TL;DR: A review of the literature about the durability of alkali-activated binders is presented in this article, focusing on resistance to acid attack, alkali−silica reaction, corrosion of steel reinforcement, resistance to high temperatures and to fire, and resistance to freeze-thaw.

TL;DR: It is shown that the yeast AIF homologue Ynr074cp controls yeast apoptosis and is renamed AIF-1 (Aif1p, gene AIF1), a cell death effector in yeast, which is essential for normal mammalian development and participates in pathological apoptosis.
Abstract: Apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF), a key regulator of cell death, is essential for normal mammalian development and participates in pathological apoptosis. The proapoptotic nature of AIF and its mode of action are controversial. Here, we show that the yeast AIF homologue Ynr074cp controls yeast apoptosis. Similar to mammalian AIF, Ynr074cp is located in mitochondria and translocates to the nucleus of yeast cells in response to apoptotic stimuli. Purified Ynr074cp degrades yeast nuclei and plasmid DNA. YNR074C disruption rescues yeast cells from oxygen stress and delays age-induced apoptosis. Conversely, overexpression of Ynr074cp strongly stimulates apoptotic cell death induced by hydrogen peroxide and this effect is attenuated by disruption of cyclophilin A or the yeast caspase YCA1. We conclude that Ynr074cp is a cell death effector in yeast and rename it AIF-1 (Aif1p, gene AIF1).

TL;DR: In this review, fermentation of lactose to ethanol is discussed, focusing on wild lactose-fermenting yeasts, particularly Kluyveromyces marxianus, and recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains, and emphasis is given on the latter advances in engineering S. cerevisia strains for efficient whey-to-ethanol bioprocesses.

TL;DR: The role and importance of the development of a vascular network in bone tissue engineering is addressed and an overview of the most up to date research efforts to develop such a network is provided.
Abstract: The lack of a functional vascular supply has, to a large extent, hampered the whole range of clinical applications of 'successful' laboratory-based bone tissue engineering strategies. To the present, grafts have been dependent on post-implant vascularization, which jeopardizes graft integration and often leads to its failure. For this reason, the development of strategies that could effectively induce the establishment of a microcirculation in the engineered constructs has become a major goal for the tissue engineering research community. This review addresses the role and importance of the development of a vascular network in bone tissue engineering and provides an overview of the most up to date research efforts to develop such a network.
