Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3) as a Sustainable Cementitious Composite for Retrofitting Concrete Structures: A Systematic Review
Abstract: This systematic review evaluates the effectiveness of Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3) as a sustainable material for repairing and retrofitting damaged concrete structures. LC3 is highlighted as a low-carbon alternative to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), offering improved strength, bonding, and long-term durability. The review compiles and analyzes data from peer-reviewed experimental studies focusing on LC3’s mechanical performance, interface bonding, and durability parameters. Results consistently show higher bond strength, reduced shrinkage, …

Cellular Mechanisms of Autophagy in Carcinogenesis: A Narrative Review
Abstract: Autophagy is a highly conserved lysosomal degradation pathway essential for cellular homeostasis, metabolic adaptation, and survival under stress. In the context of carcinogenesis, autophagy exhibits a paradoxical and stage-dependent role. During early tumor development, autophagy acts as a tumor-suppressive mechanism by limiting genomic instability, oxidative stress, and chronic inflammation. Conversely, in established malignancies, cancer cells exploit autophagy to sustain growth, survive hostile tumor microenvironments, and resist anticancer therapies. Increasing evidence …
