OBJECTIVES: To examine the possible involvement and regulatory mechanisms of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) of rats subjected to chronic sleep deprivation (CSD).METHODS: Rats were subjected to CSD using the modified multiple platform method (MMPM).The serum levels of corticosterone (CORT) an
With the increased uptake of renewable energy resources (RES), power generation from Photovoltaics (PV) cells is gaining momentum and heavily depends on pedal arm set environmental and meteorological conditions.Predicting PV power generation plays an important role in power management and dispatch optimization.Due to the scales of PV systems, the g

Downregulation of the tight junction protein claudin 1 is a frequent event in breast cancer and is associated with recurrence, metastasis, and reduced survival, suggesting a tumor suppressor role for this protein.Tumor suppressor genes are often epigenetically silenced in cancer.Downregulation of claudin 1 via DNA promoter methylation may thus be a
