A Thermo-Mechanical Coupled Gradient Damage Model for Heterogeneous Rocks Based on the Weibull Distribution

Energies
This study develops a thermo-mechanical damage (TMD) model for predicting damage evolution in heterogeneous rock materials after heat treatment. The TMD model employs a Weibull distribution to characterize the spatial heterogeneity of the mechanical ...

Peroxidasin enables melanoma immune escape by inhibiting natural killer cell cytotoxicity

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Peroxidasin (PXDN) is secreted by melanoma cells and binds the NK cell receptor NKG2D, thereby suppressing NK cell activation and cytotoxicity. PXDN depletion restores NKG2D signaling and enables effective NK cell–mediated melanoma killing. These findings identify PXDN as a previously unrecognized immune evasion factor and a potential target to improve

Development and Design of Energy Efficient Oil-Flooded Screw Compressors [PDF]

, 2019
It is estimated that about 17% of the world's generated power is used for compression. Thus all, even minor improvement of the efficiency of compressors will substantially reduce CO2 emission. This paper presents development of family of energy efficient

TRAIL‐PEG‐Apt‐PLGA nanosystem as an aptamer‐targeted drug delivery system potential for triple‐negative breast cancer therapy using in vivo mouse model

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aptamers are used both therapeutically and as targeting agents in cancer treatment. We developed an aptamer‐targeted PLGA–TRAIL nanosystem that exhibited superior therapeutic efficacy in NOD/SCID breast cancer models. This nanosystem represents a novel biotechnological drug candidate for suppressing resistance development in breast cancer.

RIPK4 function interferes with melanoma cell adhesion and metastasis

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
RIPK4 promotes melanoma growth and spread. RIPK4 levels increase as skin lesions progress to melanoma. CRISPR/Cas9‐mediated deletion of RIPK4 causes melanoma cells to form less compact spheroids, reduces their migratory and invasive abilities and limits tumour growth and dissemination in mouse models.

Pore characteristics of clay minerals in the Qingshankou shale,Songliao Basin, China: unravelling the effects of illitization

Frontiers in Earth Science
IntroductionClay minerals are critical components of lacustrine shale systems, where their associated pores govern reservoir properties. The diagenetic transformation of these minerals, particularly illitization, profoundly impacts reservoir quality, yet
