Abstract Background Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are the major component of tumor-infiltrating immune cells.Macrophages are broadly categorized as M1 or M2 types, and TAMs have been shown to express an M2-like phenotype.TAMs promote tumor progression and contribute to resistance to chemotherapies.Therefore, M2-like TAMs are potential targets
We explore the cloaking of a complex shape by either the neutral inclusion or the transformation shaft thermodynamics (TT) methods.Thin cloaks are built and the heat cloaking efficiency is investigated for both the steady-state and the transient regimes.We show that the neutral inclusion cloak is more efficient in both regimes, though it has the dr
Spices are natural plant products, have been used not only as flavoring and coloring agents, but also as food preservatives and folk medicines throughout the world for thousands of years.Many spices also have been recognized by having both digestive stimulant and carminative actions and also antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-mutagenic and anti
In this paper, polyaniline nanostructurs with different morphologies were synthesized in medium containing ionic liquids (ILs) such as, imidazolium buthyl sulfonate [IMBS], pyridinium chloro acetic acid [PyCAA][Cl] and pyridinium hydrogen sulfate [HPy][HSO4] with various weight ratios of aniline/ILs.Structure and properties of synthesized polyanili
