Titanium oxyhydroxy-fluoride, TiO0.9(OH)0.9F1.2 · 0.59H2O rods with a hexagonal tungsten bronze (HTB) structure, was synthesized via a facile one-step solvothermal method. The structure, morphology, and component of the products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetry (TG), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution...

hepcidin is an innate immune element which decreases the iron absorption from diet and iron releasing from macrophage cell. in contrast to the chemical iron chelators, there has been limited effort applied to the specific use of hepcidin as a new drug for decreasing the iron overload. hepcidin is produced in different biological systems. for instance, e-coli is used for human hepcidin expressio...

Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is a chronic progressive disease caused by Mycobacterium bovis an important zoonosis worldwide. aim this study was conduct analyses secondary database bTB-positive cases registered Federal Inspection Service tw...

objective: the objective of this study was to investigate inhibition and anti-cancer effects of linoleic acid on the mcf-7 and mda-mb-231 human breast cancer cells. materials and methods: cell lines human breast cancer mcf-7 (gdc055) and mda-mb-231 (htb-26) cell lines were obtained from atcc. mcf-7 estrogen receptor positive human breast cancer cell line and  the estrogen receptor negative huma...

If the charged Higgs boson H+ exists with mH+ < mt+mb, the conventional expectation is that it will decay dominantly into cs̄ and τντ . However, the three-body decay mode H+ → W+bb̄ is also present and we show that it becomes very important in the low tan β region for mH+ ∼ > 140 GeV. We then explore its phenomenological implications for the charged-Higgs-boson search in top-quark decay. The disc...

Recent studies have focused on metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with high hydrogen uptake1 in order to reach the 2010 DOE targets for on-board vehicular hydrogen storage.2 Strategies such as using pore sizes comparable to hydrogen molecules3 and introducing coordinatively unsaturated metal centers (UMCs)3b,c,4 have been explored. Recently, we have reported a biomimetic approach to UMCs utilizing...

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most frequent and aggressive primary malignant brain tumor PI3K/Akt signaling pathway activated in almost 90% of cases. The aim this study was to evaluate capacity natural compounds potentiate activity temozolomide (TMZ) - standard pharmacological drug for GBM. U-87 MG (ATCC HTB-14) cells were treated with quercetin, resveratrol, curcumin TMZ, alone or combination TMZ ...

Wstęp Typową strategią leczenia raka jajnika jest operacja chirurgiczna oraz podawana po niej chemioterapia wykorzystująca leki cytostatyczne, w tym cisplatynę. Niestety u większości pacjentek dochodzi do nawrotu choroby, którego głównym powodem wykształcanie przez komórki nowotworowe oporności na Z tego względu intensywnie poszukuje się nowych rozwiązań terapeutycznych, m.in. terapii skojarzon...
