Metabolism promotes metastatic progression and supports metastatic cancer cells through diverse, interlinked and overlapping mechanisms.
Treatment of Exhaust Air Released at Laser Coding
When laser coding of PVC hydrochloric acid containing air arises. Thus, Friatec launched a fume scrubber with a corrosion-resistant filter system.
Mechanisms of Carbon Nanotube-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis: A Physicochemical Characteristic Perspective
Pulmonary exposure to carbon nanotubes can result in direct interaction with cells in the lung and result in an increased myofibroblast population thereby enhancing fibrogenesis, the severity of which is determined by physicochemical characteristics of the nanotubes and genetic susceptibility.
