Frost Growth on Vertical Surfaces with Varying Wettability by El Cheikh, Amne

“…The accumulation of frost on the heat transfer surface increases pressure drop (fan power) and decreases heat transfer, because the frost layer has a low thermal conductivity much lower than that of the heat exchanger material, and it blocks the air flow. …”

Inhibiting HSP90 changes the expression pattern of PINK1 and BNIP3 and induces oxidative stress in colon cancer cells by Ejlal Abu-El-Rub (5168183)

“…Similarly, genetic knockdown of HSP90 in RKO cells produced comparable effects, including reduced cell survival and a decreased PINK1/BNIP3 ratio.</p><h3>Conclusion</h3><p dir="ltr">Targeting HSP90 in colon cancer cells disrupts their survival by decreasing PINK1 and increasing BNIP3, which activates oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum stress, ultimately triggering apoptosis.…”
