Engineered Barrier System: Physical and Chemical Environment [PDF]
, 2004 The conceptual and predictive models documented in this Engineered Barrier System: Physical and Chemical Environment Model report describe the evolution of the physical and chemical conditions within the waste emplacement drifts of the repository. The modeling approaches and model output data will be used in the total system performance assessment ...

Cancers, 2022 Glioblastoma, or glioblastoma multiforme (GBM, WHO Grade IV), is a highly aggressive adult glioma. Despite extensive efforts to improve treatment, the current standard-of-care (SOC) regimen, which consists of maximal resection, radiotherapy, and temozolomide (TMZ), achieves only a 12–15 month survival.

Research advances in the structure, function, and regulation of the gill barrier in teleost fish
Water Biology and Security, 2023 The gill is an important organ in fish that is involved in various physiological functions, including respiration, filter-feeding, ammonia nitrogen excretion, and osmoregulation. The physiological functions of gills are closely related to their structure,

Physical and Chemical Barriers in the Larval Midgut Confer Developmental Resistance to Virus Infection in Drosophila [PDF]
Viruses, 2021 Insects can become lethally infected by the oral intake of a number of insect-specific viruses. Virus infection commonly occurs in larvae, given their active feeding behaviour; however, older larvae often become resistant to oral viral infections. To investigate mechanisms that contribute to resistance throughout the larval development, we orally ...

The Compromised Intestinal Barrier Induced by Mycotoxins
Toxins, 2020 Mycotoxins are fungal metabolites that occur in human foods and animal feeds, potentially threatening human and animal health. The intestine is considered as the first barrier against these external contaminants, and it consists of interconnected ...
