Preparation and characterization of nano composites from metal oxides and activated carbon from banana peel (MO@BPAC, MO=NiO, CuO and ZnO) for 2 nitrophenol removal from aqueous solutions.

In this research, activated carbon from banana peel (BPAC) was prepared by calcination (600 °C) method. Nano composites MO@BPAC (MO=NiO, CuO and ZnO) were prepared and then were characterized by XRD, FTIR, FESM, EDX, BETand TGA methods. Formation of MO@BPAC nanocomposites was confirmed by analysis methods.

Telomerase and mitochondria inhibition promote apoptosis and TET2 and ANMT3a expression in triple negative breast cancer cell lines.

Introduction: High metastasis, resistance to common treatments, and high mortality rate, has made triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) to be the most invasive type of breast cancer. High telomerase activity and mitochondrial biogenesis are involved in breast cancer tumorigenesis. The catalytic subunit of telomerase, telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT), plays a role in telomere lengthening and extra-biological functions such as gene expression, mitochondria function, and apoptosis.

CAR-NK cell therapy in AML: Current treatment, challenges, and advantage.

Over the last decade, discovery of novel therapeutic method has been attention by the researchers and has changed the therapeutic perspective of hematological malignancies. Although NK cell play a pivotal role in the elimination of abnormal and cancerous cells, there are evidence that NK cell are disarm in hematological malignancy. Chimeric antigen receptor NK (CAR-NK) cell therapy, which includes the engineering of NK cells to detect tumor-specific antigens and, as a result, clear of cancerous cells, has created various clinical advantage for several human malignancies treatment.

The Effect of Tumor Resection and Radiotherapy on the Expression of Stem Cell Markers (CD44 and CD133) in Patients with Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinomas (HNSCCs) are heterogeneous malignancies that comprise 90% of the head and neck cancers. HNSCCs originate from the mucosal lining epithelium of the upper aerodigestive tract. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) that generate HNSCCs with the CD44, CD133, and ALDH phenotype and are resistant to radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
