PARP inhibitors induce a senescence phenotype in non‐small cell lung carcinoma cell lines

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Talazoparib is the most potent inducer of senescence among different PARP1 inhibitors in human NSCLC cells. In the absence of PARP, no senescence phenotype was observed, demonstrating that PARP1 is necessary for the induction of senescence by this inhibitor.

Fundamentals of wettability applied to Brazilian Pre-Salt reservoirs and wettability alteration evaluation in low salinity water injection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Brazilian Pre-Salt carbonate reservoirs have been one of the greatest oil discoveries of the past decade. In fields such as Lula, it is expected to recover between five to eight billion barrels of oil equivalent.

New Wettability Method for Sandstone using High-Salinity/Low-Salinity Water Flooding at Residual Oil Saturation

open access: yes, 2018
Numerous quantitative and qualitative methods have been presented to measure wettability. The most well-known methods are Amott-Harvey and U.S. Bureau of Mines. The Amott method describes how the wetting phase displaces the nonwetting phase spontaneously;

Role of Monovalent and Divalent Ions in Low-Salinity Water Flood in Carbonate Reservoirs: An Integrated Analysis through Zeta Potentiometric and Simulation Studies

open access: yesEnergies, 2021
The presence of principal ions in the water injected is essential for enhanced oil recovery by formation of water-wet state in carbonates. This study reaffirms this and presents an evaluation of the positive influence of both divalent as wells as ...

The skills required for transition to university and study in biological sciences: A student perspective

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Bioscience students were asked for their opinions on the value and teaching of skills. 204 responded that teamwork, time management and study skills are necessary to reach University, that scientific writing, research, laboratory and presentation skills are taught effectively during their studies, while other skills are gained inherently through study ...

Wettability effects in a sandstone reservoir and outcrop cores from NMR relaxation time distributions

open access: yes, 2002
An extensive literature has emerged on the use of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxation methods for the determination of various petrophysical properties such as porosity, permeability, initial water saturation and free fluid index.

Acute caffeine treatment protects the developing retina from ischemia‐induced cell death

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Caffeine reduces cell death in the developing retina under ischemia (OGD). This effect does not involve BDNF upregulation or antioxidant pathways (NRF2/VEGF). Neuroprotection occurs mainly through adenosine A2A receptor antagonism, decreasing glutamate release and excitotoxicity, highlighting caffeine's potential as an acute neuroprotective agent in ...

Laboratory investigation of wettability and hysteresis effects on resistivity index and capillary pressure characteristics

open access: yes, 1998
This paper focuses on the experimental aspects of resistivity index and water/oil capillary pressure measurements. A novel experimental procedure using water-wet and oil-wet membranes has been developed.

Qualitative assessment of improved oil recovery and wettability alteration by low salinity water injection for heterogeneous carbonates

open access: yes, 2022
This study aims to evaluate the qualitative potential for low salinity water injection (LSWI) to alter the wettability and increase oil production in heterogeneous oil-wet coquina cores (one of the facies of Pre-Salt reservoirs) in relevant conditions of

Combined Approach to Evaluate Hydrate Slurry Transport Properties through Wetting and Flow Experiments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
[Image: see text] A condensate oil system was evaluated with respect to its hydrate properties by two experimental methods, namely, the wetting index (WI) procedure and a flow loop called the wheel flow loop.
