Colorectal cancer‐derived FGF19 is a metabolically active serum biomarker that exerts enteroendocrine effects on mouse liver

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Meta‐transcriptome analysis identified FGF19 as a peptide enteroendocrine hormone associated with colorectal cancer prognosis. In vivo xenograft models showed release of FGF19 into the blood at levels that correlated with tumor volumes. Tumoral‐FGF19 altered murine liver metabolism through FGFR4, thereby reducing bile acid synthesis and increasing ...

Effect of biomass compression on the fiber characteristics and bending properties of medium-density fiberboard from oil palm residues

Journal of Wood Science
To address the declining availability of rubberwood in Southeast Asia, we explored the use of oil palm residues—oil palm trunk (OPT), frond (OPF), and empty fruit bunch (EFB)—as alternative raw materials for the production of medium-density fiberboard ...

Housing market spillovers : evidence from an estimated DSGE model [PDF]

We study sources and consequences of fluctuations in the housing market. The upward trend in real housing prices of the last 40 years can be explained by slow technological progress in the housing sector.

Identification of serum protein biomarkers for pre‐cancerous lesions associated with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This work identified serum proteins associated with pancreatic epithelial neoplasms (PanINs) and early‐stage PDAC. Proteomics screens assessed genetically engineered mice with abundant PanINs, KPC mice (Lox‐STOP‐Lox‐KrasG12D/+ Lox‐STOP‐Lox‐Trp53R172H/+ Pdx1‐Cre) before PDAC development and also early‐stage PDAC patients (n = 31), compared to benign ...

Valorization of calcined Egyptian marble waste as a reactive CaO additive for fortifying alkali-activated slag cement

Journal of Engineering and Applied Science
Egypt’s thriving marble industry produces extensive waste marble powder (WMP) amounts. Recycling plentiful waste safely and effectively is a key national concern, as improper disposal poses a serious threat to the environment.

Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 increases metastatic potential and aggressiveness in colorectal cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a cancer stem cell marker in several malignancies. We established a novel epithelial cell line from rectal adenocarcinoma with unique overexpression of this enzyme. Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 led to increased invasive capacity and metastatic potential, the inhibition of proliferation activity, and ultimately ...

Analysis of retrofit air source heat pump performance : results from detailed simulations and comparison to field trial data [PDF]

, 2011
In the UK, gas boilers are the predominant energy source for heating in housing, due primarily to the ready availability of natural gas. The take-up of heat pumps has lagged far behind Europe and North America.
