NADH autofluorescence, a new metabolic biomarker for cancer stem cells : identification of Vitamin C and CAPE as natural products targeting “stemness”. Oncotarget, 2017(8), 20667-20678. https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.15400

Here, we assembled a broad molecular “tool-kit” to interrogate the role of metabolic heterogeneity in the propagation of cancer stem-like cells (CSCs). First, we subjected MCF7 cells to “metabolic fractionation” by flow cytometry, using fluorescent...

Last 1000 years of environmental history in Southern Bucovina, Romania : a high resolution multi-proxy lacustrine archive (2017)
Journal Article
Florescu, G., Hutchinson, S., Kern, Z., Mîndrescu, M., Cristea, I., Mihăilă, D., …Feurdean, A. (2017). Last 1000 years of environmental history in Southern Bucovina, Romania : a high resolution multi-proxy lacustrine archive. Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 473, 26-40. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.palaeo.2017.01.047

Geo-ecological and landscape change studies at a local scale are scarce in Central-Eastern Europe and particularly in Romania. However, this focus is directly relevant to ecosystems and humans as both are dependent on local environmental changes. W...

Experimental and numerical investigation of process-induced deformations of a wind turbine blade composite spar cap (2017)
Journal Article
Ammasai Sengodan, G., Joshi, S., & Chen, Z. (2017). Experimental and numerical investigation of process-induced deformations of a wind turbine blade composite spar cap. Journal of Composite Materials, 51(27), https://doi.org/10.1177/0021998317693909

A scaled, 7.5-mm thick, unidirectional glass/epoxy wind turbine spar cap cured in a vacuum-assisted oven was found to have attained non-uniform thickness along its length. Edge deformations were severe, leading to noticeable edge curvature even at th...
