Effect of AC interference on failure mechanism of zinc-rich epoxy coatings in alkaline environment

Materials Research Express, 2022
In this paper, the failure mechanism of Zn-rich epoxy coating under the AC interference in alkaline environment was revealed based on EIS tests. Using X80 steel as matrix, the coated X80 sample was formed by hand-brushing coating with the thickness of 25

Inhibiting stearoyl‐CoA desaturase suppresses bone metastatic prostate cancer by modulating cellular stress, mTOR signaling, and DNA damage response

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Bone metastasis in prostate cancer (PCa) patients is a clinical hurdle due to the poor understanding of the supportive bone microenvironment. Here, we identify stearoyl‐CoA desaturase (SCD) as a tumor‐promoting enzyme and potential therapeutic target in bone metastatic PCa.

Next‐generation proteomics improves lung cancer risk prediction

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This is one of very few studies that used prediagnostic blood samples from participants of two large population‐based cohorts. We identified, evaluated, and validated an innovative protein marker model that outperformed an established risk prediction model and criteria employed by low‐dose computed tomography in lung cancer screening trials.
