogene in human ovarian and colon tumors.

TL;DR: expression of a mutant protein with a 23 amino acid deletion leads to constitutive activation of PI3k providing the first direct evidence that p85alpha is a new oncogene involved in human tumorigenesis.

Shielding properties of laser-induced breakdown in water for pulse durations from 5 ns to 125 fs

TL;DR: The shielding effectiveness of laser-induced breakdown from focused, visible laser pulses from 5 ns to 125fs is determined from measurements of transmission of energy through the focal volume and the shielding efficiency decreases as a function of pulse duration and increases from 300 fs to 125 fs.
