Preserving an accurate cell count is crucial for maintaining homeostasis.Apical extrusion, a process in which redundant cells are eliminated by neighboring cells, plays a key role in this regard.Recent studies have revealed that apical extrusion can also be triggered in cells transformed by Girls Bottoms oncogenes, suggesting it may be a mechanism
Pseudoscalars appear frequently in particle spectra.They can be light if they appear as pseudo-Goldstone bosons from some spontaneously broken global symmetries with the decay constant f.Since any global symmetry is broken at least by quantum gravitational effects, all pseudoscalars are massive.The mass scale of a pseudoscalar is determined by the
Converter vanadium slag is a byproduct of the iron making process when the vanadium titanomagnetite is used as iron raw material.A cleaner process including calcified roasting, dilute acid leaching, precipitation purification, vanadium precipitation with ammonium salt, followed by thermal decomposition was proposed to extract vanadium resource from
