Here, we propose a method to prepare sustainable carbon fiber reinforced composites with different degrees of greenness by blending environmentally friendly EIA with DGEBA in different ratios, and the properties compared with a well-known commercial petroleum-based epoxy resin.

Hepatocyte-specific HDAC3 ablation promotes hepatocellular carcinoma in females by suppressing Foxa1/2.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common primary liver cancer, prevails mainly in males and has long been attributed to androgens and higher circumstantial levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) produced by resident hepatic macrophages.

Methods: Constitutively hepatocyte-specific histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3)-deficient (HDAC3) mice and constitutively hepatocyte-specific HDAC3 knockout and systemic IL-6 simultaneously ablated (HDAC3& IL-6) mice were used in our study to explore the causes of sex differences in HCC. Additionally, we performed human HCC tissues with an IHC score.

Synchronous Improvement of Mechanical and Damping Properties of Structural Damping Composites with Polyetherimide Non-Woven Fabric Interlayers Loaded with Polydopamine and Carbon Nanotubes.

Structural damping composites exhibit considerable potential in aerospace and other fields due to their excellent damping and vibration reduction performance, as well as their structural carrying capacity. However, conventional structural damping composite materials generally do not combine excellent mechanical and damping properties at the same time, which makes it difficult for them to meet the practical demand in engineering. In this paper, polyetherimide (PEI) non-woven fabric interlayer materials loaded with quantified polydopamine (PDA) and carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-COOH) were used to prepare carbon fiber-reinforced bismaleimide composites through the co-curing process.

Here, we develop heterogeneous compositional distributions in polycrystalline LiNiMnCoO (NMC) particles to investigate the interplay between local stoichiometry and charge distribution.

Loss of Numb promotes hepatic progenitor expansion and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma by enhancing Notch signaling.

Numb, a stem cell fate determinant, acts as a tumor suppressor and is closely related to a wide variety of malignancies. Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) originates from hepatic progenitors (HPCs); however, the role of Numb in HPC malignant transformation and iCCA development is still unclear. A retrospective cohort study indicated that Numb was frequently decreased in tumor tissues and suggests poor prognosis in iCCA patients.

Melanocortin 5 receptor signaling pathway in health and disease.

Melanocortin hormone system plays a key role in maintaining the homeostasis of our body via their neuro-immune-endocrine activities and regulates a diverse array of physiological functions, including melanogenesis, inflammation, immunomodulation, adrenocortical steroidogenesis, hemodynamics, natriuresis, energy homeostasis, sexual function, and exocrine secretion. The pathobiologic actions of all melanocortins are conveyed by melanocortin receptors. As the last melanocortin receptor to be cloned and characterized, melanocortin receptor 5 (MC5R) is widely expressed in both central nervous system and a number of peripheral organ systems in man.
