ABSTRACT The human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum uses mutually exclusive expression of the PfEMP1-encoding var gene family to evade the host immune system.Despite progress in the molecular understanding of the default silencing mechanism, the activation mechanism of the uniquely expressed var member remains elusive.A GC-rich noncoding RNA
Phytochemicals as dietary CALMING CHRONIC STRESS constituents are being explored for their cancer preventive properties.Quercetin is a major constituent of various dietary products and recently its anti-cancer potential has been extensively explored, revealing its anti-proliferative effect on different cancer cell lines, both in vitro and in vivo.Q
In this study, samples of Al-Mg-Sc alloy were investigated after friction stir processing with the addition of Mo powder.Holes were drilled into 5 mm-thick aluminum alloy sheets into which Mo powder was added at percentages of 5, 10, and 15 wt%.The workpieces with different powder contents were then subjected to four passes of friction stir process
