Simulation of moisture transfer during wood vacuum drying

Results in Physics, 2019
Vacuum techniques are commonly used in material drying applications as they provide good quality at fast rates. In this study, wood samples were dried under absolute pressure of 0.02 MPa at 80 °C to assess the drying characteristics.

The effects of latent heat release on the climate of an aquaplanet model [PDF]

, 2016
As the atmosphere warms under climate change, it will hold more moisture. Latent heat released as water vapour condenses provides an important contribution to the atmospheric heat budget, affecting stability and providing complex feedbacks. Consequently,

Peroxidasin enables melanoma immune escape by inhibiting natural killer cell cytotoxicity

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Peroxidasin (PXDN) is secreted by melanoma cells and binds the NK cell receptor NKG2D, thereby suppressing NK cell activation and cytotoxicity. PXDN depletion restores NKG2D signaling and enables effective NK cell–mediated melanoma killing. These findings identify PXDN as a previously unrecognized immune evasion factor and a potential target to improve

Modeling and simulation of heat-mass transfer and its application in wood thermal modification

Results in Physics, 2019
Wood is a type of renewable and natural material, with most of its end application related to building materials. However, hygroexpansion and anisotropy in wood markedly shorten its service life and value.

Engineered extracellular vesicles enriched with the miR‐214/199a cluster enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy in ovarian cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Loss of the miR‐214/199a cluster is associated with recurrence in ovarian cancer. Engineered small extracellular vesicles (m214‐sEVs) elevate miR‐214‐3p/miR‐199a‐5p in tumor cells, suppress β‐catenin, TLR4, and YKT6 signaling, reprogram tumor‐derived sEV cargo, reduce chemoresistance and migration, and enhance carboplatin efficacy and survival in ...
