X Ray-Induced Insulinoma Cell Line Rin-5F Has a Novel Mutation Site, C.A1459G (P.T487A), in Death Domain Associated Protein (DAXX) GeneAbstract A popular toxicological and pharmacological research cell line is the insulin-secreting pancreatic cell line Rin-5F. The cell line originates from insulinomas induced by X-ray exposure. The author of this report looked at the mutation status of the DAXX gene in the Rin-5F cell line clone. The complete DNA and RNA were extracted from the cultivated cells [...] |
Hot Topics on Nutrition in IBDby
Caroline Soares
and
Paula Ministro
Abstract Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) affect primarily the bowel, but they are multisystemic diseases with a wide range of extraintestinal manifestations and complications. Nutritional imbalance occurs frequently in patients with IBD. The spectrum of malnutrition goes from undernutrition (low protein-caloric intake, disease-related malnutrition, micronutrie [...] |
What Do We Know about an Invisible Issue? Results of a Scoping Review of Elder Abuse and Gender and Sexual MinoritiesAbstract Elder abuse occurs to older adults who are members of gender and sexual minorities (GSM). Whilst most of that abuse is similar to that experienced by their heterosexual and cisgender peers GSM older adults face particular vulnerabilities due to their life experiences and changes. In this article we report on our findings from a literature search and [...] |
A Review on Silk Fibers and Their Medical ApplicationsAbstract This mini-compilation study included the chemical structure, mechanical, thermal, and dimensional properties of silk fiber, its production process, pre-treatment, and biomedical applications from various experimental studies, which are compiled and summarized. The silk fiber should have a degumming process before using biomedical applications. The 25 [...] |
Wind Farm Layout Optimization Subject to Cable Cost, Hub Height, and a Feasible 3D Gaussian Wake Model ImplementationAbstract We address the Wind Farm Layout Optimization (WFLO) problem and tackle the optimal placement of several turbines within a specific (wind farm) area by incorporating additional aspects of an economically driven target function. With this, we contribute three refinements for WFLO research: First, while many research contributions optimize the turbines [...] |
Capillary Suction Properties of Mortar Made with Recycled Plastic Aggregates Elaborated from Waste Electrical and Electronic EquipmentAbstract It is possible to revalue the plastic fraction from WEEE using it as a recycled aggregate (RA) in cement mortars. However, this feasibility depends on elaborating a granular material via a core-shell strategy to stabilize the potential contaminants. The core is a plastic particle, and the shell is a cement, fillers, and activated carbon mixture. Due [...] |

Impact of Sex and Gender Differences on Heart Failure, Especially in Elderly PatientsAbstract Heart failure is one of the major health threats in Western societies, and its prevalence is steadily increasing. Many data show the important impact of sex (biological) and gender (sociocultural) differences on most aspects (diagnosis, etiology, treatments, and outcomes) of heart failure. For example, compared to men, women with heart failure are older [...] |
Calculated Human Leucocyte Antigens Evolutionary Divergence (cHED)by
Bruno A Lima
Abstract Human Leucocyte Antigens (HLA) constitute a highly polymorphic set of genes pivotal to the immune response. The HLA heterozygous advantage hypothesis assumes that heterozygous individuals at the HLA level have a wider range of peptides for T cell recognition than homozygous individuals. Consequently, they possess an enhanced capacity to trigger a target [...] |
The Effect of SnO2 and Rh on Pt Nanowire Catalysts for Ethanol OxidationAbstract In this study, we synthesized Pt-Rh nanowires (NWs) through chemical reduction of metallic precursors using formic acid at room temperature, excluding the use of surfactants, templates, or stabilizing agents. These NWs were supported on two substrates: carbon (Vulcan XC-72R) and carbon modified with tin oxide (SnO2) via the sol-gel method (10 wt.% SnO2 [...] |
