Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are a family of linear and negatively charged polysaccharides that exist ubiquitously on the human cell surface as well as in the extracellular matrix.GAGs interact with a wide range of proteins, including proteases, growth factors, cytokines, chemokines and adhesion molecules, enabling them to mediate many physiological p
Lung epithelial and endothelial cell death accompanied by inflammation contributes to hyperoxia-induced acute lung injury (ALI).Impaired resolution of ALI can promote and/or perpetuate lung pathogenesis, including fibrosis.Previously, we have shown that the transcription factor Nrf2 induces cytoprotective gene expression and confers protection agai
Introduction: In this paper, we consider LVL (laminated veneer lumber with unidirectional veneer) as an element of plane trusses and geodesic domes, acting as the bearing structure of roofs, and study destruction of LVL joints, which is necessary Woks to improve designs of wooden roofs under consideration.Methods: Our studies were based on structur
Simulation technology is a type of shipbuilding product lifecycle management solution used to support production planning or decision-making.Normally, most shipbuilding processes are consisted of job shop production, and the modeling and simulation require professional skills and experience on shipbuilding.For these reasons, many shipbuilding compa
The Sahara Desert is the largest dust source on Earth.Its dust is frequently emitted into the Mediterranean atmosphere and transported by the winds sometimes as far north as Central Europe.The accumulated particles contribute to soil forming processes, while the atmospheric mineral dust has an impact on the radiation budget, cloud forming processes
