It is capable of monitoring groups of hosts for high availability. Managing relayd(8) involves reading the man pages and configuring the relayd.conf file. You can set up simple HTTP relay configurations, encrypt HTTP relay […]
Researchers at the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center have discovered a new role for the protein ERK in a pathway activated by interferon-gamma that can induce cell death. The study found that interferon-gamma signaling led to hyperactivation of ERK in melanoma cells, causing stress and ultimately cell death. Blocking ERK signaling prevented cell death in […]
