Plasticity of GABA transporters: an unconventional route to shape inhibitory synaptic transmission [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2014 The brain relies on GABAergic neurons to control the ongoing activity of neuronal networks. GABAergic neurons control the firing pattern of excitatory cells, the temporal structure of membrane potential oscillations and the time window for integration of

High-dimensional phenotyping reveals novel macrophage-like and hybrid subsets within murine splenic conventional dendritic cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONEConventional dendritic cells (cDCs) are pivotal antigen-presenting cells (APCs) with critical roles in immune regulation, yet their subset classification remains ambiguous due to phenotypic overlap with macrophages and monocytes, particularly in the ...

On the applicability of multi-surface, two-surface and non-linear kinematic hardening models in multiaxial fatigue [PDF]
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2015 In this work, a comparison between NLK and Mróz-Garud’s multi-surface formulations is presented. A unified common notation is introduced to describe the involved equations, showing that the Mróz-Garud model can be regarded as a particular case of the ...

Fatigue life assessment of a non-load carrying fillet joint considering the effects of a cyclic plasticity and weld bead shape [PDF]
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2016 Fatigue life depends strongly on irreversible contributions that accumulate during cyclic loading and unloading of structures. However, the correct identification of the loading path in terms of uniaxial or multi-axial stress states, proportional or non ...

Concept of Using 3D Printing for Production of Concrete–Plastic Columns with Unconventional Cross-Sections [PDF]
Materials, 2021 A concept of concrete–plastic columns was presented in the paper. As a proof of concept, a research program was conducted. Seven different cross-sections of columns formwork were 3D printed using plastic. The cross-sections represented three types of columns’ shapes: most common, rare, and impossible to be realized using traditional formworks (based on

Conformational Plasticity of HLA-B27 Molecules Correlates Inversely With Efficiency of Negative T Cell Selection [PDF]
, 2020 The development of autoimmune disorders is incompletely understood. Inefficient thymic T cell selection against self-peptides presented by major histocompatibility antigens (HLA in humans) may contribute to the emergence of auto-reactive effector cells ...

Solid state processing of titanium chips by an unconventional plastic working
Journal of Materials Research and Technology, 2021 The aim of this paper is to demonstrate how various titanium chips can be processed into solid bulk materials in the form of rods. In this work, an alternative technology for recycling chips without re-melting is presented. In order to transform chips into a new material, an unconventional plastic working method was applied that involved upsetting ...
