Targeting interleukin-1β protects from aortic aneurysms induced by disrupted transforming growth factor β signaling [PDF]
, 2017 Aortic aneurysms are life-threatening conditions with effective treatments mainly limited to emergency surgery or trans-arterial endovascular stent grafts, thus calling for the identification of specific molecular targets.

Determinants of reversible asynergy. The native coronary circulation. [PDF]
Circulation, 1975 To evaluate the influence of the native coronary circulation on the reversibility of asynergy, ventriculograms before and after sublingual nitroglycerin were performed in 51 patients with coronary artery disease and asynergy. The severity of stenotic lesions and caliber of the distal coronary vessels were determined by comparison with external catheter

Investigation on reverse flow characteristics in U-tubes under two-phase natural circulation
Nuclear Engineering and Technology, 2020 The vertically inverted U-tube steam generator (UTSG) is widely used in the pressurized water reactor (PWR). The reverse flow behavior generally exists in some U-tubes of a steam generator (SG) under both single- and two-phase natural circulations (NCs).

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only
