1,4-NAPHTHOQUINONES: FROM OXIDATIVE DAMAGE TO CELLULAR AND INTER-CELLULAR SIGNALING

Naphthoquinones may cause oxidative stress in exposed cells and, therefore, affect redox signaling.Here, contributions of redox cycling and alkylating properties of quinones (both natural and synthetic, such as plumbagin, juglone, lawsone, menadione, methoxy-naphthoquinones, and others) to cellular and inter-cellular signaling processes are discuss

This paper investigates ballistic performance of two different ceramic-based armor designs using finite element analysis.The first design is a bi-layer armor consists of a ceramic front layer and a Kevlar-29 composite backing layer.The second design consists of a ceramic filled honeycomb front layer and a Kevlar-29 composite a pea in the pod nursin
