The Colorado potato beetle (CPB) is a serious pest of economically important Solanaceae species.The use of essential oil compounds in pest management has been proposed as an alternative to harmful chemical insecticides that disturb human health and ecosystem functioning.We examined the antifeedant activity of three concentrations (0.125%, 0.25% and
Epithelial mesenchymal transition is required for acquisition of anoikis resistance and metastatic potential in adenoid cystic carcinoma.
Human adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is characterized by diffused invasion of the tumor into adjacent organs and early distant metastasis.Anoikis resistance and epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) are considered prerequisites for cancer cells to metastasize.Exploring the relationship between these processes and their underlying mechanism of act
An investigation of quantitative methods for assessing intersectionality in health research: A systematic review
Intersectionality is a theoretical framework that investigates how interlocking systems of power and oppression at the societal level influence the lived experiences of historically and socially marginalized groups.Currently, there are no consistent or widely adopted quantitative methods to investigate research questions informed by intersectionali
Impact of Angiopoietin-2 on Kidney Diseases
Background: Angiopoietins (Ang) are essential angiogenic factors involved in angiogenesis, vascular maturation, and inflammation.The most studied angiopoietins, angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) and angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2), behave antagonistically to each other in vivo to sustain vascular endothelium homeostasis.While Ang-1 typically acts as the endothelium-pr
Synoptic Overview of Exotic Acacia, Senegalia and Vachellia (Caesalpinioideae, Mimosoid Clade, Fabaceae) in Egypt
For the first time, an updated checklist of Acacia, Senegalia and Vachellia Lab Equipment species in Egypt is provided, focusing on the exotic species.Taking into consideration the retypification of genus Acacia ratified at the Melbourne International Botanical Congress (IBC, 2011), a process of reclassification has taken place worldwide in recent
