Levels of growth factors in the lungs affected by cancer with preventive effect of 1,3-diethylbenzimidazolium triiodide in the experiment by E. M. Frantsiyants, I. V. Kaplieva, L. K. Trepitaki

“…In two-thirds of rats, Stellanin prevented s45 development in the lungs due to inhibition of VEGF-A growth by more than 2.0 times and an increase in concentrations of sVEGF-R1 by 10.0 times and TGF-β by 6.0 times, together with normalization of sVEGF-R2 and sTGFβR2.Conclusions. Stellanin prevents the development of malignant process in the lungs by inhibiting neoangiogenesis (deficiency of VEGF-A and excess of sVEGF-R1) and suppressing the proliferation of malignant cells (TGF-β growth).…”

Spatial Distribution Characteristics of Micronutrients and Their Deficiency Effect on the Root Morphology and Architecture in Citrus Rootstock by Gaofeng Zhou, Yiping Fu, Mei Yang, Yanhong Li, Jing Zhang

“…All micronutrient concentrations in the second and third LRs of Ptr were higher than those of Cre, except for the Zn concentration in the second LR, which indicates that Ptr requires more micronutrients to maintain normal root system growth and development. Principal component analysis (PCA) showed that B and P were very close in terms of spatial distribution and that Mo, Mn, Cu, and Fe contributed significantly to PC1, while B, Cu, Mo, and Zn contributed significantly to PC2 in both rootstocks. …”
