Flavonoids of Rosa rugosa Thunb. inhibit tumor proliferation and metastasis in human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells by Zhiguo Zhang, Meilin Wang, Shu Xing, Chen Zhang

“…The results indicated that rose flavonoids at low concentration (10–40 μg/mL) had a better inhibitory effect on migration and invasion of HepG2 cells in a dose-dependent manner, while rose flavonoids at high concentration (80–160 μg/mL) could induce apoptosis of HepG2 cells by up-regulating the expression of pro-apoptotic proteins p53 and Bax, and down-regulating the expression of anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-2, leading to the functioning of caspase-3 and caspase-9. …”

El (auto) tropicalismo en Costa Rica: Un análisis de la marca-país del Instituto Costarricense de Turismo dentro de la geopolítica del turismo by Santiago Navarro

“…Este proceso refleja una división global del sistema mundo (Wallerstein, 2005), en la cual los centros mundiales conforman “periferias del placer” (Ash y Turner, 1999), donde algunas se encuentran dentro del circuito geográfico tropical del planeta bajo imaginarios de exotismo (Beltrán, 2008) específicos, los cuales podríamos denominar como “tropicalismo”. A la par de esto, siguiendo la lógica del “colonialismo interno” (Amin, 2009), las élites del Estado-Nación de estas regiones tropicales conforman el “auto tropicalismo”, que es el construir la imagen local a semejanza de los deseos de ocio y fantasía que los centros globales conforman. …”
