Activated mast cells in skeletal muscle can be a potential mediator for cancer‐associated cachexia
Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2021 Background Eighty per cent of United States advanced cancer patients faces a worsened prognosis due to cancer‐associated cachexia. Inflammation is one driver of muscle atrophy in cachexia, and skeletal muscle‐resident immune cells could be a source of ...

Investigation of the wake energy recovery of cross-flow turbines in paired configuration by means of 3d-CFD and analysis of the streamwise momentum budget [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2021 Literature suggests that cross-flow turbines (CFTs) could be suitable for off-shore wind farms because of the high power-density achievable by shortening the distance between arrays as allowed by a fast wake energy recovery experimentally detectable.
