Changes in expression of Kv7.5 and Kv7.2 channels in dorsal root ganglion neurons in the streptozotocin rat model of painful diabetic neuropathy by Laiche, Djouhri

“…We found 35 days post-STZ: (1) a significant decrease in Kv7.5-immunoreactivity in small (<30 μm) DRG neurons (both IB4 positive and IB4 negative) and medium-sized (30−40 μm) neurons, and (2) a significant increase in Kv7.2-immunoreactivity in small (<30 μm) neurons, and a non-significant increase in medium/large neurons. …”

Effect of BPA on CYP450s expression, and nicotine modulation, in fetal rat brain by Mohammad H., Merii

“…Fetal brains were isolated at gestational days GD14 and GD19, and protein expression was assessed by Western blotting. Results showed a BPA-induced significant decrease in CYP1B1 expression levels at GD14 (p = 0.001), and CYP19A1 (aromatase) expression at both mid- and late-stage development (p < 0.001). …”

Electronic vs Ionic limitations to electrochemical performance in Li4Ti5O12-based organic suspensions for lithium-redox flow batteries by Madec, L.

“…The electronic limitations are strongly dependent on the extent of percolation of KB which is influenced by the LTO/KB ratio and cell dimensions. Above a critical thickness in the 0.5-1 mm range, depending on the LTO content, the rate performance are significantly decreased. …”

Phase change materials for thermal energy storage applications in greenhouses: A review by Nishad S.

“…In addition, the PCMs kept inside the greenhouses are capable of providing passive cooling by the absorption of excess solar energy diurnally and passive nocturnal heating by releasing the stored heat. Various systems integrated with PCMs provide a diurnal temperature decrease up to 7 �C and nocturnal temperature increase up to 9 �C compared to the ambient temperature and can cover up to 30% of the greenhouse heating demand. …”
