Connexin 43 Loss Triggers Cell Cycle Entry and Invasion in Non-Neoplastic Breast Epithelium: A Role for Noncanonical Wnt Signaling by Fostok, Sabreen

“…Cell cycle entry and proliferation were enhanced, concomitantly with c-Myc and cyclin D1 upregulation, while no detectable activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling was observed. Motility and invasion were also triggered and were associated with altered acinar morphology and activation of ERK1/2 and Rho GTPase signaling, which acts downstream of the noncanonical Wnt pathway. …”

Exendin-4 alleviates steatosis in an in vitro cell model by lowering FABP1 and FOXA1 expression via the Wnt/-catenin signaling pathway by Olfa Khalifa (10914452)

“…Interestingly, the silencing of β-catenin with siRNA abolished the effect of Ex-4 on these genes, suggesting dependency on the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Additionally, after β-catenin silencing, OA treatment significantly increased the expression of nuclear transcription factors SREBP-1 and TCF4, whereas Ex-4 significantly decreased this upregulation. …”

Evidence of a universal relation between electron-mode coupling and �� in Ba1−�⁢K�⁢Fe2⁢As2 superconductor from laser angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy by Malaeb, W.

“…We performed a laser angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) study on a wide doping range of the Ba1−⁢K⁢Fe2⁢As2 (BaK) iron-based superconductor. We observed a robust low-binding energy (BE) kink structure (kink1) in the dispersion which is doping dependent whereby its energy peaks at the optimally doped level (∼⁢0.4) and decreases towards the underdoped and overdoped sides. …”

Insights on the effect of water content in carburizing gas mixtures on the metal dusting corrosion of iron by El Tayeb Bentria (9904024)

“…At later stage, the formation of oxide scale leads to an elevated concentration of H₂O/OH molecules on the surface due to the decrease in Fe affinity to dissociate water. This results into blocking the Fe catalytic sites leading to lower C and O diffusion to the bulk of the sample.…”

A comparison of metals in sediments and water in the River Nahr-Ibrahim, Lebanon by Korfali, Samira Ibrahim

“…Data revealed a drop in metal concentrations (Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd) in sediments at quarry site after its closure. The decrease in precipitation rate, lowering the level of water and the dilution of industrial discharges and decrease in water pH led most probably to the desorption of metals from sediments into the water.…”
