Bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET) proteins are therapeutic targets in several cancers including the most common malignant adult brain tumor glioblastoma (GBM). Multiple small molecule inhibitors of BET proteins have been utilized in preclinical and clinical studies. Unfortunately, BET inhibitors have not shown efficacy in clinical trials enrolling GBM patients.

Article Synopsis
- This study examined how differences between legs affect jump height in unilateral countermovement jumps (CMJs) and force production in bilateral CMJs among 23 senior basketball players.
- Results indicated that there were significant correlations between leg differences in jump height and force metrics during bilateral jumps.
- Interestingly, the preferred leg didn't consistently outperform the non-preferred leg, suggesting that the preferred leg may actually contribute less to overall force production in both jump types.
Article Synopsis
- * Most performance metrics showed acceptable reliability, but jump height for unilateral CMJs and certain metrics for the left leg during bilateral CMJs had lower reliability.
- * The findings indicated that unilateral CMJs provide more consistently reliable single-leg performance data, whereas bilateral CMJs offer better reliability for measuring inter-limb asymmetries.
This study aimed to compare the between-session reliability of performance and asymmetry variables between unilateral and bilateral standing broad jumps (SBJ). Twenty-four amateur basketball players (12 males and females) completed two identical sessions which consisted of four unilateral SBJs (two with each leg) and two bilateral SBJs. Mean and peak values of force, velocity and power, and impulse were obtained separately for each leg using a dual force platform.

Fifteen males completed four identical sessions (three sets of six repetitions at 30% one-repetition maximum during the countermovement jump and bench press throw) with the only difference of the KR condition provided: no feedback, velocity feedback after the first half of repetitions of each set (HalfKR), velocity feedback immediately after each repetition (ImKR), and feedback of the average velocity of each set (AvgKR). When compared with the control condition, the ImKR reported the highest velocity performance (1.
