The tumor suppressor protein p53 plays a central role in the multiple response pathways activated by DNA damage. In particular, p53 is involved in both the pro-survival response of cell cycle arrest and DNA repair, and the pro-death response of apoptosis. How does the p53 network coordinate the different pathways that lead to the opposite cell fates and what is its strategy in making the life-d...

Aiming at the mine safety problem, this paper proposes a gas concentration monitoring system design scheme based on ZigBee Pro. The scheme designs a set of ZigBee Pro wireless network combined software with hardware based on KGS-20 gas sensor and CC2530 chip as the controller core. According to the fuzzy reasoning technology and multi-factors information fusion technology, a new method for the ...

Morphea is an inflammatory skin disease resulting in sclerosis of underlying tissues which causes functional limitations and cosmetic sequalae that negatively impact quality life. Previous health-related life (HRQoL) patient reported outcome (PRO) studies have focused on children a validated measure, the Localized Scleroderma Quality Life Instrument (LoSQI), has been developed. No PRO measure e...

Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) is one of the most widely used turfgrasses for home lawns, golf courses, parks, and athletic fields in temperate climates. Oxidative stress caused by drought stress is a major limiting factor for grass cultivation in arid and semi-arid regions. The objective of this study was to investigate whether Prohexadione-Calcium (Pro-Ca) may play a role in promoting ...
