Giant Gravitons - with Strings Attached (III)
We develop techniques to compute the one-loop anomalous dimensions of
operators in the super Yang-Mills theory that are dual to open
strings ending on boundstates of sphere giant gravitons. Our results, which are
applicable to excitations involving an arbitrary number of open strings,
generalize the single string results of hep-th/0701067. The open strings we
consider carry angular momentum on an S embedded in the S of the
AdSS background. The problem of computing the one loop anomalous
dimensions is replaced with the problem of diagonalizing an interacting Cuntz
oscillator Hamiltonian. Our Cuntz oscillator dynamics illustrates how the
Chan-Paton factors for open strings propagating on multiple branes can arise
dynamically.Comment: 66 pages; v2: improved presentatio
Aspects of Higher Order Gravity and Holography
Some thermodynamical properties of Lovelock gravity are discussed in several
space-time dimensions, the holographic principle being one of the ingredients
of the discussion. As it turns out, the area law and the brickwall method,
though correct for the Einstein-Hilbert theory, may fail to work in general.Comment: 15 page
Giants On Deformed Backgrounds
We study giant graviton probes in the framework of the three--parameter
deformation of the AdS_5 x S^5 background. We examine both the case when the
brane expands in the deformed part of the geometry and the case when it blows
up into AdS. Performing a detailed analysis of small fluctuations around the
giants, the configurations turn out to be stable. Our results hold even for the
supersymmetric Lunin-Maldacena deformation.Comment: LaTex, 28 pages, uses JHEP3; v2: minor corrections, references added;

Analysis of NPM1 splice variants reveals differential expression patterns of prognostic value in acute myeloid leukemia
Mutations of the nucleophosmin-1 (NPM1) gene in cytogenetically normal (CN) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) identify a group of patients with more favorable prognosis. NPM1 encodes three main alternatively spliced isoforms R1(B23.1), R2(B23.2), and R3(B23.3). The expression of splice variants R1, R2 and R3 were higher in AML patients compared to normal cells of healthy volunteers (HVs), although RNA-seq analysis revealed enhanced R2 expression also in less differentiated cells of HVs as well as in AML cells. The variant R2, which lacks exons 11 and 12 coding for the nucleolar localization domain, might behave similar to the mutant form of NPM1 (NPM1mut). In accordance, in CN-AML high R2 expression was associated with favorable impact on outcome. Moreover, functional studies showed nucleolar localization of the eGFP-NPM1 wildtype and cytoplasmic localization of the eGFP-NPM1 mut protein. While the eGFP-NPM1 R2 splice variant localized predominantly in the nucleoplasm, we also could detect cytoplasmic expression for the R2 variant. These results support a unique biological consequence of R2 overexpression and in part explain our clinical observation, where that high R2 variant expression was associated with a better prognosis in CN-AML patients
