Co-doped zigzag graphene nanoribbon based gas sensor for sensitive detection of H2S: DFT study by Salih, Ehab

“…For the case of H2S/Cu/Zn-ZGNR, the adsorption energy (Eads) and charge transfer (Δq) reflected an outstanding increase to −7.043 eV and −0.311 e, respectively, when compared with both pristine and doped systems: ZGNR, Zn-ZGNR, and Cu-ZGNR. Moreover, the adsorption distance (D) between H2S and Cu/Zn-ZGNR decreased remarkably to 2.23 Å and an S–Cu bond was generated. …”

Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) promotes survival of lymphoma cells via activation of WNT/B-catenin and AKT/GSK3B proliferative signaling by Chung, Jihyun

“…We show that PRMT5 stimulates WNT/B-CATENIN signaling through direct epigenetic silencing of pathway antagonists, AXIN2 and WIF1, and indirect activation of AKT/GSK3 signaling.PRMT5 inhibition with either shRNA-mediated knockdown or a specific small molecule PRMT5 inhibitor, CMP-5, not only leads to derepression of WNT antagonists and decreased levels of active phospho-AKT (Thr-450 and Ser-473) and inactive phospho- GSK3B (Ser-9) but also results in decreased transcription of WNT/B-CATENIN target genes, CYCLIN D1, c-MYC, and SURVIVIN, and enhanced lymphoma cell death. …”

Structural evaluation, preliminary in vitro stability and electrochemical behavior of apatite coatings on Ti6Al4V substrates by Yaser E. Greish

“…Results showed the formation of an amorphous apatite layer onto the alloy, that was further shown to partially crystallize upon heat treatment. As a result of SBF treatment, the apatite layer was found to remodel through a dissolution-precipitation mechanism due to its amorphous and non-stoichiometric nature, forming a smooth layer with better homogeneity and decreased surface roughness. …”
