Dissecting the signaling pathways regulating the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in brain tumor cells. (c2017) by Nicolas, Samer Michel

“…Moreover, when the astrocytoma cells were subjected to hypoxia at different times, we detected a significant increase in pERK. So, in order to confirm that the MAPK pathway is involved in VEGF expression, we added the MAPK inhibitor U0126 to these cells. …”

DNAJB3/HSP-40 cochaperone improves insulin signaling and enhances glucose uptake in vitro through JNK repression by Mohamed Abu-Farha (25322)

“…Furthermore, DNAJB3 mediated the PI3K/AKT pathway activation through increasing AKT and AS160 phosphorylation. …”

Synergistic Effect of Epigenetic Inhibitors Decitabine and Suberoylanilide Hydroxamic Acid on Colorectal Cancer In vitro by Najem, Sonia A.

“…Furthermore, the combination therapy upregulates protein expression levels of pro-apoptotic proteins Bax, p53 and cytochrome c, downregulates the expression of antiapoptotic Bcl-2 protein and increases the cleavage of procaspases 8 and 9; this suggests that the combination activates apoptosis via both the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways. …”

Physiological and pharmacological stimulation for in vitro maturation of substrate metabolism in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes by Colleen A. Lopez (18520071)

“…FAO was stimulated by activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα), using oleate and the agonist WY-14643, which induced an increase in FAO in monolayer hiPSC-CMs. hiPSC-CMs grown in 3D on collagen-derived scaffolds showed reduced glycolysis and increased FAO compared with monolayer cells. …”

Estimating the permeability of fractured rock masses for design of construction dewatering systems by Hisham T. Eid (16500703)

“…Back-calculated permeabilities can be up to five orders of magnitude larger than the measured values. Such discrepancy increases with increasing permeability of rock mass. …”

Seizure-like behavior and hyperactivity in <i>napb</i> knockout zebrafish as a model for autism and epilepsy by Kyung Chul Shin (13913556)

“…We observed that napb crispants (CR) show shorter motor neuron axons length together with altered locomotion behavior, including significant increases in larvae total distance traveled, swimming velocity, and rotation frequency, indicating that these behavioral changes effectively mimic the human epileptic phenotype. …”

The distribution of toxic sources in Louisiana by Djoundourian, Salpie Sarkis

“…The results reveal that income levels in communities that host toxic sources are consistently and significantly lower than the state averages. A distance gradient analysis indicates that as distance from the nearest toxic source increases, the mean percentage of blacks in the community decreases and the mean percentage of whites increases. …”

Impact of timing and severity of COVID-19 infection in pregnancy on intrauterine fetal growth- a registry-based study from Doha-Qatar by Fathima Minisha (16475100)

“…<h3>Background</h3> <p>The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has impacted pregnant women, increasing maternal and neonatal morbidity. The placenta is a potential target for the pathophysiological processes due to the increased thrombotic inflammatory activation and inadequate uteroplacental perfusion and oxygenation, potentially causing intrauterine growth restriction. …”

Long-Chain Acyl-CoA Synthetase 1 Role in Sepsis and Immunity: Perspectives From a Parallel Review of Public Transcriptome Datasets and of the Literature by Jessica Roelands (7516439)

“…Inferences drawn from both the literature (via indirect associations) and public transcriptome data (via correlation) point to the likely participation of ACSL1 and ACSL4, another family member, in inflammasome activation in neutrophils during sepsis. Furthermore, available clinical data indicate that levels of ACSL1 and ACSL4 induction was significantly higher in fatal cases of sepsis. …”

Sanguinarine mediated apoptosis in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer via generation of reactive oxygen species and suppression of JAK/STAT pathway by Kirti.S. Prabhu (17191231)
