CHEMICALLY FUNCTIONALIZED WATER-SOLUBLE SINGLE-WALLED CARBON NANOTUBES OBSTRUCT VESICULAR/PLASMALEMMAL RECYCLING IN ASTROCYTES DOWN-STREAM OF CALCIUM IONS

We used single-walled carbon nanotubes chemically functionalized with polyethylene glycol (SWCNT-PEG) to assess the effects of this nanomaterial on astrocytic endocytosis and exocytosis.We observed that the SWCNT-PEG do not affect the adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-evoked Hardware Ca2+ elevations in astrocytes but significantly reduce the Ca2+-depend

Gastric cancer is the fifth most common cancer worldwide and has a high mortality rate.In the last decades, treatment strategy has shifted from an exclusive surgical approach to a multidisciplinary strategy.Treatment options for patients with resectable gastric cancer as recommended by different worldwide guidelines, include perioperative chemother

The dependence of the frequency of excess of hygienic standards in surface waters on individual substances and complex indexes is investigated.It was found that in some cases, there are significant dependencies on production-induced Dugouts factors (water withdrawal, wastewater discharge, percentage of plowed lands), while in other cases natural fa

Contrary to common understanding among observers, this essay argues that Islamic fundamentalism is not anti-globalization movement, but rather as parts, participants, and interpreters of globalization.Focusing on the case of Hizb ut-Tahrir, it shows that regardless of its utopian nature of the ideology it pro- motes, Islamic fundamentalism is a glo
