We analysed the effect of interleukin-1 (IL-1), IL-6 and transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF beta 1) on the growth of a panel of eight colorectal carcinoma cell lines. IL-1 stimulated growth of two lines (LS411N and LS1034) up to 20-fold and IL-6 enhanced proliferation of LS1034 more than 5-fold. Both cytokines also augmented colony-formation of LS1034 in methylcellulose. Under both growth c...

The CUORE experiment is a large bolometric array searching for the lepton number violating neutrino-less double beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) in isotope $\mathrm{^{130}Te}$. In this work we present latest results on two searches (DBD) of $\mathrm{^{130}Te}$ to first $0^{+}_2$ excited state $\mathrm{^{130}Xe}$: $0\nu\beta\beta$ and Standard Model-allowed two-neutrinos ($2\nu\beta\beta$). Both ar...

Background and Aim: Atherosclerosis is known as a multifactorial inflammatory disease. Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) as a risk factor, has a potential to trigger or enhance the immune inflammatory reactions in atherosclerosis. Yet, The exact mechanism by which TMAO induces inflammation during atherosclerosis is not well understood. The present study was designed to evaluate the expression of IL...
