Overall, this study proved that the encapsulation of metformin and docosahexaenoic acid in inhalable microspheres could be a promising strategy for tumor lung metastasis inhibition via orthotopically modulating premetastatic niche in the lungs.Triplet excitons can be utilized upon introduction of phosphors into exciplexes, and such a scenario has…[Read more]

Canonical transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) signaling exerts neuroprotection and influences memory formation and synaptic plasticity. It has been considered as a new target for the prevention and treatment of depression. This study aimed to examine its modulatory role in linking prenatal maternal depressive symptoms and the amygdala volumes…[Read more]

To determine if oxygen saturation (out-of-hospital SpO2), measured by New York City (NYC) 9-1-1 Emergency Medical Services (EMS), was an independent predictor of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in-hospital mortality and length of stay, after controlling for the competing risk of death. If so, out-of-hospital SpO2 could be useful for initial…[Read more]

Phytoestrogens, with a wide range of beneficial effects, prevent bone loss caused by oestrogen deficiency.The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of Medicago sativa ethanol extract compared to 17β-oestradiol on osteoporosis in ovariectomized mice.The study was carried out on female mice, divided into five groups control mice (GI),…[Read more]

Aiming the development of advanced and lightweight thermal neutrons shields, a new hybrid composite was developed from UHMWPE fibers, epoxy and boron carbide (B4C) particles. The UHMWPE fibres were chosen because of their high hydrogen contents and exceptional mechanical properties. The neutrons shielding tests were performed using an optimized…[Read more]
