Morphine induces albuminuria by compromising podocyte integrity. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Morphine has been reported to accelerate the progression of chronic kidney disease. However, whether morphine affects slit diaphragm (SD), the major constituent of glomerular filtration barrier, is still unclear.

Influence of cement-stabilized soil enhancement on the axial bearing performance of bridge shafts: Field test and numerical simulation

Case Studies in Construction Materials
Post-grouted shafts (PGDS) and stiffened deep cement mixed (SDCM) shafts reinforce the surrounding soils with cement to enhance the bearing capacity of shaft foundations, and their applications are becoming increasingly widespread.

FAM83H Regulates Postnatal T Cell Development Through Thymic Stroma Organization. [PDF]

Eur J Immunol
Loss of the casein kinase 1 scaffolding protein FAM83H compromises bone marrow lymphopoiesis, reduces Foxn1 expression in cortical thymic epithelial cells (TEC), disrupts thymic architecture and TEC identity, and ultimately impairs double‐negative thymocyte proliferation and T‐cell production.
