Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are present in all organs and tissues. Several studies have
shown the therapeutic potential effect of MSC or their derived products. However, the …

Over the past three decades, researchers have investigated the existence of possible
relationships between crystal nucleation kinetics and the atomic-scale structure of silicate …

The nuclear pore complex protein Nup88 is overexpressed in tumor cells.
Immunohistochemical studies have shown that this overexpression is linked to higher …

Evidences indicate that tumor development and progression towards a malignant phenotype
depend not only on cancer cells themselves, but are also deeply influenced by tumor stroma …

In a recent report, it has been postulated that the ubiquitous RBM proteins might constitute a
novel family of apoptosis modulators. We measured the expression of the X‐chromosome …

The effect of activators on the hydration of granulated blast‐furnace slag (gbfs) was studied
through compressive strength measurements, 29Si, 27Al, and 23Na high‐resolution nuclear …

It has been previously shown (J. Schneider et al., Br. J. Cancer, 77: 1015–1020, 1998) that
an antibody directed against Candida albicans proteins (C6) recognizes specifically a …

The alkali–silica reaction is a deleterious chemical process that can occur in concrete. The
product of the reaction is an amorphous silicate material with gel characteristics, whose high …

Oil wells subjected to cyclic steam injection often present cement sheath failures due to
thermal loads. Currently, different Portland based systems are employed to mitigate this risk …

We synthesized four glasses of the system 61.2 SiO 2–(24.3–x) CaO–4.5 P 2 O 5–10ZrO 2–
xK 2 O (x= 0, 2, 4, 6 mol%= Ca replaced by K) using a sol–gel route and compared their …
