Use of fly ash based geopolymer as an alternative binder can help reduce CO 2 emission of
concrete. The binder of geopolymer concrete (GPC) is different from that of ordinary …

… The efficiency and reproducibility of this extraction protocol have been demonstrated by
Ramgolam et al. [18], especially we checked the efficient detachment of particles from the filter …

Background The aggressiveness of melanoma tumors is likely to rely on their well-recognized
heterogeneity and plasticity. Melanoma comprises multi-subpopulations of cancer cells …

Particulate matter (PM) is thought to be responsible for respiratory health problems. Epithelial
cells exposed to particles release pro-inflammatory cytokines leading to inflammation of …

The aim of the current study was to establish the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)
ligand expression profile in human airway epithelial cells exposed to either particulate matter (…

Tumor-produced extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins can be key elements in tumor growth
and metastasis. Transforming growth factor beta–inducible (TGFBI) protein is a secreted ECM …

Exposure to ambient particulate matter (PM) is responsible for airway inflammation and tissue
remodeling. Urban PM 2.5 (aerodynamic diameter <2.5μm) is a complex mixture rich in …

The auxiliary α 2 δ calcium channel subunits play key roles in voltage-gated calcium
channel function. Independent of this, α 2 δ-1 has also been suggested to be important for …

Fragile X syndrome (FXS), the most common form of inherited intellectual disability and
autism, results from the loss of fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP). We have recently …

Epidemiological and experimental studies have underlined that exposure to particulate
matter (PM) leads mainly to airway inflammation, but the roles of particle size and chemical …
