Sulforaphane reduces obesity by reversing leptin resistance.
(
eLife Sciences Publications
, 2022 , Article)
The ascending prevalence of obesity in recent decades is commonly associated with soaring morbidity and mortality rates, resulting in increased health-care costs and decreased quality of life. A systemic state of stress ...
Performance optimization of CH3NH3Pb(I1-xBrx)3 based perovskite solar cells by comparing different ETL materials through conduction band offset engineering
(
Elsevier
, 2020 , Article)
Numerical simulations can provide the physical insights into the carrier transport mechanism in the solar cells, and the factors influencing their performance. In this paper, perovskite solar cell (PSC) based on the mixed ...
Foamed phase change materials based on recycled polyethylene/paraffin wax blends
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
Foamed phase-change materials (FPCMs) were prepared using recycled linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) blended with 30 wt.% of paraffin wax (PW) and foamed by 1,1′-azobiscarbamide. The protection of pores’ collapse ...
A facile energy-efficient approach to prepare super oil-sorbent thin films
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2023 , Article)
Oil spills on water surface and shoreline have caused significant water pollution, and one of the ways to deal with them is to use oil sorbents. An effective sorbent provides high oil uptake and retention values, high ...
Long non-coding RNAs regulated NF-κB signaling in cancer metastasis: Micromanaging by not so small non-coding RNAs
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2022 , Article)
Cancer metastasis is a major reason for the cancer-associated deaths and a role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in cancer metastasis is increasingly being realized. Among the many oncogenic pathways, NF-κB signalling’s ...
Melt processing and characterisation of polyamide 6/graphene nanoplatelet composites
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2015 , Article)
Graphene, due to its outstanding properties, has become the topic of much research activity in recent years. Much of that work has been on a laboratory scale however, if we are to introduce graphene into real product ...
Nanosheet synthesis of mixed Co3O4/CuO via combustion method for methanol oxidation and carbon dioxide reduction
(
American Chemical Society
, 2020 , Article)
This paper represents a study of mixed Co3O4/CuO nanosheet (NS) synthesis via solution combustion synthesis for oxidation of methanol and carbon dioxide (CO2) conversion. The mixed oxide NS of Co3O4/CuO is a hybrid structure ...
Crosstalk between Sodium–Glucose Cotransporter Inhibitors and Sodium–Hydrogen Exchanger 1 and 3 in Cardiometabolic Diseases
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
Abnormality in glucose homeostasis due to hyperglycemia or insulin resistance is the
hallmark of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). These metabolic abnormalities in T2DM lead to cellular
dysfunction and the development of ...
Protection of Omicron sub-lineage infection against reinfection with another Omicron sub-lineage
(
Nature Research
, 2022 , Article)
There is significant genetic distance between SARS-CoV-2 Omicron (B.1.1.529) variant BA.1 and BA.2 sub-lineages. This study investigates immune protection of infection with one sub-lineage against reinfection with the other ...
