Review of Fire Tests on Seats for Passenger Coaches and the Materials Used in Them by Dieter Hohenwarter

“…The heat release of old and new leather was examined, and it was found that the flame retardant applied to the leather surface appeared to have aged over the years and that the flame retardant was therefore no longer effective. The heat release of flame-retardant foams with a cover fabric was measured using irradiation with a cone calorimeter and flame treatment. …”

The Role of Chemokines in Breast Cancer Pathology and Its Possible Use as Therapeutic Targets by M. Isabel Palacios-Arreola, Karen E. Nava-Castro, Julieta I. Castro, Eduardo García-Zepeda, Julio C. Carrero, Jorge Morales-Montor

“…In cancer, although chemokines are associated primarily with the generation of a protumoral microenvironment and organ-directed metastasis, they also mediate other phenomena related to disease progression, such as angiogenesis and even chemoresistance. Therefore, the chemokine system is becoming a target in cancer therapeutics. …”

Using Topomer Comparative Molecular Field Analysis to Elucidate Activity Differences of Aminomethylenethiophene Derivatives as Lysyl Oxidase Inhibitors: Implications for Rational Design of Antimetastatic Agents for Cancer Therapy by Jing Han, Guochao Yan, Jianping Feng, Xianglin Yang, Yuan Zhou

“…The structural modification of the aminomethylenethiophene scaffold was carried out, and novel AMT derivatives with theoretically decent LOX inhibition were proposed. The topomer CoMFA modeling could provide a quantitative perspective into the structure-activity relationship of AMT derivatives and potentially speed up the rational design of LOX inhibitors as antimetastatic agents for cancer therapy.…”
