Exploring the prognosis of calponin h1 in carcinogenesis: A novel target in biomedical research by Roshna Sankar, Sharon John, Priya Devi, Sameer Gupta, Shalini Gupta

“…It was initially identified as a protein in smooth muscle, where it interacts with F-actin and inhibits actomyosin Mg-ATPase activity in vitro, regulating smooth muscle contraction. One of its functions is akin to a striated muscle troponin T-like protein. …”

Strong Convergence Theorems for Equilibrium Problems and k-Strict Pseudocontractions in Hilbert Spaces by Dao-Jun Wen

“…We introduce a new iterative scheme for finding a common element of the set of solutions of an equilibrium problem and the set of common fixed point of a finite family of k-strictly pseudo-contractive nonself-mappings. Strong convergence theorems are established in a real Hilbert space under some suitable conditions. …”
