Noncytotoxic spleen cells from BALB/c mice bearing 15- to 26-mm (but not 29-mm) s.c. MOPC-315 tumors that were cultured in medium containing 2% polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG) developed substantial levels of anti-MOPC-315 cytotoxicity as assayed by 51Cr release. The level of cytotoxicity obtained increased with progression of tumor growth. Addition of mitomycin C-treated stimulator tumor cells a...

The study determined the electrical performance of dye sensitized solar cell by using electrolyte hydrogels Polyethylene Glycol 4000 and 6000. experimental work consisted Dye Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC) structure arrangement, assembly DSSC layers, measurement DSSC. resistances TCO glass were 1.1 kΩ 14.9 kΩ. concentration thickening agents in solution 5%, 10%, 15%, a control sample without addi...

The Cys2/His2-type zinc finger proteins have been implicated in different cellular processes involved in plant development and stress responses. Through microarray analysis, a salt-responsive zinc finger protein gene ZFP179 was identified and subsequently cloned from rice seedlings. ZFP179 encodes a 17.95 kDa protein with two C2H2-type zinc finger motifs having transcriptional activation activi...

To investigate the role of nitrogen (N) metabolism in the adaptation of photosynthesis to water stress in rice, a hydroponic experiment supplying with low N (0.72 mM), moderate N (2.86 mM), and high N (7.15 mM) followed by 150 g⋅L-1 PEG-6000 induced water stress was conducted in a rainout shelter. Water stress induced stomatal limitation to photosynthesis at low N, but no significant effect was...

The growth and performance of cowpea seedlings are negatively impacted by climate change the subsequent occurrence drought stress. Osmotic stress leads to formation reactive oxygen species, causing membrane breakdown, impairs metabolic activities. harmful effects osmotic can be reduced using seed priming techniques. Seeds var. Anaswara were treated with polyethylene glycol (PEG) ?-amino butyric...

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rapidly fatal disease in which mortality is typically due to right ventricular (RV) failure. An excellent predictor of mortality in PAH is proximal pulmonary artery stiffening, which is mediated by collagen accumulation in hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension (HPH) in mice. We sought to investigate the impact of limiting vascular and ventricular coll...
