Tribological Study of Simply and Duplex-Coated CrN-X42Cr13 Tribosystems under Dry Sliding Wear and Progressive Loading Scratching

open access: yesCeramics, 2022
CrN coatings are widely used in the industry due to their excellent mechanical features and outstanding wear and corrosion resistance. Using scratch and ball-on-disk wear tests, the current study deals with the tribological characterisation of CrN ...

Looking Beyond Appearances: Synthetic Training Data for Deep CNNs in Re-identification [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Re-identification is generally carried out by encoding the appearance of a subject in terms of outfit, suggesting scenarios where people do not change their attire.

An isoform of 14‐3‐3 protein regulates transbilayer lipid movement at the plasma membrane

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Loss of 14‐3‐3ζ in CHO cells confers resistance to exogenous phosphatidylserine (PS) and impairs endocytosis‐independent inward flip‐flop of fluorescent PS at the plasma membrane. RNAi‐mediated knockdown reproduces this defect, while no additive effect is seen in ATP11C‐deficient cells.

Damage Mechanisms in AISI 304 Borided Steel: Scratch and Daimler-Benz Adhesion Tests [PDF]

open access: yesMaterials Research, 2015
In this study, damage mechanisms in the FeB/Fe2B coatings formed on the surface of AISI 304 steel are determined by adhesion tests. First, the boriding of the AISI 304 steel was carried out through the powder-pack method at 1223 K in the range from 2-10 ...

Plecstatin inhibits hepatocellular carcinoma tumorigenesis and invasion through cytolinker plectin

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The ruthenium‐based metallodrug plecstatin exerts its anticancer effect in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) primarily through selective targeting of plectin. By disrupting plectin‐mediated cytoskeletal organization, plecstatin inhibits anchorage‐dependent growth, cell polarization, and tumor cell dissemination.

Therapeutic strategies for MMAE‐resistant bladder cancer through DPP4 inhibition

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We established monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE)‐resistant bladder cancer (BC) cell lines by exposure to progressively increasing concentrations of MMAE in vitro. RNA sequencing showed DPP4 expression was increased in MMAE‐resistant BC cells. Both si‐DPP4 and the DPP4 inhibitor sitagliptin suppressed the viability of MMAE‐resistant BC cells.

Scratch hardness of diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings deposited by closed-field unbalanced magnetron sputtering

open access: yesAIP Advances
Thin coatings are subject to scratch and wear damage in tribological applications. Scratch hardness numbers are used to evaluate scratch and abrasive wear resistance.

Dermatographism with vulvar symptoms

open access: yesInternational Journal of Women's Dermatology, 2021
Dermatographism (DG) is characterized by a localized, inducible, wheal-and-flare response along the distribution of mechanical pressure. We report an illustrative case of DG with vulvar symptoms (DG-VS) and review the literature on this rarely recognized

Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 increases metastatic potential and aggressiveness in colorectal cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a cancer stem cell marker in several malignancies. We established a novel epithelial cell line from rectal adenocarcinoma with unique overexpression of this enzyme. Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 led to increased invasive capacity and metastatic potential, the inhibition of proliferation activity, and ultimately ...

Anticarcinogenic Effect of Spices Due to Phenolic and Flavonoid Compounds—In Vitro Evaluation on Prostate Cells

open access: yesMolecules, 2017
This study shows the effects of spices, and their phenolic and flavonoid compounds, on prostate cell lines (PNT1A, 22RV1 and PC3). The results of an MTT assay on extracts from eight spices revealed the strongest inhibitory effects were from black pepper ...
