Background: Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) have been shown to be among the most prominent cells in tumor microenvironment and play a significant role in accelerating tumor metastasis by interacting with other type of cells. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), the predominant tumor-infiltratin...

Abstract ABIN-1, also called TNIP1, is an ubiquitin-binding protein that serves an important role in suppressing RIPK1-independent apoptosis, necroptosis, and NF-κB activation. However, the involvement of ABIN-1 in the regulation of RIPK1-dependent apoptosis (RDA) is unknown. In this study, we found...

In order to find the optimal share of barley seedling powder (BSP) to improve the rheological properties of wheat dough and physico-chemical properties of steamed bread (SB), BSP was added with wheat flour at various proportions (2–10%). Results showed that with the increasing amount of BSP additive...

In the Dhaka Ring Road Project in Bangladesh, geocell filled with fine sand was used as cushions to treat the soft foundation to improve its bearing capacity. Large-scale direct shear, tension, and compression tests were conducted using a self-design testing device to analyse the working characteris...
