OBJECTIVES/GOALS: This project will provide novel insights into mechanism(s) by which differences in inflammation develop & resolve, or fail to resolve, in metabolically different groups of bariatric surgery patients determined by Type 2 Diabetes status.My work may uncover unique differences between cohorts, encouraging development of personalized
MCM2 Expression in Different Molecular Subtypes of Epithelial Breast Cancers and its Association with Clinicopathological Parameters and Ki-67 Expression
Introduction: Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies, with few subtypes having a more aggressive outcome and resistance to conventional therapies, Triple Negative Breast Cancers (TNBCs) being one such variant.The Ki-67 lacks reproducibility and a standardised cut-off.MCM2 (Minichromosome Maintenance 2) has role in DNA repair and repli
A notodontid novelty: Theroa zethus caterpillars use behavior and anti-predator weaponry to disarm host plants.
Unlike most notodontids, Theroa zethus larvae feed on plants that emit copious latex when damaged.To determine how the larvae overcome this defense, we filmed final instars on poinsettia, Euphorbia pulcherrima, then simulated their behaviors and tested how the behaviors individually and combined affect latex exudation.Larvae initially scraped the s
Prediction of pollution flashover voltages of ceramic string insulators under uniform and non-uniform pollution conditions
Present paper te01-4147c emphasizes on the development of a new mathematical model to estimate the contamination flashover voltages of ceramic string insulators under varying uniform and non-uniform pollution conditions subjected to AC voltages.The proposed model is developed based on dimensional analysis of the factors which commonly influence the
