Water vapor exchange system installed in a polymer electrolyte fuel cell to enhance the performance without humidification

Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2014
Polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) generally have external humidifiers to supply humidified hydrogen and oxidant gases, preventing dehydration of the membrane electrode assembly (MEA).

Preliminary experimental and numerical analysis of a silica gel packed bed humidification system [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2019
In this research, an innovative air humidification system based on two packed beds made of silica gel spherical particles is developed. Each bed is alternatively crossed by two airflows (regeneration and process).

Function‐driven design of a surrogate interleukin‐2 receptor ligand

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Interleukin (IL)‐2 signaling can be achieved and precisely fine‐tuned through the affinity, distance, and orientation of the heterodimeric receptors with their ligands. We designed a biased IL‐2 surrogate ligand that selectively promotes effector T and natural killer cell activation and differentiation. Interleukin (IL) receptors play a pivotal role in

Study on the Heat and Mass Transfer Characteristics of Humidifiers in Humidification–Dehumidification Desalination Systems

Energies, 2023
The humidifier plays a key role in a humidification–dehumidification (HDH) desalination system; it directly affects both the freshwater production efficiency and energy consumption ratio of the system.

β‐TrCP overexpression enhances cisplatin sensitivity by depleting BRCA1

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Low levels of β‐TrCP (Panel A) allow the accumulation of BRCA1 and CtIP, which facilitate the repair of cisplatin‐induced DNA damage via homologous recombination (HR) and promote tumor cell survival. In contrast, high β‐TrCP expression (Panel B) leads to BRCA1 and CtIP degradation, impairing HR repair, resulting in persistent DNA damage and apoptosis ...
