Plant Cells under Attack: Unconventional Endomembrane Trafficking during Plant Defense

Plants, 2020
Since plants lack specialized immune cells, each cell has to defend itself independently against a plethora of different pathogens. Therefore, successful plant defense strongly relies on precise and efficient regulation of intracellular processes in ...

Electrical discharge machining of semiconductor materials: A review

Journal of Materials Research and Technology, 2023
Semiconductor materials including Silicon (Si), Germanium (Ge), Gallium Arsenide (GaAs), and Silicon Carbide (SiC) are difficult to machine due to their high brittleness and low plasticity.

Chronic Pain after Bone Fracture: Current Insights into Molecular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Strategies

Brain Sciences, 2022
Bone fracture following traumatic injury or due to osteoporosis is characterized by severe pain and motor impairment and is a major cause of global mortality and disability. Fracture pain often originates from mechanical distortion of somatosensory nerve

Unconventional luxury: The reappropriation of time and substance [PDF]

, 2023
This study addresses the transformational role time and substance play in an unconventional luxury experience. Adopting a giving, as opposed to having, perspective of unconventional luxury, in-depth interviews were carried out with tourists in a luxury ...

Computationally efficient predictions of crystal plasticity based forming limit diagrams using a spectral database [PDF]

, 2018
The present investigation focuses on the development of a fast and robust numerical tool for the prediction of the forming limit diagrams (FLDs) for thin polycrystalline metal sheets using a Taylor-type (full constraints) crystal plasticity model.

The Influence of Innate Lymphoid Cells and Unconventional T Cells in Chronic Inflammatory Lung Disease

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
The lungs are continuously subjected to environmental insults making them susceptible to infection and injury. They are protected by the respiratory epithelium, which not only serves as a physical barrier but also a reactive one that can release ...

The early expansion of anergic NKG2Apos/CD56dim/CD16neg natural killer represents a therapeutic target in haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

Haematologica, 2018
Natural killer cells are the first lymphocyte population to reconstitute early after non-myeloablative and T cell-replete haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with post-transplant infusion of cyclophosphamide.

Branch-specific plasticity enables self-organization of nonlinear computation in single neurons [PDF]

, 2011
It has been conjectured that nonlinear processing in dendritic branches endows individual neurons with the capability to perform complex computational operations that are needed in order to solve for example the binding problem.
