A new human breast cancer cell line (SUM-52PE), originating from a malignant pleural effusion specimen, that can be cultured under serum-free conditions has been isolated. Experiments were conducted to examine the relationship between expression of the erbB family of growth factor receptors and growth regulation in these cells. SUM-52PE cells are epidermal growth factor receptor negative but ex...

Oil-in-water Pickering emulsions prepared by food-grade particles have gained increasing interest on account of their potential application in the delivery system for lipophilic active compounds. In this project, hydrolyzed rice glutelin (HRG) nanoparticles were successfully fabricated inducing different concentrations ethanol. The structure, interfacial properties HRG nanoparticles, emulsion s...

We analyzed the transverse momentum spectra (pT) reported by NA61/SHINE and NA49 experiments in inelastic proton–proton (pp) central Lead–Lead (Pb?Pb), Argon–Scandium (Ar?Sc), Beryllium–Beryllium (Be?Be) collisions with Blast-wave model Boltzmann–Gibbs (BWBG) statistics. The BGBW was good agreement experimental data. were able to extract flow velocity (?T), kinetic freeze-out temperature (T0), ...

Heteromerization can play an important role in regulating the activation and/or signal transduction of most forms of receptors, including receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). The study of receptor heteromerization has evolved extensively with the emergence of resonance energy transfer based approaches such as bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET). Here, we report an adaptation of our Re...

Streptococcus pyogenes is one of the most significant bacterial pathogens in the human population mostly causing superficial and uncomplicated infections (pharyngitis and impetigo) but also invasive and life-threatening disease. We have previously identified a virulence determinant, protein sHIP, which is secreted at higher levels by an invasive compared to a non-invasive strain of S. pyogenes....
