Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a fundamental process whereby epithelial cells acquire mesenchymal phenotypes and the ability to migrate.EMT is the hallmark of gastrulation, an COLD evolutionarily conserved developmental process.In mammals, epiblast cells ingress at the primitive streak to form mesoderm.Cells ingress and exit the epib
Background: The global burden of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) is mainly driven by modifiable risk factors, with sub-Saharan Africa as the region to bear the brunt of the increasing burden.Emphasis has been on hypertension while side-lining the others to variable extents.Furthermore, the work environment, which plays an important role in the socia
A nanomaterial life-cycle risk assessment (Nano LCRA) was conducted for second-generation functionalized cellulose nanomaterials (CNs) in five case studies, including applications in water filtration, food contact packaging (including as an additive and coating), and food additives, to identify and prioritize potential occupational, health, consume
Abstract Background Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally.Arterial hypertension is one of the main cardiovascular risk factors.Despite this, individuals with hypertension often fail to follow medical advice to counteract cardiovascular risks.A physically active lifestyle is one of the most challengin
The aim of this study was to propose and evaluate a very small wind turbine (VSWT) that competes with commercial grid-connected VSWTs in terms of simplicity, robustness and price.Its main components are a squirrel-cage induction generator (SCIG) driven by a frequency converter.The system has a direct-drive shaft, and may be constructed with commerc
