3 unusual facts about suppressor


Gun politics in Finland

Sound suppressors, a firearm accessory strictly regulated in many other jurisdictions, are also available in Finland.

Jagged Alliance 2

Weapons may be improved via special attachments, for instance a silencer or bipod.

Silencer

Suppressor, a device attached to or part of the barrel of a firearm which reduces the amount of noise and flash


ARF tumor suppressor

The ARF tumor suppressor is a protein that is transcribed from an alternate reading frame of the INK4a/ARF locus (CDKN2A).

Basal-cell carcinoma

The cause of the syndrome is a mutation in the PTCH1 tumor-suppressor gene at chromosome 9q22.3, which inhibits the hedgehog signaling pathway.

BEN domain

SMAR1 (Scaffold/Matrix attachment region-binding protein 1; also known as BANP), a tumour-suppressor MAR-binding protein that down-regulates Cyclin D1 expression by recruiting HDAC1-mSin3A co-repressor complex at Cyclin D1 promoter locus; SMAR1 is the target of prostaglandin A2 (PGA2) induced growth arrest.

Carolyn Warmus

When they gained information that Warmus had obtained a .25 caliber Beretta pistol with a silencer from Vincent Parco shortly before the murder, Detective Richard Constantino checked calls made from Warmus' home phone on January 15.

Colin Winchester

LR"?title=semi-automatic rifle">semi-automatic rifle fitted with a silencer and killed as he parked his police vehicle in the driveway of his house in Deakin, ACT.

David Leffell

Leffell was a member of the international team that discovered PTC1, a tumor suppressor gene that plays a critical role in the development of hereditary and sporadic basal cell cancer.

Denys–Drash syndrome

The cause of DDS is most commonly (96% of patients) an abnormality in the WT1 gene (Wilms tumor suppressor gene).

DNA mismatch repair

Specifically the overwhelming majority of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancers (HNPCC) are attributed to mutations in the genes encoding the MutS and MutL homologues MSH2 and MLH1 respectively, which allows them to be classified as tumour suppressor genes.

Epigenome

The aberrant epigenetic landscape of the cancer cell is characterized by a global genomic hypomethylation, CpG island promoter hypermethylation of tumor suppressor genes, an altered histone code for critical genes and a global loss of monoacetylated and trimethylated histone H4.

High tension leads

Radio suppressor type spark plug wires use compressed carbon powder as a conductor, rather than solid metal wire, to reduce radio frequency interference (RFI) produced by the wires, which may cause malfunction of sensitive electronic systems in modern vehicles.

J. D. Jones

The second is his "Whisper" family of cartridges, intended to cause maximum damage at subsonic speeds, making them nearly silent when used with a firearm silencer.

KIAA1524

Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is a cellular tumor suppressor which inhibits cell proliferation and transformation of normal cells to malignant cancer cells.

Mir-205

Micro-RNA-205 induced the expression of tumor suppressor genes IL-24 and IL-32 at both the messenger RNA and protein levels.

PAX2

PAX2 is believed to be a target of transcriptional suppression by the tumor suppressor gene WT1.

Welrod

The Welrod was a British bolt action, magazine fed, suppressed pistol devised during World War II at the Inter-Services Research Bureau (later Station IX), based near Welwyn Garden City, UK, for use by irregular forces and resistance groups.
