Assessment of High-resolution Local Emissions and Land-use in Air Quality Forecasting at an Urban, Coastal, Desert Environment by Christos Fountoukis, Yasir Mohieldeen, Luis Pomares, Ivan Gladich, Azhar Siddique, Adam Skillern, Mohammed A. Ayoub

“…The overall forecast error decreased from –51% to 8% for PM2.5 and from –88% to 20% for NOx while a significant improvement was observed in the diurnal profile of predicted ozone. The ability of the model to forecast the air quality health index in this urban, coastal, hot desert climate is encouraging for future applications of this modeling platform as an early warning system (EWS).…”

Sympathetic innervation induced by nerve growth factor promotes malignant transformation in gastric cancer by Takefumi Itami, Yukinori Kurokawa, Takaomi Hagi, Shinnosuke Nagano, Rennosuke Nakamoto, Yu Kamakura, Tsuyoshi Takahashi, Takuro Saito, Kazuyoshi Yamamoto, Kota Momose, Kotaro Yamashita, Koji Tanaka, Tomoki Makino, Kiyokazu Nakajima, Hidetoshi Eguchi, Yuichiro Doki

“…Furthermore, noradrenaline, a neurotransmitter released from sympathetic nerve endings, induced malignant transformation by promoting epithelial–mesenchymal transition, increasing invasiveness and enhancing the ability of gastric cancer cells to migrate. These findings suggest that gastric cancer with high NGF expression might promote sympathetic innervation within tumor tissue, fostering malignant transformation through noradrenaline signaling. …”
