There is increasing evidence that androgens play a significant role in the development and progression of breast cancer. 5alpha-Reductase (SRD5A2) is an enzyme that is expressed in androgen-dependent tissues, and it catalyzes the reduction of testosterone to its more bioactive form, dihydrotestosterone, which then transactivates a number of genes. One of these genes encodes for prostate-specifi...

Cross contamination of intramyocellular lipid (IMCL) signals through loss of bulk magnetic susceptibility (BMS) differences was detected in human muscles using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging ((1)H-MRSI) at 4 T by varying nominal voxel sizes on healthy subjects. In soleus muscle the IMCL content estimated in 1.00-ml-sized voxels was 15% and 30% higher than that in 0.25-ml voxels...

In ancient t imes, wax seals impressed with signet r ings were aff ixed to documents as evidence of their authent ic i ty . A digi ta l counterpart is a message authent icat ion code f ixed f i rmly to each important document. We sketch an archite cture that accompl ishes this by using encapsulat ion of content with provenance metadata, cryptographic seal ing, and webs of t rust rooted in respe...

Tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.) are the most cultivated and consumed vegetable species in world deserve special attention due to their nutritional functional value. The aim of this study was assess value organically grown tomatoes greenhouses, at different maturity phases. Five hybrids were studied: Antalya F1, Cemile Lorely Tiger F1 Sacher F1. observed parameters each harvest phase were: Co...
