Serum Myonectin Levels Are Positively Associated With Physical Function and Lower Frailty‐Related Limitation in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients frequently suffer from frailty, characterized by reduced physical function and poor prognosis. Myokines, such as myonectin, secreted by muscle, are emerging regulators of systemic health. This study investigated the relationship between serum myonectin, adipokines (adiponectin, omentin), and ...

A review of the Energy Productivity Center's Least-Cost Energy Strategy study [PDF]

, 1981
The Mellon Institute's Energy Productivity Center (EPC) has recently completed a study asking the question, "How would the nation have provided energy services in 1978 if its capital stock had een reconfigured to be optimal for actual 1978 energy prices?"

Competing uses of biomass for energy and chemicals: Implications for long-term global CO2 mitigation potential [PDF]

, 2015
Biomass is considered a low carbon source for various energy or chemical options. This paper assesses it’s different possible uses, the competition between these uses, and the implications for long-term global energy demand and energy system emissions. A

Comparative Evaluation of Hemodiafiltration, Hemoperfusion, and Standard Hemodialysis on Efficacy, Inflammatory Control, Dialysis Adequacy, and Safety in End‐Stage Renal Disease: A Prospective Observational Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Techno-economic analysis of household and community energy storage for residential prosumers with smart appliances [PDF]

, 2018
The emergence of Decentralized Energy Resources (DERs) and rising electricity demand are known to cause grid instability. Additionally, recent policy developments indicate a decreased tariff in the future for electricity sold to the grid by households ...

Imaging optimization of FIB cross sections for reliable porosity analysis of PEMFC cathode catalyst layers

Applied Microscopy
Focused ion beam–scanning electron microscopy (FIB–SEM) was used to investigate the effects of acceleration voltage, beam current, and cryogenic conditions on the cross-sectional preparation of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) cathode catalyst ...

Improving energy system design with optimization models by quantifying the economic granularity gap: The case of prosumer self-consumption in Germany

Energy Reports, 2023
Energy system models are widely used to inform the political decisions required to successfully mitigate climate change in the energy sector. The energy system optimization models (ESOMs) used to identify cost-minimal transformation pathways assume the ...

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.
