    Oncology Research, Vol.33, No.3, pp. 675-685, 2025, DOI:10.32604/or.2024.056256 - 28 February 2025

    Abstract Background: The JAK2V617F mutation plays a crucial part in the pathogenesis of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), which includes polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF) leading to aberrant proliferation and survival of hematopoietic cells. Alongside the challenges of drug resistance and side effects, identifying novel compounds that selectively target JAK2V617F could provide more effective and safer therapeutic options for patients with MPNs. Materials and Methods: We employed computational approaches like high-throughput virtual screening, molecular dynamics simulations (MDS), and binding free energy calculations to identify inhibitors targeting wild and mutant JAK2 kinases. JAK2V617F positive HEL, wild… More >

    Djordje Spasojević1,*, Sanja Janićević2, Svetislav Mijatović1, Bosiljka Tadić3,4

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.142, No.2, pp. 1021-1107, 2025, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2024.057884 - 27 January 2025

    Abstract Disordered ferromagnets with a domain structure that exhibit a hysteresis loop when driven by the external magnetic field are essential materials for modern technological applications. Therefore, the understanding and potential for controlling the hysteresis phenomenon in these materials, especially concerning the disorder-induced critical behavior on the hysteresis loop, have attracted significant experimental, theoretical, and numerical research efforts. We review the challenges of the numerical modeling of physical phenomena behind the hysteresis loop critical behavior in disordered ferromagnetic systems related to the non-equilibrium stochastic dynamics of domain walls driven by external fields. Specifically, using the extended… More >

    Multicomponent Discrete Boltzmann Method for Compressible Reactive Flows with Thermodynamic Nonequilibrium Effects

    Chongdong Lin1,2,3,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.29, No.1, pp. 1-1, 2024, DOI:10.32604/icces.2024.011631

    Abstract In many real-world scenarios, such as high-speed combustion processes and re-entry flows in aerospace vehicles, the flow conditions often involve complex interactions between multiple chemical species and energy modes, leading to thermodynamic nonequilibrium effects. Traditional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods struggle to accurately capture these phenomena due to their simplifying assumptions regarding equilibrium thermodynamics. To solve this issue, the Multicomponent Discrete Boltzmann Method (MDBM) is proposed as a numerical approach to simulate compressible reactive flows with thermodynamic nonequilibrium effects. Based on kinetic theory, this method can capture the complex interactions between different species and energy… More >

    MIN LIU1,*, XIA LI2, JUN LIU1, YU LIU1

    BIOCELL, Vol.48, No.10, pp. 1475-1487, 2024, DOI:10.32604/biocell.2024.053227 - 02 October 2024

    Abstract Background: Alveolar macrophage pyroptosis exacerbates inflammatory lung diseases, and tanshinone IIA is known for its anti-inflammatory properties. Thus, understanding how tanshinone IIA affects alveolar macrophage pyroptosis is essential. Methods: NR8383 cells were exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP). We assessed cell viability, pyroptosis, and the expression of triggering receptors expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2), p-β-catenin, β-catenin, and pyroptosis-related factors. We also examined the interaction between tanshinone IIA and TREM2. Results: Co-stimulation with LPS and ATP significantly reduced NR8383 cell viability, increased pyroptosis, and upregulated pyroptosis-associated factors. Treatment with tanshinone IIA mitigated these effects.… More >

    Agatha E. R. Prado Gárate1,2, Fernando E. Felissia2, María Cristina Area2, Teresa Suirezs3, María Evangelina Vallejos2,*

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.12, No.9, pp. 1541-1555, 2024, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2024.052481 - 25 September 2024

    Abstract Non-traditional lignocellulosic materials are a significant resource for producing high-value products, including nanocellulose. This work studied the nanocellulose obtention from chemical pulps of the two fast-growing bamboo species, Guadua trinii, and Guadua angustifolia. Chemical pulps were produced by soda-anthraquinone (S) pulping from both autohydrolysis-pretreated (H) and unpretreated bamboo chips. Autohydrolysis-pretreated (SHP) and unpretreated soda-anthraquinone (AQ) (SP) pulps were characterized by yield, Kappa number, alpha, beta, and gamma cellulose, degree of polymerization, water retention value, and crystallinity. The nanocellulose was produced by a sequential chemical oxidation treatment (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl, TEMPO reagent) and mechanical nanofibrillation. Nanocellulose was characterized by carboxylic… More > Graphic Abstract

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.92, No.7, pp. 2165-2181, 2023, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2023.026954 - 29 May 2023

    Abstract Wood is a lignocellulosic material that, because of its organic nature, is a source of nutrients for bacteria, fungi, and insects. Incisitermes marginipennis (Latreille) is an interesting dry wood-boring termite. Because it is an extremely destructive pest, difficult to control due to its cryptic lifestyle, and for its role in the biogeochemical cycle of carbon and other elements; it is a fundamental organism. The use of less toxic and eco-friendly substances is important for protecting domestic, cultural, and historical heritage made of wood or lignocellulosic materials. The aim of this study was to evaluate the biological… More >
