AMPK Activation Attenuates Albumin-induced Alterations in Renal Tubular Cells In Vitro by Allouch, Soumaya

“…Moreover, higher concentrations of albumin, particularly 30 mg/ml, caused severe induction of ER stress and EMT, marked by 20-fold increase in CHOP and 6-fold increase in a-SMA respectively. Similarly, the phosphorylation of AKT and P70S6K (a downstream target of mTOR) was increased by more than 1.5-fold in cells subjected to albumin treatment. …”

Molecular and Structural Changes in Induced-Brain Stroke Tissue Using FTIR Imaging Spectroscopy, Scanning Electron and Atomic Force Microscopy by Ali, Mohamed H

“…Results and Discussions: The FTIR spectroscopy results indicated that the white matter is richer in lipid content than the grey matter as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The infrared spectrum images showed a decrease in the lipid content of the white matter associated with the induced stroke brain sections. …”

Electrocatalytic arsenite oxidation in bicarbonate solutions combined with CO2 reduction to formate by Wonjung, Choi

“…Sunlight-driven water-energy nexus technologies are receiving increasing attention. This study presents a hybrid electrochemical system that catalyzes the oxidation of As(III) to As(V) with a nanoparticulate TiO2 electrocatalyst (Ti/Ir1-xTaxOy/TiO2; denoted as an n-TEC) while simultaneously converting CO2 to formate on a Bi electrode in aqueous bicarbonate solutions at circum-neutral pH. …”
