Article Synopsis
  • Robust high-throughput assays are essential in drug discovery, and this study introduces Invasion-Block, an automated platform for analyzing how cancer cells invade through tissue.
  • Using this platform, researchers screened nearly 4000 FDA-approved drugs and another 210 kinase inhibitors, discovering that certain inhibitors notably decreased the invasive behavior of melanoma cells.
  • The study highlights that targeting the ATM kinase could be a promising strategy for developing treatments to prevent melanoma metastasis in patients.

We present results from the 2D anisotropic baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) signal present in the final data set from the WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey. We analyse the WiggleZ data in two ways: first using the full shape of the 2D correlation function and secondly focusing only on the position of the BAO peak in the reconstructed data set. When fitting for the full shape of the 2D correlation function we use a multipole expansion to compare with theory.
