Investigating The Efficacy of Ruxolitinib and CHIR-99021 in Targeting Pediatric Neuroblastoma Stem Cells by Al Sayyed, Fatima

“…In this study, we investigate the efficacy of two small molecules Ruxolitinib, a JAK/STAT inhibitor, and CHIR-99021, a GSK-3 inhibitor, in targeting pediatric neuroblastoma stem cells by testing them on human MYC-N amplified, IMR-32, and non-MYC-N amplified, SK-N-SH, cell lines. Treating neuroblastoma cells with Ruxolitinib and CHIR-99021 resulted in significant reduction in cellular proliferation, viability, apoptosis and tumorsphere formation capacity in both IMR-32 and SK-N-SH cell lines. …”

Open carbon frameworks - a search for optimal geometry for hydrogen storage by Kuchta, Bogdan

“…From an analysis of an analytical model and simulations of adsorption the physical limits of hydrogen adsorption have been defined: (i) higher storage capacities in slit-shaped pores can be obtained by fragmentation/truncation of graphene sheets into nano-metric elements which creates surface areas in excess of 2600 m2/g, the surface area for infinite graphene sheets; (ii) the positive influence of increasing surface area is compensated by the decreasing energy of adsorption in the carbon scaffolds of nano-metric sizes; (iii) for open carbon frameworks (OCF) built from coronene and benzene molecules with surface areas 6500 m2 g-1, we find an impressive excess adsorption of 75–110 g H2/kg C at 77 K, and high storage capacity of 110–150 g H2/kg C at 77 K and 100 bar; (iv) the new OCF, if synthesized and optimized, could lead to required hydrogen storage capacity for mobile applications.…”

In vitro ischemia suppresses hypoxic induction of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α by inhibition of synthesis and not enhanced degradation by Sleiman, Sama F.

“…We validated the use of a reporter containing the oxygen-dependent degradation domain of HIF-1α fused to firefly luciferase (ODD-luc) to monitor quantitatively distinct biochemical events leading to hypoxic HIF-1α expression or stabilization in a human neuroblastoma cell line (SH-SY5Y). When OGD was imposed following a 2-hr hypoxic stabilization of ODD-luc, the levels of the reporter were reduced, consistent with prior models proposing that OGD enhances HIF prolylhydroxylase (PHD) activity. …”
