Greensporone A, a Fungal Secondary Metabolite Suppressed Constitutively Activated AKT via ROS Generation and Induced Apoptosis in Leukemic Cell Lines by Kirti Prabhu (3520064)

“…Interestingly, gene silencing of AKT using AKT specific siRNA suppressed the expression of Bcl-2 with enhanced expression of Bax. Greensporone A-mediated increase in Bax/Bcl-2 ratio causes permeabilization of the mitochondrial membrane leading to the accumulation of cytochrome c in the cytoplasm. …”

Experimental investigations on the performance of a thermo-mechanical refrigeration system utilizing ultra-low temperature waste heat sources by Ahmad K., Sleiti

“…The results reveal that the ECU-based TMR system can work with ultra-low temperatures of 65 °C with an energy efficiency of 5.92 % and COP of 2.36, for the ORC and VCC, respectively. At a heat source temperature of 85 °C, a condenser water temperature of 15 °C, and an evaporator water temperature of 33 °C, the energy efficiency of the ORC and COP of the VCC are increased to 9.85 % and 3.99, respectively. …”

Diagnosing type 2 diabetes using Hemoglobin A1c: a systematic review and meta-analysis of the diagnostic cutpoint based on microvascular complications by Alexandra E. Butler (6189536)

“…</p><h3>Conclusions</h3><p dir="ltr">The prevalence of nephropathy and moderate retinopathy was increased in subjects with HbA1c values ≥ 6.5% confirming the high specificity of this value for diagnosing T2DM; however, at HbA1c < 6.5% retinopathy increased at age > 55 years and, most strikingly, in African-Americans, suggesting there may be excess microvascular complication prevalence (particularly nephropathy) in individuals below the diabetes diagnostic threshold.…”

Long-Haul Northeast Travel Disrupts Sleep and Induces Perceived Fatigue in Endurance Athletes by Christopher J. Stevens (3391547)

“…There was also a likely increase in self-reported fatigue upon waking after the first night in the new destination (1.1 ± 1.6 AU; 0.54; ±0.41) and there were three athletes (25%) who developed symptoms of illness 3–5 days after arrival. …”

Alternative fuels’ blending model to facilitate the implementation of carbon offsetting and reduction Scheme for International Aviation by Ridab Khalifa (17545731)

“…The model considered the reclaiming possibility of offsetting costs when a CORSIA's eligible fuel is utilised. The results demonstrated that an increase in carbon price increases the total net cost of fuel purchasing and carbon taxing, therefore, enhancing the opportunity for airlines to integrate larger shares of alternative fuels. …”

Revisiting high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in cardiovascular disease: Is too much of a good thing always a good thing? by Mohammad Al Zein (20090700)

Deficiency in the endocytic adaptor proteins PHETA1/2 impair renal and craniofacial development by Kristin M. Ates (18949450)

“…In addition, pheta1/2 mutant animals exhibited reduced jaw size and delayed chondrocyte differentiation, indicating a role in craniofacial development. Deficiency of pheta1/2 resulted in dysregulation of cathepsin K, which led to an increased abundance of type II collagen in craniofacial cartilages, a marker of immature cartilage extracellular matrix. …”

G9a-mediated repression of CDH10 in hypoxia enhances breast tumour cell motility and associates with poor survival outcome by Francesco Casciello (18557613)

“…CDH10 overexpression significantly reduces cellular movements in breast cancer cell lines and prevents the hypoxia-mediated increase in cell motility. In addition, we show that CDH10 expression is prognostic in breast cancer and that it is inversely correlated to EHMT2 (G9a) transcript levels in many tumor-types, including breast cancer.…”
