Rhus coriaria induces senescence and autophagic cell death in breast cancer cells through a mechanism involving p38 and ERK1/2 activation by El Hasasna, Hussain

“…RCE was also found to activate p38 and ERK1/2 signaling pathways which coincided with induction of autophagy. Furthermore, we found that while both autophagy inhibitors abolished p38 phosphorylation, only CQ led to significant decrease in pERK1/2. …”

Mixed Solid Municipal Waste-Based Biochar for Soil Fertility and Greenhouse Gas Mitigation by Bansode, Rishipal

“…These applications give solid organic municipal wastes promising potential as precursors for value-added biochars with varied physicochemical characteristics allowing them to be used not only as an alternative to bio-waste management and greenhouse gas mitigation but also as means to improve depleted soil. We hypothesize that soil deficiencies in soil can be remedied by the application of biochars that are custom-designed to possess the right physicochemical characteristics suitable to improve soil fertility. …”

Cutaneous Aβ-Non-nociceptive, but Not C-Nociceptive, Dorsal Root Ganglion Neurons Exhibit Spontaneous Activity in the Streptozotocin Rat Model of Painful Diabetic Neuropathy . by Djouhri, Laiche

“…Compared with control, we found in STZ-rats with established pain hypersensitivity (5 weeks post-STZ) several significant changes including: (a) A 23% increase in the incidence of spontaneous activity (SA) in Aβ-LTMs (but not C-mechanosensitive nociceptors) that may cause dysesthesias/paresthesia suffered by DPNP patients, (b) membrane hyperpolarization and a ∼85% reduction in SA rate in Aβ-LTMs by K7 channel activation with retigabine (6 mg/kg, i.v.) suggesting that K7/M channels may be involved in mechanisms of SA generation in Aβ-LTMs, (c) decreases in AP duration and in duration and amplitude of afterhyperpolarization (AHP) in C-and/or Aβ-nociceptors. …”

Nanoclay compatibilization of phase separated polysulfone/polyimide films for oxygen barrier by Ammar, Ali

“…Addition of as little as 1 mass% of organoclay strongly compatibilized the blend phases at all compositions, reducing the scale of blend phase separation by ~ 5 10 times, and interestingly, the net discreet surface phase separated domain area converged to that observed in 50% blend composition for other off-symmetric blend compositions. …”
