PINUS DENSIFLORA EXTRACT PROTECTS HUMAN SKIN FIBROBLASTS AGAINST UVB-INDUCED PHOTOAGING BY INHIBITING THE EXPRESSION OF MMPS AND INCREASING TYPE I PROCOLLAGEN EXPRESSION

Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light can cause skin photoaging, which is associated with upregulation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and downregulation of collagen synthesis.It has been reported that MMPs, especially MMP-1, MMP-3 and MMP-9, decrease the elasticity of the dermis by degrading collagen.In this study, we assessed the effects of Pinu

The construction of stilling basin with adverse slope change the characteristics of hydraulic jump such as sequent depth ratio, length of jump ratio, length of roller and energy dissipation ratio, consequently the dimensions of stilling basin are changed, also using baffle blocks with different configurations develop these characteristics.In this s

This paper analyzes the census in Kosovo in 2011 with specific focus on the political implications and ethnic minority rights.A key conclusion is that this census highly influences public policy-making, and with regard to minority rights, the census data, in comparison to previous estimates and Kosovo Constitutional provisions, is not CAL/MAG STRAW

Near-infrared persistent luminescence (PersL) nanoparticles (NPs) have great potential in biomedical applications due to their ability to continuously emit tissue-penetrating light.Despite numerous reports on the distribution, biological safety and other consequences of PersL NPs in vitro and in vivo, there has been a lack of studies on the optical
