Immunogenicity of RSV F DNA Vaccine in BALB/c Mice by Erdal Eroglu, Ankur Singh, Swapnil Bawage, Pooja M. Tiwari, Komal Vig, Shreekumar R. Pillai, Vida A. Dennis, Shree R. Singh

“…Also, sera from RSV F immunized and RSV infected mice reduced the RSV infection by 50% and 80%, respectively. Our data evidently showed that the RSV F DNA vaccine activated the Th1 biased immune response and led to the production of neutralizing antibodies, which is the desired immune response required for protection from RSV infections.…”

Identification of p53 and Its Isoforms in Human Breast Carcinoma Cells by Zorka Milićević, Vladan Bajić, Lada Živković, Jelena Kasapović, Uroš Andjelković, Biljana Spremo-Potparević

“…In many malignant cells, the nucleolar sequestration of p53 is evident. These observations support the view that the nucleolus is involved directly in the mediation of p53 function or indirectly by the control of the localization of p53 interplayers. p53 expressed in the nuclear fraction of breast cancer cells revealed a wide spectrum of isoforms. p53 isoforms ΔNp53 (47 kDa) and Δ133p53β (35 kDa), known as dominant-negative repressors of p53 function, were detected as the most predominant variants in nuclei of invasive breast carcinoma cells. …”

A multi-criteria optimization for a radial heat sink with semicircular fins based on the design of experiments approach by Yousif Hashim Hussein, Tahseen Ahmad Tahseen, Abdulrazzak Akroot, M.A.H. Mithu, Ammar M. Abdulateef

“…For thermal resistance, the corresponding values were 97.91 % for predicted R2, 96.70 % for adjusted R2, 94.21 % for CV, and 3.33 % for parameter separation. Therefore, it is evident that the proposed model is highly accurate in predicting semicircular radial heat sink performance, offering a robust tool for future heat sink designs and sustainable thermal management systems.…”
