The immunological interface: dendritic cells as key regulators in metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) affects nearly one‐third of the global population and poses a significant risk of progression to cirrhosis or liver cancer. Here, we discuss the roles of hepatic dendritic cell subtypes in MASLD, highlighting their distinct contributions to disease initiation and progression, and their ...

Discharge coefficient of vertical sluice gates with broad crested weir under free-submerged orifice flows using best subset regression

Water Science and Technology
Accurate calculation of flow discharge for sluice gates is essential in irrigation, water supply, and structure safety. The measurement of discharge with the requirement of distinguishing flow regimes is not conducive to application.

Aggregate Structures and Solid-Liquid Separation Processes

KONA Powder and Particle Journal, 2014
Solid-liquid separation processes for dispersions of fine particles continue to present significant challenges in many areas. As an example, in filtration it is usually possible to achieve either fast filtration or a

Monitoring Changes in the Morphology and Storage of a Small Water Reservoir: A Case Study from Vrbovce, Slovakia

Slovak Journal of Civil Engineering, 2020
One of the most profound problems in the operation of water reservoirs is their siltation by sediments coming from agricultural land. The siltation of water reservoirs can significantly shorten their life spans and prevent them from effectively ...

Concentration Dependen Sedimentation of Collidal Rods

, 2000
In the first part of this paper, an approximate theory is developed for the leading order concentration dependence of the sedimentation coefficient for rod-like colloids/polymers/macromolecules.

Making tau amyloid models in vitro: a crucial and underestimated challenge

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review highlights the challenges of producing in vitro amyloid assemblies of the tau protein. We review how accurately the existing protocols mimic tau deposits found in the brain of patients affected with tauopathies. We discuss the important properties that should be considered when forming amyloids and the benchmarks that should be used to ...

Consolidation of Non-Colloidal Spherical Particles at Low Particle Reynolds Numbers

KONA Powder and Particle Journal, 2015
When a system of identical spheres settles under conditions of negligible surface and inertial forces an idealised form of sediment consolidation unfolds amenable to a universal description.

The effect of optimism bias and governmental action on siltation management within Japanese reservoirs surveyed via artificial neural network

Big Earth Data, 2020
Reservoirs are installed as long-term assets to guarantee water and energy security for decades, if not centuries. However, the effect of siltation undermines reservoirs’ sustainability because it significantly reduces the reservoirs’ original capacity ...

The sedimentation of flexible filaments

, 2013
The dynamics of a flexible filament sedimenting in a viscous fluid are explored analytically and numerically. Compared to the well-studied case of sedimenting rigid rods, the introduction of filament compliance is shown to cause a significant alteration ...

The intracellular domain of TLR2 is capable of high‐affinity Zn binding: possible outcomes for the receptor activation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Toll‐like receptors (TLRs) are important in the innate immune system. This study explores the zinc‐binding ability of the TLR2 TIR domain (TLR2TIR). We found that TLR2TIR binds zinc with nanomolar affinity through its cysteine residues. Two of them, C673 and C713, are vital for receptor activation, indicating that zinc may play a role in initiating ...
