Transforming Growth Factor-Beta-Regulated LncRNA-MUF Promotes Invasion by Modulating the miR-34a Snail1 Axis in Glioblastoma Multiforme

Frontiers in Oncology, 2022
Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β)-regulated long-non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) modulate several aspects of tumor development such as proliferation, invasion, metastasis, epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), and drug resistance in various cancers,

Sound Absorption Behavior Related to Reduce the Melamine-Urea-Formaldehyde (MUF) Adhesives for the Coffee Silver Skin Board Production

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2023
The development of sound-absorbing panels which used coffee-silver-skin (CS) and melamine-urea-formaldehyde (MUF) as a composite board was studied. In this experiment, the objective was to examine the impact on the sound absorption coefficient (SAC) when

Enzymatic strategies for phosphorus utilization in periphyton: A study of alkaline phosphatase kinetics in post-mining lakes. [PDF]

J Phycol
Abstract Alkaline phosphatase (AP) plays an important role in phosphorus (P) cycling in aquatic ecosystems, particularly under nutrient limitation. In post‐mining lakes of Czechia, periphyton forms extensive mats despite chronic P deficiency, suggesting dissolved organic P (DOP) may serve as a key P source.

Root Traits Predict the Soil Functional Responses of Subtropical Plant Species to Experimental Drought. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Plant species' habitat preference and drought tolerance traits were not the primary factors driving interspecific differences in soil functional responses to drought. Instead, fine root traits—particularly their chemical traits—played more critical roles in determining these variations.

Fluoride and Neurodevelopmental Hazard Modelling: An Assessment of Concentration-Response Analysis. [PDF]

Community Dent Oral Epidemiol
ABSTRACT Objectives A National Academies Consensus Study report concluded that the evidence did not support an assessment that fluoride is a neurodevelopmental hazard. However, some researchers have undertaken benchmark dose modelling to determine a safe fluoride concentration level in water.

MUF-n-Octadecane Phase-Change Microcapsules: Effects of Core pH and Core-Wall Ratio on Morphology and Thermal Properties of Microcapsules. [PDF]

Molecules
Phase change energy storage microcapsules were synthesized in situ by using melamine-formaldehyde–urea co-condensation resin (MUF) as wall material, n-octadecane (C18) as core material and styryl-maleic anhydride copolymer (SMA) as emulsifier.
