Stylolite fractal characteristics and the influence of stylolite on strength of limestone

工程科学学报, 2017
To study the fractal characteristics of stylolite and its influence on the strength of limestone, the fractal dimension of horizontal stylolite and vertical stylolite was analyzed using the power spectral density method and the digital image box ...

An in silico analysis identifies drugs potentially modulating the cytokine storm triggered by SARS-CoV-2 infection

Scientific Reports, 2022
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is one of the biggest health challenges of recent decades. Among the causes of mortality triggered by SARS-CoV-2 infection, the development of an inflammatory “cytokine storm” (CS) plays a determinant role.

Cancer-related inflammation, the seventh hallmark of cancer: links to genetic instability.

Carcinogenesis, 2009
Inflammatory conditions in selected organs increase the risk of cancer. An inflammatory component is present also in the microenvironment of tumors that are not epidemiologically related to inflammation.

The intracellular domain of TLR2 is capable of high‐affinity Zn binding: possible outcomes for the receptor activation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Toll‐like receptors (TLRs) are important in the innate immune system. This study explores the zinc‐binding ability of the TLR2 TIR domain (TLR2TIR). We found that TLR2TIR binds zinc with nanomolar affinity through its cysteine residues. Two of them, C673 and C713, are vital for receptor activation, indicating that zinc may play a role in initiating ...

Disruption of the β-catenin destruction complex via Ephexin1-Axin1 interaction promotes colorectal cancer proliferation

Experimental and Molecular Medicine
Wnt signaling is essential for cell growth and tumor formation and is abnormally activated in colorectal cancer (CRC), contributing to tumor progression; however, the specific role and regulatory mechanisms involved in tumor development remain unclear ...

A prediction model for surface deformation caused by underground mining based on spatio-temporal associations

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2022
Accurate predictions of the surface deformation caused by underground mining are crucial for the safe development of underground resources. Although surface deformation has been predicted by artificial intelligence (AI) methods, most AI models are ...
