A new method for fabricating conjugated polymer films was developed using electrochemical polymerization in liquid crystals and magnetic orientation. A uniaxial main chain orientation and a crosslinked network structure were achieved with this method. By employing eight types of monomers, the influence of the crosslinking for the film was…[Read more]

Limitations of standalone MD and crystallization are discussed to underline the evolution of MDCr. In this review, MDCr’s ability and feasibility in the treatment of industrial wastewater are highlighted. This manuscript also examines the operational issues, including crystal deposition (scaling) on the membrane surface, pore wetting phenomenon…[Read more]

Intraocular osseous metaplasia is a rare histological finding associated with benign cellular transformation. Its development requires inflammatory cytokines and the process takes many years. Previous case reports of intraocular ossification manifested as linear calcification or white plaques. In contrast, our case presented with a tumor-like…[Read more]

The growth and productivity of several apple rootstocks have been evaluated in various previous studies. However, limited information is available on their tolerance to osmotic stress. In the present study, the physiological and molecular responses as well as abscisic acid (ABA) levels were assessed in six apple rootstocks (M26, V3, G41, G935, B9…[Read more]

We first highlight the role of sedimentation velocity and sedimentation equilibrium in addressing receptor assembly state, and present a comparative analysis across the receptor family. We then use these results for understanding how receptors assemble at multisite regulatory elements, and hypothesize how these findings might play a role in…[Read more]

However, complete bilateral and unilateral mucosa healing was observed in 4 (36.4%) and 1 patients (9.1%) treated with septal cartilage, respectively. Complete healing rate for septal perforation was significantly higher in TnR Nasal Mesh than in septal cartilage insertion (p=0.022). None of the patients showed complications or adverse reactions…[Read more]

Risk of bias was analyzed with the PEDro scale, and all studies had a medium or low risk. However, risk of bias due to conflicts of interest could not be evaluated in most studies, since they did not include a statement on this issue. Conclusion Future research on this topic should include randomized intervention and control groups, with sample…[Read more]

Polyubiquitination does not occur as a direct result of the perturbation of the redox cycle as no polyubiquitination was observed after treatment with rotenone or antimycin A, which both inhibit mitochondrial electron transport. Interestingly, polyubiquitination was observed after the inhibition of the lysine acetyltransferase KATB3/p300. We…[Read more]

The N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein attachment protein receptor YKT6 is a key protein that controls the release of exosomes, was reported to play important roles in multiple cancers. However, the role of YKT6 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is still unknown.

Here we first used bioinformatics tools to analyze the

mRNA…[Read more]

The catalytic dehydration of a bio-based fatty alcohol was performed using Al2O3 prepared by solvothermal synthesis for selective production of long-chain linear-alpha-olefins (LAO). The effect of the synthesis temperature of alumina precursors on the dehydration of 1-octadecanol (C18H38O) was examined based on the textural properties and Lewis…[Read more]

However, more studies regarding these DEGs and type I IFN signaling in this infectious context are necessary to more fully clarify the underlying mechanisms that arise in response to PPE57 during MTB infection.Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is a WHO priority pathogen and vaccine target which causes infections in low-income and…[Read more]

Southern fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus) are known to migrate from the Antarctic to mid-latitudes during winter for breeding, but the occurrence and distribution of this species is not well known in the waters around New Zealand. The ‘doublet’ calls are one of the main calls emitted specifically by fin whales and repeated in a regular pattern,…[Read more]
