Surface enriched molybdenum 316L stainless steel was obtained by ball milling technique. The electrochemical tests showed surface enriched molybdenum improved the corrosion …
The results from double loop electrochemical potentiokinetic reactivation technique, potentiostatic critical pitting temperature technique and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy …
The effects of electrochemical nitridation on the corrosion resistance of the 2205 duplex stainless steel were investigated. It was found that increased nitrogen content in the 2205 duplex …
The effect of the strain of 316L stainless steel on its corrosion resistance in PEMFC environment was investigated. Higher tensile strain facilitated the formation of more dislocations. The …
Aligned NiCo 2 S 4 nanotubes on Ni foam were obtained by the complete sulfidation of NiCo-precursor which was synthetized by hydrothermal process. The NiCo 2 S 4 nanotubes on …
Background CCN family, comprising six members (Cyr61, CTGF, Nov, WISP-1, WISP-2, WISP-3), is involved in the stimulation of cell proliferation, migration, adhesion, angiogenesis, …
Lung macrophages constitute the first line of defense against airborne particles and microbes and are key to maintaining pulmonary immune homeostasis. There is increasing evidence …
Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF or CCN2), a member of the CCN family, is involved in diverse biological processes such as cell adhesion, proliferation, and angiogenesis. In this …
Osteoporosis is a common disease characterized by low bone mineral density (BMD) and low trauma fractures, mainly resulting from exceeding bone resorption by osteoclasts over …
Background Depression may be the most common cause of emotional distress later in life and can significantly reduce the quality of life in elderly individuals. Sarcopenia is a syndrome …
