Soil Salinity: Historical Perspectives and a World Overview of the Problem

, 2018
Soil salinity is not a recent phenomenon, it has been reported since centuries where humanity and salinity have lived one aside the other. A good example is from Mesopotamia where the early civilizations first flourished and then failed due to human ...

Normal Saline [PDF]

AMA Journal of Ethics, 2019
In 2017, Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico and prompted a shortage of normal saline in US health care organizations. This graphic narrative considers ethics and justice in the supply, demand, and allocation of intravenous fluids in clinical settings during this time.

Loss of proton‐sensing GPR4 reduces tumor progression in mouse models of colon cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
G protein‐coupled receptor 4 (GPR4) is a pH‐sensing receptor activated by acidic pH. GPR4 expression is increased in patients with inflammatory bowel disease who are at high risk of developing colorectal cancer. In mouse models, loss of GPR4 attenuated tumor progression. This correlated with increased IL2 and natural killer cell activity.

Diurnal changes and effect of elevated CO2 on gas exchange under individual and interactive salt and water stress in wheat (Triticum aestivum)

The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2019
To evaluate the individual and interactive effects of drought and salt stress on diurnal stomatal behaviour and gas exchange parameters, two salt tolerant (Kharchia 65, KRL 210) and two salt sensitive (HD 2851, HD 2009) wheat (Triticum aestivum L ...

Tracer Measurements in Growing Sea Ice Support Convective Gravity Drainage Parameterizations [PDF]

, 2020
Gravity drainage is the dominant process redistributing solutes in growing sea ice. Modeling gravity drainage is therefore necessary to predict physical and biogeochemical variables in sea ice.

TRPM8 levels determine tumor vulnerability to channel agonists

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
TRPM8 is a Ca2+ permissive channel. Regardless of the amount of its transcript, high levels of TRPM8 protein mark different tumors, including prostate, breast, colorectal, and lung carcinomas. Targeting TRPM8 with channel agonists stimulates inward calcium currents followed by emptying of cytosolic Ca2+ stores in cancer cells.

Salinity Is a Key Determinant for Soil Microbial Communities in a Desert Ecosystem

mSystems, 2019
Belowground microorganisms are indispensable components for nutrient cycling in desert ecosystems, and understanding how they respond to increased salinity is essential for managing and ameliorating salinization.

Comparison of Biochemical, Anatomical, Morphological, and Physiological Responses to Salinity Stress in Wheat and Barley Genotypes Deferring in Salinity Tolerance

, 2020
A greenhouse hydroponic experiment was performed using salt-tolerant (cv. Suntop) and -sensitive (Sunmate) wheat cultivars and a salt-tolerant barley cv. CM72 to evaluate how cultivar and species differ in response to salinity stress. Results showed that

The anticancer effect of the HDAC inhibitor belinostat is enhanced by inhibitors of Bcl‐xL or Mcl‐1 in ovarian cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The pan‐HDAC inhibitor belinostat increases the expression of the pro‐apoptotic proteins Bim, Puma, and Noxa and induces apoptosis in ovarian cancer cell lines and patient‐derived tumor organoids when used at high concentrations. Moreover, inhibiting the anti‐apoptotic proteins Bcl‐xL or Mcl‐1 sensitizes these preclinical models to the cytotoxic effect
