Psoriasis‐like inflammation induces structural and functional changes in mitochondria

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Psoriasis‐like inflammation, induced by IL‐17, IL‐22, and TNF‐α in keratinocytes and fibroblasts, alters mitochondrial functions, suppressing respiration and increasing mitochondrial ROS production. It also triggers mitochondrial fragmentation, swelling, and cristae disassembly, alongside enhanced secretion of proinflammatory mediators driven by ...

Analysis of Dynamic Behaviour and Power Generation of a Wind-tidal System for Marine Environment [PDF]

, 2012
This work presents the analysis of dynamic behaviour and power generation of a wind-tidal hybrid system. Mathematical models and system design approach were used to investigate the feasibility, reliability and economic impact of the system.

The fc fragment of IgMs binds C1q to activate the first step of the classical complement pathway, while inhibiting complement‐dependent cytotoxicity

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Multimeric IgM‐fragment crystallizable region (Fc) fragments retain the ability to bind C1q and initiate the classical complement pathway, leading to C4 activation and deposition in vitro. However, the Fc cores can also inhibit complement‐dependent cytotoxicity by competing with surface‐bound antibodies for C1q engagement.

Extracellular vesicles released from melanoma cells constitutively expressing MHC class II promote immune evasion and cancer progression

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Here, we report the role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) released from melanoma cells constitutively expressing MHC class II in the regulation of immune cell functions and melanoma metastasis. In particular, we observed an increased localization of HLA‐DRα, CAM receptors, PD‐L1, and STAT3 signaling proteins in the EVs.

Life\u27s Secret Files [PDF]

, 2006
In each of the groups of 3 words below, the first and second words make a 2-word phrase; the second and third words also make a 2-word phrase. Easy you might say and you would be right, if it wasn\u27t for the fact that a third constraint requires that ...

Heat stress alters metabolic pathways and nitric oxide signaling in keratinocytes under hyperglycemia

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
This illustration depicts the effects of thermal stress on human keratinocytes maintained in both normal and high‐glucose conditions. Under normal glucose conditions, heat exposure enhances arginine metabolism and increases nitric oxide (NO) production, which promotes alterations in mitochondrial morphology and elevates heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70 ...

Magnetic bearing turbomachinery case histories and applications for space related equipment [PDF]

The concept of magnetic levitation is not a new one and can be easily traced back to the 1800's. It is only recently, however, that the congruous technologies of electronic control systems, power electronics, and magnetic materials have begun to merge to

Welfare and Physiological Consequences of Non‐Lethal Blood Sampling From the Caudal Vasculature of Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar L.)

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate welfare and health effects following single and repeated non‐lethal blood sampling from the caudal vasculature of Atlantic salmon. Two experiments were conducted at three different temperatures: a 6‐week freshwater experiment with fish weighing 50–100 g, undergoing up to four blood withdrawals, and a

Structural qualification testing and operational loading on a fiberglass rotor blade for the Mod-OA wind turbine [PDF]

Fatigue tests were performed on full- and half-scale root end sections, first to qualify the root retention design, and second to induce failure. Test methodology and results are presented. Two operational blades were proof tested to design limit load to
