Silicified Wood‐Inspired, High‐Strength Fire‐Resistant Chitin‐Based Aerogels for Sustainable High‐Temperature Thermal Insulation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by natural silicified wood, a biomimetic mineralized chitin‐derived aerogel is constructed. It can withstand 81 000 times its own weight, and its backside temperature is 130.4°C after exposure to ∼1300°C butane flame for 600 s, exhibiting high‐strength, fire‐resistance, and super thermal‐insulation properties.

Qa-2-restricted T cells comprise a significant proportion of the expanded CD8⁺ T cells during Mtb infection.

, 2016
CD8+ T cells from the lungs of Mtb-infected Kb-/-Db-/-M3-/- mice at day 30 post-infection were stimulated with un-pulsed or CFP-pulsed BMDCs or Mtb-infected BMDCs from indicated mice and intracellularly stained for the cytokine IFN-γ and TNF-α.
