description: The present paper is dedicated to the global large solutions and incompressible limit for the compressible Navier-Stokes system in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with $d\ge 2$. We aim at extending the work by Danchin and Mucha (Adv. Math., 320, 904--925, 2017) in $L^2$ structure to that in a critical $L^p$ framework. The result implies the existence of global large solutions initially from large highly oscillating velocity fields.

description: In 2014, a joint consensus document dealing with the management of antithrombotic therapy in atrial fibrillation(AF) patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and/or undergoing percutaneous coronary or valveinterventions was published, which represented an effort of the European Society of Cardiology Working Group onThrombosis, European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA), European Association of Percutaneous CardiovascularInterventions (EAPCI), and European Association of Acute Cardiac Care (ACCA) endorsed by the Heart RhythmSociety (HRS) and Asia-Pacific Heart Rhythm Society (APHRS). Since publication of this document, additional datafrom observational cohorts, randomized controlled trials, and percutaneous interventions as well as new guidelineshave been published. Moreover, new drugs and devices/interventions are also available, with an increasing evidencebase. The approach to managing AF has also evolved towards a more integrated or holistic approach. In recognizingthese advances since the last consensus document, EHRA, WG Thrombosis, EAPCI, and ACCA, with additionalcontributions from HRS, APHRS, Latin America Heart Rhythm Society (LAHRS), and Cardiac Arrhythmia Society of Southern Africa (CASSA), proposed a focused update, to include the new data, with the remit of comprehensivelyreviewing the available evidence and publishing a focused update consensus document on the management ofantithrombotic therapy in AF patients presenting with ACS and/or undergoing percutaneous coronary or valveinterventions, and providing up-to-date consensus recommendations for use in clinical practice.
Dose-response quantification via mixed mean response and generalised propensity score models with application in the analysis of casualty count data
Creators: name: Graham, Daniel Joseph
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: This thesis is concerned with quantification of dose-response relationships for continuous exposures using causal inference methods based on the potential outcomes framework. The thesis applies and develops causal techniques in a longitudinal case study of the effect of area-based deprivation on the incidence of Child Pedestrian Casualties (CPCs) in Britain. There are four main contributory chapters of the thesis. The first investigates the link between socioeconomic deprivation and the incidence of CPCs using spatial longitudinal Generalized Linear Mixed Models (GLMMs) estimated using frequentist and Bayesian approaches. The chapter addresses issues of confounding, spatial dependence, and transmission of deprivation effects across zones (i.e. interference). The second analytical chapter develops a flexible mixed model propensity score (PS) approach to estimate average treatment effects (ATEs). Analytical results and simulations show that such an approach can be useful in capturing unobserved confounding but can also involve more extensive conditioning than is strictly necessary for causal comparison, with implications for viable sample selection and for the efficiency of ATE estimation. The third contribution constructs a semiparametric double robust (DR) estimator for continuous treatment effects. This is achieved by augmenting an outcome regression (OR) model with inverse PS covariates to obtain DR point estimates of ATEs at various doses. A penalized spline regression is then fitted to these point estimates to derive a semiparametric approximation to the dose-response. Simulations show that this DR model can provide a good approximation to linear or nonlinear dose-response functions under various sources of misspecification of the OR or PS models. Finally, the thesis proposes an approximate Bayesian version of the DR estimator. This is achieved by specifying Dirichlet prior weights for the parameters of the PS augmented OR model, and by repeatedly estimating the weighted model to build up posterior predictive distributions that are shown to be DR for ATEs.

description: This work deals with the presence of the cuscuton term in the otherwise standard dark energy evolution under the usual FLRW background. We disclose a first-order framework similar to the Hamilton-Jacobi formalism, which helps us to solve the equations of motion and find analytical solutions. We explore several possibilities, concentrating mainly on how the cuscuton-like contribution works to modify cosmic evolution. Some results are of current interest since they describe scenarios capable of changing the evolution, adding or excluding possible distinct phases during the Universe's expansion history. Additionally, we present interesting constraints on the cuscuton-like contribution for the dark energy evolution using a set of homogeneous geometrical observational probes. Finally, based on the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC), we perform a statistical comparison of the cuscuton-like model with $Λ$CDM, and find strong support for our model.

Identification of RNA-protein interactions involved in the norovirus life cycle
Creators: name: Urena Gonzalez, Luis
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2012

description: Members of the Caliciviridae family, including murine norovirus (MNV), contain conserved RNA secondary structure elements located at the 5' and 3' regions of the viral genome. The 5' extremity of the genomic (5'G) and subgenomic (5'SG) RNAs, as well as the 3' extremity (3'Ex), are believed to be involved in many aspects of calicivirus life cycle. This project was designed to identify proteins interacting with the extremities of MNV genome, as this would include proteins involved in viral translation and replication. We used a riboproteomics method to isolate RNA-binding proteins by RNA affinity chromatography and mass spectrometry from RAW264.7 S-100 extracts and rabbit reticulocyte lysates (RRL). Combining data sets obtained from RRL and S-100 lysates; various unique cellular host factors were identified using the 5'G, 5'SG, and 3'Ex RNA targets. These included several RNA-binding proteins involved in other positive-strand virus replication but not reported for Caliciviridae family, including Y-box binding protein 1 (YBX-1), ATP- dependent RNA helicase (DDX3), and Heat Shock Protein 90 (HSP90). Other identified proteins isolated as binding to the MNV genome included known calicivirus interacting proteins such as La protein (La), poly(rC) binding protein 1 (PCBP) and polypyrimidine tract binding protein (PTB). The colocalisation of some of the proteins was confirmed by confocal microscopy. The functional role of a subset of identified proteins was further analysed by using RNAi and specific protein inhibitors. These results indicate that knockdown of La, PTB, YBX-1, DDX3 and HSP90 dramatically reduces viral titre and RNA replication. Confocal microscopy showed that some of these host factors redistribute to the site of infection colocalising with MNV replication components. The use of DDX3 and HSP90 inhibitors demonstrated a significant effect on infectious virus production confirming that these factors play a crucial role in the virus life cycle. This work highlights how screening of RNA-binding proteins in the context of MNV by a riboproteomics approach could well provide insights in the mechanisms for the regulation of viral translation and replication, and could potentially pinpoint new drug targets for these important pathogens.
The modification of photon trapping orbits as a diagnostic of non-Kerr spacetimes

description: Photon circular orbits, an extreme case of light deflection, are among the hallmarks of black holes and are known to play a central role in a variety of phenomena related to these extreme objects. The very existence of such orbits when motion is not confined in the equatorial plane, i.e. spherical orbits, is indeed a special property of the separable Kerr metric and may not occur, for instance, in the spacetime of other more speculative ultracompact objects. In this paper we consider a general stationary-axisymmetric spacetime and examine under what circumstances spherical or more general, variable-radius, `spheroidal' non-equatorial photon orbits may exist with the ultimate goal of using the modifications -- or even loss -- of photon trapping orbits as a telltale of non-Kerr physics. In addressing this issue, we first derive a general necessary condition for the existence of spherical/spheroidal orbits and then go on to study photon trapping orbits in a variety of known non-Kerr metrics (Johannsen, Johanssen-Psaltis, and Hartle-Thorne). The first of these is an example of a separable spacetime which supports Kerr-like spherical photon orbits. A more detailed analysis reveals a deeper connection between the presence of spherical orbits and the separability of a metric (that is, the existence of a third integral of motion). Specifically, a spacetime that does not admit spherical orbits in any coordinates is necessarily non-separable. The other two spacetimes considered here exhibit a clear non-Kerr behaviour by having spherical photon orbits replaced by spheroidal ones. More importantly, subject to the degree of deviation from Kerr, equatorial photon rings give place to non-equatorial ones with an accompanying loss of low-inclination spheroidal orbits. The implications of these results for the electromagnetic and gravitational wave signature of non-Kerr objects are briefly discussed.

Evaluating the Effectiveness of Mobile Game-Based Learning for Raising Adolescent Health Awareness: The Case of "AHlam Na 2.0"
Creators: name: Caliston, Noel P.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2025
Subjects: subject: Human-Computer Interaction (cs.HC)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: This study addresses a critical gap in adolescent health education strategies in the Philippines, as highlighted by the Young Adult Fertility and Sexuality (YAFS) survey series, which overlooks the use of games as a medium for disseminating health information. To bridge this gap, the research introduces AHlam Na, a game-based mobile application designed to enhance adolescents' awareness and understanding of key health-related topics. Using a single-group pretest-posttest design, the study involved forty junior high school students from a randomly selected school in the Philippines. They interacted with the application that embedded adolescent health topics into its gameplay. Data collected through pretest and post-test surveys revealed a significant improvement in the student's knowledge and attitudes toward adolescent health after engaging in the game, indicating that game-based learning effectively enhances their learning experience. The positive reception and knowledge gains suggest that AHlam Na is a promising tool for promoting adolescent health awareness. Based on these findings, it is recommended that the application be integrated into the adolescent health curriculum in schools across the Philippines. Future studies should examine the long-term impact of game-based learning on health behaviors and expand the sample size to include more diverse demographic groups. This research contributes to the growing body of literature on game-based learning in health education by demonstrating the potential of digital games to address the limitations of traditional teaching methods. The successful implementation of AHlam Na underscores the importance of exploring gamified learning tools to deliver critical health information to young people effectively.

description: We introduce and study certain notions which might serve as substitutes for maximum density packings and minimum density coverings. A body is a compact connected set which is the closure of its interior. A packing $\cal P$ with congruent replicas of a body $K$ is $n$-saturated if no $n-1$ members of it can be replaced with $n$ replicas of $K$, and it is completely saturated if it is $n$-saturated for each $n\ge 1$. Similarly, a covering $\cal C$ with congruent replicas of a body $K$ is $n$-reduced if no $n$ members of it can be replaced by $n-1$ replicas of $K$ without uncovering a portion of the space, and it is completely reduced if it is $n$-reduced for each $n\ge 1$. We prove that every body $K$ in $d$-dimensional Euclidean or hyperbolic space admits both an $n$-saturated packing and an $n$-reduced covering with replicas of $K$. Under some assumptions on $K\subset \mathbb{E}^d$ (somewhat weaker than convexity), we prove the existence of completely saturated packings and completely reduced coverings, but in general, the problem of existence of completely saturated packings and completely reduced coverings remains unsolved. Also, we investigate some problems related to the the densities of $n$-saturated packings and $n$-reduced coverings. Among other things, we prove that there exists an upper bound for the density of a $d+2$-reduced covering of $\mathbb{E}^d$ with congruent balls, and we produce some density bounds for the $n$-saturated packings and $n$-reduced coverings of the plane with congruent circles.

Dissecting the DNA damage response: structural and biochemical insights into the Mec1-Ddc2 checkpoint kinase complex
Creators: name: Sawicka, Marta
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: The survival and proper functioning of an organism depends on the faithful replication of its genetic material. The yeast checkpoint kinase Mec1 and its integral partner Ddc2 (human ATR and ATRIP respectively) play a pivotal role in initiating checkpoint signalling as a response to DNA damage. Mec1 is activated by cell cycle speci c activators that act through conserved aromatic residues located in their unstructured C-terminal regions. Since the molecular details of the activation mechanism of Mec1 are not fully understood yet, we studied the structure of the Mec1-Ddc2 complex and its interactions with the activator Dpb11 protein. Our ndings provide the rst insights into the overall architecture of Mec1-Ddc2 and serve as a basis for a proposed framework for the activation of Mec1. Our single-particle cryo-electron microscopy reconstruction shows Mec1- Ddc2 exists as a dimer of heterodimers and associates through intertwining arm regions consisting of the N-terminal Mec1 HEAT repeats of the adjacent monomers. The Ddc2 subunit, which extends from these repeats, further stabilises the oligomerization interface. The head of the structure accommodates the kinase domain located at the conserved C-terminus of Mec1. Due to a head-to-head dimer conformation, the kinase domains face each other although they are fully separated indicating they do not cause structural impediments that would block substrate access. The interactions between the N-terminus of Ddc2 and the C-terminal tail of Dpb11 mediate the recruitment of the activator to the checkpoint complex. The Ddc2 subunit, which neighbours the kinase domain, not only provides structural support but also facilitates Mec1 activation by bringing Dpb11 into close proximity to the active site. We propose a model where the activator stimulates the kinase activity via multiple interactions between the Mec1 and Ddc2 subunits of the complex that trigger small allosteric changes within the kinase domains. We hope such insights will pave the way to a full mechanistic understanding of this important signalling pathway.

description: We consider new modes of two-neutrino and neutrinoless double-$β$ decays in which one $β$ electron goes over to a continuous spectrum and the other occupies a vacant bound level of the daughter ion. We calculate the corresponding phase-space factors of the final states, estimate the partial decay rates, and derive the one- and two-electron energy spectra using relativistic many-electron wave functions of atoms provided by the multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock package GRASP2K. While the bound-state neutrinoless double-$β$ decays are strongly suppressed, their two-neutrino counterparts can be observed in the next-generation double-$β$-decay experiments, most notably SuperNEMO.

Next generation 'frustrated Lewis pairs'
Creators: name: Scott, Daniel
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: The past decade has seen the emergence of a new concept in main-group chemistry: ‘frustrated Lewis pairs’ (FLPs) are combinations of a Lewis acid (LA) and base (LB) that are prevented from forming the classically-expected adduct. By displaying simultaneously acidic and basic behaviour, these systems have been shown to be capable of activating a wide range of chemical bonds, in a manner highly reminiscent of transition-metal (TM) compounds. Chief among these reactions is the activation of H2, which can then be transferred from the FLP to an appropriate substrate. FLPs have thus provided an entirely new class of homogeneous hydrogenation catalysts, which do not require the use of TMs. Nevertheless, prior to the work described herein, such catalysis had not been successfully applied to the hydrogenation of organic carbonyl functional groups, and had been found to be extremely sensitive to the presence of moisture. This thesis describes work that has successfully overcome these limitations.
Constraining the Milky Way's Dispersion Measure Using FRB and X-ray Data

description: The dispersion measures (DMs) of fast radio bursts (FRBs) are a valuable tool for probing the baryonic content of the intergalactic and the circumgalactic medium of the intervening galaxies along the sightlines. However, interpreting the DMs is complicated by the contributions from the hot gas in and around our Milky Way. This study examines the relationship between DM_MW, derived from localized FRBs, and the Galaxy's hot gas, using X-ray absorption and emission data from O VII and O VIII. We find evidence for a positive correlation between DM_MW and O VII absorption, reflecting contributions from both the disk and halo components. This conclusion is supported by two lines of evidence: (1) No correlation between DM_MW and O VII/O VIII emission, which primarily traces dense disk regions; and (2) the comparison with electron density models, where DM_MW aligns with models that incorporate both disk and halo components but significantly exceeds predictions from pure disk-only models, emphasizing the halo's role. Furthermore, the lack of correlation with O VIII absorption suggests that the primary temperature of the Galaxy's hot gas is likely around 2 x 10^6 K or less, as traced by O VII absorption, while gas at higher temperatures (~3 x 10^6 K to 5 x 10^6 K) is present but less abundant. Our findings provide insights into the Milky Way's gas distribution and improve DM_MW estimates for future cosmological studies.

It is shown that this expansion converges for $x>(αe)^α$ for $α\ge 1$. It is also shown that new expansions can be obtained for $Φ_α$ in terms of associated Stirling numbers. The new expansions converge more rapidly and on a larger domain.

description: Wasserstein distances are metrics on probability distributions inspired by the problem of optimal mass transportation. Roughly speaking, they measure the minimal effort required to reconfigure the probability mass of one distribution in order to recover the other distribution. They are ubiquitous in mathematics, with a long history that has seen them catalyse core developments in analysis, optimization, and probability. Beyond their intrinsic mathematical richness, they possess attractive features that make them a versatile tool for the statistician: they can be used to derive weak convergence and convergence of moments, and can be easily bounded; they are well-adapted to quantify a natural notion of perturbation of a probability distribution; and they seamlessly incorporate the geometry of the domain of the distributions in question, thus being useful for contrasting complex objects. Consequently, they frequently appear in the development of statistical theory and inferential methodology, and have recently become an object of inference in themselves. In this review, we provide a snapshot of the main concepts involved in Wasserstein distances and optimal transportation, and a succinct overview of some of their many statistical aspects.

Fringe Visibility Estimators for the Palomar Testbed Interferometer

description: Visibility estimators and their performance are presented for use with the Palomar Testbed Interferometer (PTI). One operational mode of PTI is single-baseline visibility measurement using pathlength modulation with synchronous readout by a NICMOS-3 infrared array. Visibility is estimated from the fringe quadratures, either incoherently, or using source phase referencing to provide a longer coherent integration time. The visibility estimators differ those used with photon-counting detectors in order to account for biases attributable to detector offsets and read noise. The performance of these estimators is affected not only by photon noise, but also by the detector read noise and errors in estimating the bias corrections, which affect the incoherent and coherent estimators differently. Corrections for visibility loss in the coherent estimators using the measured tracking jitter are also presented.

description: A common problem in acoustic design is the placement of speakers or receivers for public address systems, telecommunications, and home smart speakers or digital personal assistants. We present a novel algorithm to automatically place a speaker or receiver in a room to improve the intelligibility of spoken phrases in a design. Our technique uses a sound propagation optimization formulation to maximize the Speech Transmission Index (STI) by computing an optimal location of the sound receiver. We use an efficient and accurate hybrid sound propagation technique on complex 3D models to compute the Room Impulse Responses (RIR) and evaluate their impact on the STI. The overall algorithm computes a globally optimal position of the receiver that reduces the effects of reverberation and noise over many source positions. We evaluate our algorithm on various indoor 3D models, all showing significant improvement in STI, based on accurate sound propagation.

HST Observations of the Gravitationally Lensed Cloverleaf Broad Absorption Line QSO H1413+1143: Modeling the Lens

description: We investigate gravitational lens models for the quadruply-lensed Cloverleaf BAL QSO H1413+1143 based on the HST WFPC/WFPC2 astrometric and photometric data of the system by Turnshek et al. and the HST NICMOS-2 data by Falco et al. The accurate image positions and the dust-extinction-corrected relative amplifications, along with a possible detection of the lensing galaxy in the infrared, permit more accurate lens models than were previously possible. While more recent models are qualitatively consistent with the HST data, none of the previous models considered the dust-extinction-corrected relative amplifications of the image components. We use the power-law elliptical mass model to fit the HST data. We find that a single elliptical galaxy perturbed by an external shear can fit the image positions within the observational uncertainties; however, the predicted relative magnifications are only roughly consistent with the observational relative amplifications. We find that a primary galaxy combined with a secondary galaxy in the vicinity of the Cloverleaf or a cluster centered (south-)west of the Cloverleaf can fit both the image positions and relative amplifications within the observational uncertainties. We discuss future observations which could be used to test and/or further constrain lens models of the Cloverleaf.

description: Dynamical decoupling can enforce a symmetry on the dynamics of an open quantum system. Here we develop an efficient dynamical-decoupling-based strategy to create the decoherence-free subspaces (DFSs) for a set of qubits by optimally transferring the states of these qubits. We design to transfer the state of each qubit to all of the other qubits in an optimal and efficient manner, so as to produce an effective collective-type noise for all qubits. This collective pseudo-noise is essentially derived from arbitrarily independent real baths and needs only nearest-neighbor state transfers for its implementation. Moreover, our scheme requires only N steps to produce the effective collective-type noise for a system of N qubits. It provides an experimentally feasible and efficient approach to achieving the DFSs for encoding the protected logical qubits.

Clinical outcomes, perfusion and vascular function in patients with refractory angina and raised lipoprotein (a), treated with lipoprotein apheresis
Creators: name: Khan, Tina
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: Background: Angina which is refractory to conventional medical therapy and revascularisation is challenging to manage and novel therapeutic options are needed. Raised lipoprotein(a) is common in refractory angina and is an independent cardiovascular risk factor that can be reduced by lipoprotein apheresis. To date there is no randomised controlled data assessing the clinical benefit of lipoprotein apheresis in patients with refractory angina and raised lipoprotein(a). Methods: We conducted a randomised controlled trial in 20 patients with refractory angina and raised lipoprotein(a), with three months of blinded weekly lipoprotein apheresis or sham, followed by crossover. The primary endpoint was change in quantitative myocardial perfusion reserve (MPR) assessed by cardiovascular magnetic resonance. Secondary endpoints included measures of atheroma burden, exercise capacity, symptoms and quality of life. Results: The primary endpoint MPR increased by 0.47 [95% CI, 0.31 to 0.63] from 1.45±0.36 to 1.93±0.45 following apheresis, but decreased during sham by -0.16 [95% CI, -0.33 to 0.02] from 1.63±0.43 to 1.47±0.30; yielding a net treatment increase of 0.63 [95% CI 0.37 to 0.89; p<0.001 between groups]. Median total carotid wall volume (mm3) reduced during apheresis from 2482 [IQR 1910, 2836] before apheresis to 2251 [IQR 1719, 2437] after apheresis, but increased from 2342 [IQR 1997, 2644] pre-sham to 2455 [IQR 2166, 2831] post-sham (p<0.001 between groups). The Six Minute Walk Test (6MWT) distance(m) improved by a median value of 70.5[IQR 41.5,105.5]; there was no change in the sham arm (P=0.001 between groups). Significant improvements were also demonstrated in 4 of 5 domains of the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (all p<0.02 between groups) and quality of life physical component summary by the Short Form 36 Survey (p=0.001 between groups). Conclusions: Lipoprotein apheresis is an effective novel treatment option for patients with refractory angina and raised lipoprotein(a) improving myocardial perfusion, atheroma burden, exercise capacity and symptoms.
Acceleration of MCMC-based algorithms using reconfigurable logic
Creators: name: Liu, Shuanglong
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Monte Carlo (MC) methods such as Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) have emerged as popular tools to sample from high dimensional probability distributions. Because these algorithms can draw samples effectively from arbitrary distributions in Bayesian inference problems, they have been widely used in a range of statistical applications. However, they are often too time consuming due to the prohibitive costly likelihood evaluations, thus they cannot be practically applied to complex models with large-scale datasets. Currently, the lack of sufficiently fast MCMC methods limits their applicability in many modern applications such as genetics and machine learning, and this situation is bound to get worse given the increasing adoption of big data in many fields. The objective of this dissertation is to develop, design and build efficient hardware architectures for MCMC-based algorithms on Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), and thereby bring them closer to practical applications. The contributions of this work include: 1) Novel parallel FPGA architectures of the state-of-the-art resampling algorithms for SMC methods. The proposed architectures allow for parallel implementations and thus improve the processing speed. 2) A novel mixed precision MCMC algorithm, along with a tailored FPGA architecture. The proposed design allows for more parallelism and achieves low latency for a given set of hardware resources, while still guaranteeing unbiased estimates. 3) A new variant of subsampling MCMC method based on unequal probability sampling, along with a highly optimized FPGA architecture. The proposed method significantly reduces off-chip memory access and achieves high accuracy in estimates for a given time budget. This work has resulted in the development of hardware accelerators of MCMC and SMC for very large-scale Bayesian tasks by applying the above techniques. Notable speed improvements compared to the respective state-of-the-art CPU and GPU implementations have been achieved in this work.
Mechanotransduction in health and disease
Creators: name: Chronopoulos, Antonios
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: Physical forces regulate cellular behaviour and function during all stages of life. Mechanotransduction, the process by which cells convert mechanical stimuli into biochemical signalling events is central to a number of physiological and pathological processes. The first part of this work focuses on the effect of retinoid therapy on the mechanobiology of pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer is characterised by a persistent activation of stromal fibroblasts, known as pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs), which can perturb the biomechanical homeostasis of the tumour microenvironment to favour tumour invasion. Using biophysical and biological techniques, we report that all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), an active vitamin A metabolite restores mechanical quiescence in PSCs via a mechanism involving a retinoic acid receptor beta (RAR-β)-mediated downregulation of actomyosin (MLC-2) contracility. We show that ATRA reduces the ability of PSCs to generate high traction forces and adapt to extracellular mechanical cues (mechanosensing), as well as suppresses force-mediated extracellular matrix remodelling to inhibit local cancer cell invasion in 3D organotypic models. We thus suggest that ATRA may serve as a stroma reprogramming agent for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. In the second part of this work, we focus on syndecan-4 (Syn-4) - a ubiquitous transmembrane proteoglycan receptor. We identify Syn-4 as a cellular mechanotransducer that tunes cell mechanics by eliciting a global mechanosignalling response. We outline a mechanotransduction model whereby localised tension on Syn-4 triggers a synergistic cell-wide activation of β1 integrins, in a PI3K-dependent manner, to subsequently activate the RhoA pathway and induce adaptive cell stiffening. Furthermore, syndecan-4 mediated mechanosensing is required for YAP activation and downstream changes in gene expression. We propose that this newly identified mechanotransductive ability of Syn-4 should have direct implications for the field of mechanobiology.
