Journal Article
Morrison, A. A., & Ladomery, M. (2006). Presence of WT1 in nuclear messenger RNP particles in the human acute myeloid leukemia cell lines HL60 and K562. Cancer Letters, 244(1), 136-141. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.canlet.2005.12.018

The WT1 gene is a key player in acute myeloid leukaemia, in which it is frequently over-expressed. WT1 encodes a multifunctional zinc finger protein transcription factor, which also binds mRNA. Thus increasing evidence suggests that WT1 works both at... Read More about Presence of WT1 in nuclear messenger RNP particles in the human acute myeloid leukemia cell lines HL60 and K562.

Linear and non-linear stability thresholds for thermal convection in a box (2006)
Journal Article
