Cx43 was increased in the TMZ-resistant low passage and cell lines.
Data analysis indicates that decreasing but high levels of chloroquine-resistant, low levels of mefloquine-resistant, and no artemisinin-resistant parasite profiles were present among samples assessed.
Specially designed "travel suits" provide one answer, in all their crease-resistant, low-maintenance, anti-bacterial, breathable glory.
Something like this process, though in reverse, has been used by chemical engineers at North Carolina State University to make a durable, water-resistant low-friction coating that may one day have applications in medicine or industry.
The result was highly wear-resistant, low-friction DLC/Pt-Au nanocomposites.
Here, superhard wear-resistant low-friction TaCxNy films were deposited by sputtering a TaC composite target in the mixed discharge gases of N2 and Ar.
The design and fabrication of superhard wear-resistant low-friction films can broaden the work situations of machine parts to some harsh conditions, i.e. subjecting to the attack of hard particles.
Wear-resistant low-friction films have been widely applied to various engineered components to prolong their service lifetime, in which the mechanical properties of films need to be optimized for their intended applications and contact situations.
The introduction of high-toughness, moisture-resistant low-alloy steel and enhanced-performance rutile-coated stainless steel MMA electrodes, iron powder addition, and Ti Bo microalloyed wires for SAW and the use of low-residual wires for GMAW are useful examples of this evolutionary process.
For example, dietary supplementation of antioxidant vitamin E can reduce the development of atherosclerosis through increased production of oxidation-resistant low-density lipoprotein [ 266].
