Quantbox - Powering Arjun Erigaisi and Indian ChessI first met the people at Quantbox in July 2023 when I visited their office in Bangalore. Quantbox - a high frequency trading company, had just made the announcement of sponsoring Arjun Erigaisi for a period of 5 years with a deal of US$1.5 million (Rs.12.4 crores). What stood out for me on that day was the genuine warmth that all the members of the Quantbox team showed towards Arjun.

From feeding tube to freedomFor most of us, eating is second nature — a daily act of nourishment, comfort, and connection. But for an 18-year-old Mohan Raj, a 10th standard student, a simple meal was a lifelong impossibility. From the moment he was born, Mohan had never swallowed a bite of food. Born to a humble family in Tamil Nadu’s Ranipet district, Mohan is the son of a driver. His parents first noticed something was wrong when, as a newborn, he choked with every attempt to feed.

Editor’s summaryThe transcriptional coactivator YAP promotes development and wound healing and is implicated in various diseases. Shah et al. found that YAP promoted cell motility by inducing a switch in the activity of Rho family GTPases. YAP-TEAD4 complexes mediated the induction of TRIO, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor that activated Rac1 and consequently inhibited RhoA, resulting in increased cell migration and invasion.

Silent force behind grandmasters
It was a regular morning at the breakfast room of my hotel in Wijk aan Zee. I was having my breakfast. Suddenly, Vladimir Fedoseev turned up. I have known him for years. I have even played against him. It was wonderful to see him at the event. He greeted me warmly and introduced me to someone standing behind him. He said, “He is my trainer.”
I was surprised looking at him because I hadn’t seen him before.

However, distal elements with unidirectional transcriptional patterns are often overlooked, leaving their identity and function poorly understood. Here, we performed a systematic comparison between divergent and unidirectional elements, revealing their distinct architectural and functional features.
