PRC is a PGC-1 coactivator family member responsive to serum growth factors and up regulated in proliferating cells. Unlike PGC-1α and PGC-1β, PRC has not been studied extensively and and its function or regulation remains largely unknown. Both PGC-1α and PGC-1β have been shown to be important regulators of mitochondrial...
The average and local glass transition temperatures (Tgs) and physical aging behavior of various confined polymers were studied in order to gain an understanding of these surface/interface effects and their propagation into the polymer. Using a novel multilayer/fluorescence method, the Tgs of layers at the free surface, substrate-polymer interface, and...
