Evaluation of Apoptotic, Antiproliferative, and Antimigratory Activity of Origanum syriacum against Metastatic Colon Cancer Cells by Aldisi S.S.

“…The effect of an ethanolic extract of fresh leaves of Origanum syriacum (OSEE) on the proliferative, apoptotic, and migratory capacities of LoVo and SW620 colon cancer cells was investigated. OSEE showed a concentration-dependent apoptotic and antiproliferative effect on LoVo and SW620 cells at 500 μg mL−1 or higher after 48 h of exposure. …”

Do unemployment benefits affect the choice of debt source? by Ben-Nasr, Hamdi

“…Specifically, we examine whether US unemployment insurance (UI) benefits, which reduce unemployment risk, lead to a heavy reliance on bank debt. Through difference-in-difference analysis, we find that firms in states with generous UI benefits tend to rely more on bank debt, supporting the monitoring avoidance channel. …”

Novel paclitaxel formulations solubilized by parenteral nutrition nanoemulsions for application against glioma cell lines by Najlah, Mohammad

“…The aim of this study is to investigate using nanoemulsion formulations as drug-delivery vehicles of paclitaxel (PX), a poor water-soluble anticancer drug. Two commercially available nanoemulsion fat formulations (Clinoleic 20% and Intralipid 20%) were loaded with PX and characterised based on their size, zeta potential, pH and loading efficiency. …”

Ecotoxicological Assessment of Thermally- and Hydrogen-Reduced Graphene Oxide/TiO₂ Photocatalytic Nanocomposites Using the Zebrafish Embryo Model. by Al-Kandari, Halema

“…For the RGOTi, the no observed effect concentration (NOEC, mortality/teratogenicity score <20%) and the median lethal concentration (LC) were <400 and 748.6 mg/L, respectively. H₂RGOTi showed a NOEC similar to RGOTi. However, no significant mortality was detected at all concentrations used in the acutoxicity assay (up to1000 mg/L), thus indicating a hypothetical LC higher than 1000 mg/L. …”

Effect of reinforcement concentration on the properties of hot extruded Al-Al2O3 composites synthesized through microwave sintering process by Reddya, M. Penchal

“…Results showed that, as the content of hard ceramic particles increases, it improves overall mechanical properties including microhardness, 0.2% yield strength, ultimate compression/tensile strength, and Young's modulus while the ductility and co-efficient of thermal expansion decreases. XRD patterns and SEM/EDS mapping images show a uniform distribution of Al2O3 particles in the Al matrix. …”
