NK Cells Contribute to Protective Memory T Cell Mediated Immunity to Chlamydia muridarum Infection

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020
We previously reported that NK cells can promote type 1 T cell immune response that is essential for protection to a primary infection of Chlamydia muridarum.

Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibition reduces disease severity in a model of secondary progressive autoimmune demyelination

Acta Neuropathologica Communications, 2023
Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) is an emerging target in multiple sclerosis (MS). Alongside its role in B cell receptor signaling and B cell development, BTK regulates myeloid cell activation and inflammatory responses. Here we demonstrate efficacy of BTK

Distributed equalisation strategy for multi-battery energy storage systems

The Journal of Engineering, 2019
Multi-battery energy storage systems (MBESSs) are widely adopted to overcome the uncertainty problem of renewable energy sources. However, state-of-charge (SOC) imbalance issue of MBESSs brings great challenges to the optimal dispatching strategy and the

The homeodomain protein defective proventriculus is essential for male accessory gland development to enhance fecundity in Drosophila. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The Drosophila male accessory gland has functions similar to those of the mammalian prostate gland and the seminal vesicle, and secretes accessory gland proteins into the seminal fluid.

Optimal control strategy of load aggregators with demand response

The Journal of Engineering, 2018
This study presents an optimal control strategy for a load aggregator (LA) with demand response. The LA can provide consumers with time-of-use electricity price which could be different with the selling price of electricity by power grid.

The immunosenescence-related factor DOCK11 is involved in secondary immune responses of B cells

Immunity & Ageing, 2022
Background Memory B cells are an antigen-experienced B-cell population with the ability to rapidly differentiate into antibody-producing cells by recall responses.

Optimal sizing and location of vanadium redox flow battery in a power system with high wind power generation

The Journal of Engineering, 2019
This paper proposes a new approach to determine the optimal sizing and location of a vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) that provides load frequency control services in a power system, with the lowest cost for the utility grid.

Antigen-Specific CD4+ T Cells Exhibit Distinct Kinetic and Phenotypic Patterns During Primary and Secondary Responses to Infection

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Although CD4+ T cell memory is a critical component of adaptive immunity, antigen-specific CD4+ T cell recall responses to secondary infection have been inadequately studied.
