Viscous terahertz photoconductivity of hydrodynamic electrons in graphene.

Light incident upon materials can induce changes in their electrical conductivity, a phenomenon referred to as photoresistance. In semiconductors, the photoresistance is negative, as light-induced promotion of electrons across the bandgap enhances the number of charge carriers participating in transport. In superconductors and normal metals, the photoresistance is positive because of the destruction of the superconducting state and enhanced momentum-relaxing scattering, respectively.

The Level of Markers Stimulating Growth Factor 2 (ST2), N-Terminal Prohormone of Brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP), and D-Dimer in Healthy Volunteer Testers in 21-Day Head-Down -6° Tilt Bed Rest as a Model of Hypodynamia.

The paper presents an analysis of the proteomic composition in relation to both the risk of thrombosis and changes in the state of cardiomyocytes associated with the risk of cardiac fibrosis and heart failure. We examined 12 practically healthy male volunteers exposed to head-down -6° tilt bed rest (HDBR) for 21 days. The revealed decrease in the level of stimulating growth factor 2 (ST2) on days 10 and 21 relative to the initial values (background; 5 days before HDBR) indicated a decrease in the myocardial load and cardiomyocyte extensibility.

Component Composition and Features of Biological Activity of Viscum album (Viscaceae).

The review summarizes the data on the chemical composition and some features of biological activity of the European mistletoe Viscum album L. (Viscaceae Batsch). Among secondary metabolites, viscotoxins, lectins, carbohydrates, amino acids, flavonoids, triterpene acids, and nitrogenous compounds predominate in V.

Contemporary Approaches to Immunotherapy of Solid Tumors.

In recent years, the arrival of the immunotherapy industry has introduced the possibility of providing transformative, durable, and potentially curative outcomes for various forms of malignancies. However, further research has shown that there are a number of issues that significantly reduce the effectiveness of immunotherapy, especially in solid tumors. First of all, these problems are related to the protective mechanisms of the tumor and its microenvironment.
