Caudatin Inhibits the Proliferation, Invasion, and Glycolysis of Osteosarcoma Cells via the Wnt/- Catenin Pathway.

Background: Caudatin is a steroidal glycoside with reported anticancer activity in a variety of studies. Nevertheless, the role and mechanisms of caudatin in osteosarcoma (OS) remain unclear. In this study, we explored the potential anticancer effects of caudatin in OS cells and investigated the underlying mechanisms.

Five-year observation of aerosol optical properties and its radiative effects to planetary boundary layer during air pollution episodes in North China: Intercomparison of a plain site and a mountainous site in Beijing.

The aerosol microphysical, optical and radiative properties of the whole column and upper planetary boundary layer (PBL) were investigated during 2013 to 2018 based on long-term sun-photometer observations at a surface site (~106 m a.s.l.

Spatial and temporal distribution of the cloud optical depth over China based on MODIS satellite data during 2003-2016.

The cloud optical depth (COD) is one of the important parameters used to characterize atmospheric clouds. We analyzed the seasonal variations in the COD over East Asia in 2011 using cloud mode data from the AERONET (Aerosol Robotic Network) ground-based observational network. The applicability of the MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) COD product was verified and compared with the AERONET cloud mode dataset.
