Patients treated with low-dose anthracyclines often show late onset cardiotoxicity.Recent studies suggest that this form of cardiotoxicity is the result of a progenitor cell disease.In this study we demonstrate that Cord Blood Endothelial Progenitor Cells (EPCs) exposed to low, sub-apoptotic doses of doxorubicin show a senescence phenotype characte

This paper investigated the effect of freezing-thawing and wetting-drying cycles on the strength and durability of clay soil stabilized with lime and marble powder.The test samples were prepared by adding 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% of marble powder, without and with 6% lime to the soil which is a high plasticity clay (CH) according to the Unified Soil Cl

In the years 2006-2008, the authors investigated a breeding population of Little Owl, Athene noctua, in an urbanized area of NW Lombardy (Varese province).They employed the playback method along 5 transects with iphone 13 price ohio 36 points of emission: they obtained an overall response rate of 33.6%, with a mean density of breeding pairs of 0.5/
