Abstract Background Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common primary brain tumor in adults, with a median survival of approximately 15 months.Semaphorin 3A (Sema3A), known for its axon guidance and antiangiogenic properties, has been implicated in GBM growth.We hypothesized that Sema3A directly inhibits brain tumor stem cell (BTSC) prolifer
We provide an overview of transient extensional rheometry techniques for wheat flour doughs in which the deformation and material response is well defined.The behavior of a range of model doughs was explored with a Filament Stretching Extensional Rheometer (FISER).The measurements were also compared to data obtained with a new wind- up extensional
Abstract Tamper Objective Redox homeostasis maintenance is essential to bring about cellular functions.Particularly, embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have high fidelity mechanisms for DNA repair, high activity of different antioxidant enzymes and low levels of oxidative stress.Although the expression and activity of antioxidant enzymes are reduced throu
The gas metal arc welding (GMAW) process was used to weld 3003-H14 plates under restricted and unrestricted thermal expansion.Experimental and numerical analysis were conducted to determine the relation between weld thermal cycles and residual stresses.A customized data acquisition system with K-type thermocouples was used to measure the weld therm
Even though natural phenomena do not abide to borders, Finland has traditionally been considered an alkali-silica reaction (ASR) free country.This is due to Winterizing Products exceptional quality of the mostly course crystalline igneous rocks.However, during the last few years dozens of cases of ASR have been reported.The scope of this study was
