Article Synopsis
  • - Hypopharyngeal and laryngeal cancers, part of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), have low survival rates and high recurrence, highlighting the need for better treatment strategies against metastasis and poor prognosis.
  • - The study discovered that TRIM47, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, is upregulated in hypopharyngeal cancer tissues and is linked to worse survival outcomes; it stabilizes vimentin (a protein) through a specific type of ubiquitination.
  • - TRIM47 enhances cancer cell growth and spread by promoting vimentin's role, making it a potential biomarker for early diagnosis and a target for future therapies in treating hypopharyngeal and

Enhancing the precision of measurements by harnessing entanglement is a long-sought goal in quantum metrology. Yet attaining the best sensitivity allowed by quantum theory in the presence of noise is an outstanding challenge, requiring optimal probe-state generation and read-out strategies. Neutral-atom optical clocks, which are the leading systems for measuring time, have shown recent progress in terms of entanglement generation but at present lack the control capabilities for realizing such schemes.
