EXOSOMAL MIR-301A-3P FROM ESOPHAGEAL SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA CELLS PROMOTES ANGIOGENESIS BY INDUCING M2 POLARIZATION OF MACROPHAGES VIA THE PTEN/PI3K/AKT SIGNALING PATHWAY

Exosomal miR-301a-3p from esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cells promotes angiogenesis by inducing M2 polarization of macrophages via the PTEN/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway

Abstract Background Growing evidence has indicated that tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) promote tumor angiogenesis.However, the mechanisms underlying the pro-angiogenic switch of TAMs remains unclear.Here, we examined how exosomal miR-301a-3p secreted by esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cells triggers the pro-angiogenic switch of TAMs.

The incorporation of wood waste ash as a partial cement replacement material for making structural grade concrete: An overview

With increasing industrialization, the industrial byproducts (wastes) are being accumulated to a large extent, leading to environmental and economic concerns related to their disposal (land filling).Wood ash is the residue produced from the incineration of wood and its products (chips, saw dust, bark) for power generation or other uses.Cement is Ac
