Role of Interleukin-18 in Modulation of Oral Carcinoma Cell Proliferation

“…Since its direct biological effect on oral cancer cells is not well defined, in this study, we employed a KB cell line to test IL-18 activity. Recombinant human IL-18 significantly inhibited KB cell proliferation in a dose-dependent fashion (<mml:math><mml:mrow><mml:mi>P</mml:mi><mml:mo>&#x003C;</mml:mo><mml:mn>.05</mml:mn></mml:mrow></mml:math>) without increasing cytotoxicity. …”

Project modules – Prospects for ancient heritage towards ecological transition by Luca Velo, Alberto Cervesato

“…The concept of a module can serve as the foundation for the entire regenerative process, starting with the recovery and reuse of existing building heritage. The aim is to employ an architectural module capable of adapting, either as a single unit or when aggregated, by disassembling the urban fabric and reassembling it into new forms, designed to mediate between public and private space, thereby becoming the embodiment of a renewed compositional archetype. …”

Student attitudes towards electronic information resources by Kathryn Ray, Joan Day

“…Studies were undertaken to determine the level of use of this type of resource, how students feel about various issues surrounding electronic resources and whether attitudes change dependent upon subject studied. 317 students across three universities completed questionnaires to determine level of use of various electronic information resources; ways in which they felt electronic resources had hindered or improved their academic career; if they perceived themselves capable of using the resources; would the standard of their work suffer without the use of these resources; and the various methods employed to acquire the skills necessary to use the sources. 155 students were questioned as part of a larger study IMPEL2, investigating the Impact on People of Electronic Libraries, supplemented by 162 students, questioned as part of an MA Dissertation, using the same methodology.…”
