Oxidative stress response: a proteomic view [PDF]
The oxidative stress response is characterized by various effects on a range of biologic molecules. When examined at the protein level, both expression levels and protein modifications are altered by oxidative stress. While these effects have been studied in the past by classic biochemical methods, the recent onset of proteomics methods has allowed the

Electrically conductive thermal control coatings [PDF]
A coating characterized by low thermal absorption, high thermal emittance and high electrical conductivity comprises: (1) a fired oxide pigment comprising a minor amount of aluminum oxide and a major amount of zinc oxide; (2) sufficient water to provide ...

Growth of Epitaxial Oxide Thin Films on Graphene [PDF]
The transfer process of graphene onto the surface of oxide substrates is well known. However, for many devices, we require high quality oxide thin films on the surface of graphene. This step is not understood.

Social context prevents heat hormetic effects against mutagens during fish development
This study shows that sublethal heat stress protects fish embryos against ultraviolet radiation, a concept known as ‘hormesis’. However, chemical stress transmission between fish embryos negates this protective effect. By providing evidence for the mechanistic molecular basis of heat stress hormesis and interindividual stress communication, this study ...

Structural characterization of the scale formed on a Ti–46Al–8Nb alloy oxidised in air at 700 C [PDF]
The structures of the oxide scale formed on a lamellar (gþ a2) Ti46Al8Nb alloy after heat-treatment in air at 700 C for 50 and 1000 h have been compared.

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) accounts for half of the heart failure cases. It is characterised by microvascular dysfunction, associated with reduced pericyte coverage and diminished STAT3 expression in pericytes. Loss of STAT3 impairs pericyte adhesion, promotes senescence, and activates a pro‐fibrotic gene program.

Real-time observation of oxidation and photo-oxidation of rubrene thin films by spectroscopic ellipsometry [PDF]
We follow in real-time and under controlled conditions the oxidation of the organic semiconductor rubrene grown on SiO_2 using spectroscopic ellipsometry. We derive the complex dielectric function epsilon_1 + i epsilon_2 for pristine and oxidized rubrene showing that the oxidation is accompanied by a significant change of the optical properties, namely

Shot-Peening of Pre-Oxidized Plates of Zirconium: Influence of Residual Stress on Oxidation [PDF]
The present study deals with oxidation behavior under residual stress of shot-peened plates of "commercially pure" zirconium exposed for 30 min at 650 C. The influence of the shot-peening on a pre-oxidized material is presented. The results have been used to determine the influences of these chemical (preoxidation) and mechanical (shot-peening ...

Transition of amorphous to crystalline oxide film in initial oxide overgrowth on liquid metals [PDF]
It is important to understand the mechanism of oxidation in the initial stage on the free surface of liquid metals. Mittemeijer and co-workers recently developed a thermodynamic model to study the oxide overgrowth on a solid metal surface.

Decoding the dual role of autophagy in cancer through transcriptional and epigenetic regulation
Transcriptional and epigenetic regulation controls autophagy, which exerts context‐dependent effects on cancer: Autophagy suppresses tumorigenesis by maintaining cellular homeostasis or promotes tumor progression by supporting survival under stress. In this “In a Nutshell” article, we explore the intricate mechanisms of the dual function of autophagy ...
