klf2ash317 Mutant Zebrafish Do Not Recapitulate Morpholino-Induced Vascular and Haematopoietic Phenotypes. by Peter Novodvorsky, Oliver Watson, Caroline Gray, Robert N Wilkinson, Scott Reeve, Carl Smythe, Richard Beniston, Karen Plant, Richard Maguire, Alexander M K Rothman, Stone Elworthy, Fredericus J M van Eeden, Timothy J A Chico

“…We detected vascular expression of klf2b (but not klf4a or biklf/klf4b/klf17) in wildtypes but found no differences in expression that might account for the lack of phenotype in klf2ash317 mutants. klf2b morpholino knockdown did not affect heart rate or impair formation of the 5th accessory aortic arch in either wildtypes or klf2ash317 mutants.…”

Kinetics of silicon extraction into alloy from a mixture of amorphous rocks by V.M. Shevko, N.M. Mirkayev, A.D. Badikova

“…It was established that when the melting the amorphous rocks, with an increase in the degree of silicon extraction into the alloy, the apparent activation energy decreases, that is a manifestation of diffusion processes, obviously associated with the formation of a silicon carbide layer on the coke surface. The rate of silicon extraction into the alloy when the melting the amorphous rocks is higher than when the melting quartzite. …”

Breaking barriers: targeted delivery of resveratrol in lung cancer using folate-integrated and pH-responsive hybrid nanocarriers by Sanjoy Das, Malay K. Das, Taison Jamatia, Nayan Ranjan Ghose Bishwas, Dhritiman Roy, Emdormi Rymbai

“…Finally, in vivo targeting and anticancer studies demonstrated that FOL-RSV-LPHNCs selectively internalized to the cancerous region and suppressed the tumor volume with an 8.66-fold higher rate in the xenograft mouse model. The folate receptor-mediated uptake mainly facilitates this superior therapeutic response which was further confirmed by in silico molecular docking and dynamic simulation. …”
