Most malignant mesotheliomas (MPMs) frequently show activated forms of Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) and transcriptional co-activator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ), which transcriptionally regulates the receptor for hyaluronic acid-mediated motility (RHAMM). As RHAMM is involved in cell migration and invasion in various tumors, we speculated that hyaluronic acid (HA) in pleural fluid might aff...

The invasion of Spartina alterniflora significantly affected the local ecosystem of Western Pacific Ocean where Moerella iridescens lives. Five patches with different invasion stages of S. alterniflora were selected and the influence on distribution of M. iridescens was studied on the coast of Wenzhou Bay, China in 2007. The aggregated distribution pattern was proved by using Taylor's power re...

the introduction of acacia saligna in the north nile delta of egypt is causing harmful impacts on the plant diversity. thirty stands were established in both invaded and non-invaded areas. the species abundance and diversity were determined. soil samples were collected and analyzed. the correlation between vegetation and soil variables was investigated. the allelopathic potential of water and m...

Probiotic microorganisms have attracted a growing interest for prevention and therapy of gastrointestinal disorders. Many probiotic strains have been shown to inhibit growth and metabolic activity of enteropathogenic bacteria as well as their adhesion and invasion to intestinal cells. In the present study, we evaluated the interference of bacteria-free supernatants (BFS) of cultures belonging t...

Multiphase flow in porous media is involved various natural and industrial applications, including water infiltration into soils, carbon geosequestration, underground hydrogen storage. Understanding the invasion morphology at pore scale critical for better prediction of properties continuum partially saturated permeable media. The deep learning method, as a promising technique to estimate trans...

objective(s):degradation of sphingosine 1-phosphate (s1p), as a bioactive lipid, or deregulation of its production involves in tumor progression, metastasis and chemoresistance. since the tumor progression effects of s1p and its mechanism in chronic lymphoblastic leukemia and non-small cell lung cancer is not fully understood, we investigated the role and one of the mechanisms of s1p in tumor p...

Spontaneous preterm birth significantly contributes to the overall neonatal morbidity associated with preterm deliveries. Nearly 50% of cases are associated with microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity followed by an inflammatory response. Robust diagnostic tools for neonates jeopardized by infection and inflammation may thus decrease the overall neonatal morbidity substantially. Amniotic flu...

A novel form of percolation is considered which is motivated by models of the displacement of one fluid by another from a porous medium. The physical idea is that if the displaced phase is incompressible, then regions of it which are surrounded by the displacing fluid become ‘trapped’ and cannot subsequently be invaded. We thus consider a new percolation process, ‘percolation with trapping’, in...

The unstable fluid–fluid displacement patterns in porous media with rough invasion fronts and trapping of the defending phase are often observed drainage, i.e. when solid is non-wetting to invading phase. On other hand, during imbibition, compact faceted growth expected regular geometrically homogeneous pore structure. Here, we report irregular fluid imbibition process two-dimensional media. ra...
