The contribution of autophagy in glioblastoma multiforme cells treated with human recombinant arginase I-induced arginine deprivation. (c2018) by El Jbeily, Elie

“…Furthermore, the contribution of autophagy to arginine depletion-induced cytotoxicity in GBM cells was tested by incubating SF and U87 cells with either HuArgI (Co)-PEG5000 alone and in combination with an autophagy inhibitor (chloroquine or 3- methyladenine) at different time points. Cell death decreased when autophagy was inhibited in SF cells at late time points, thus proving its role in arginine depletion induced cell death. …”

Why do some countries produce more capital intensive output than others? by Toukan, Amjad

“…Based on my model I offer an explanation for the variation in physical capital intensity across countries where the model predictions show that a lower quality of governance in a country results in a decrease in the output of capital-intensive goods and an increase in the output of labor-intensive goods. …”
