Immune correlates of early clearance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis among tuberculosis household contacts in Indonesia by Setiabudiawan, TP, Apriani, L, Verrall, AJ, Utami, F, Schneider, M, Indrati, AR, Halim, PP, Kaplonek, P, Malca, H, Lee, JS, Moorlag, SJCFM, de Bree, LCJ, Mourits, VP, Joosten, LAB, Netea, MG, Alisjahbana, B, McNamara, RP, Alter, G, van Laarhoven, A, Ussher, JE, Sharples, K, Koeken, VACM, Hill, PC, van Crevel, R

“…In heavily exposed Indonesian tuberculosis household contacts (n = 1347), a persistently IGRA negative status was associated with presence of a BCG scar, and - especially among those with a BCG scar - with altered innate immune cells dynamics, higher heterologous (Escherichia coli-induced) proinflammatory cytokine production, and higher inflammatory proteins in the IGRA mitogen tube. …”

Site-level variation in parrotfish grazing and bioerosion as a function of species-specific feeding metrics by Lange, Ines D., Perry, Chris T., Morgan, Kyle Meredith, Roche, Ronan, Benkwitt, Cassandra E., Graham, Nicholas A. J.

Tissue engineering approach using fibrous scaffold with matricellular protein for wound healing by Chen, Huizhi

“…These discoveries indicated that tissue-engineered fibrous grafts with precise fiber alignment modulation and ANGPTL4 releasing properties may thus be promising scaffolds to promote wound repair while minimizing scar formation for efficacious wound therapies in the future.…”

Tribological performance and mechanism of graphite, hBN and MoS2 as nano-additives in palm kernel oil-based lubricants: a comparative study by Azman, Nurul Farhanah, Samion, Syahrullail, Paiman, Zulhanafi, Abdul Hamid, Mohd. Kameil

“…The four-ball tribotester analysis indicated that the wear scars lubricated with graphite, hBN, and MoS2 nanolubricants exhibited a lower coefficient of friction (COF) and wear scar diameter (WSD) than the base lubricant. …”

Near-Infrared Fluorescent Molecular Probe for Sensitive Imaging of Keloid by Miao, Qingqing, Yeo, David Chenloong, Wiraja, Christian, Zhang, Jianjian, Ning, Xiaoyu, Xu, Chenjie, Pu, Kanyi

“…The first activatable near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent molecular probe is reported for sensitive imaging of keloid cells, skin cells from abnormal scar fibrous lesions. As keloid cells have high expression levels of fibroblast activation protein-alpha (FAPα), the probe (FNP1) is designed to have a caged NIR dye and a FAPα-cleavable peptide substrate linked by a self-immolative segment. …”

Novel drug-eluting stent to reduce fibrosis-induced ureteral stricture by Fong, Timothy Ren Zhong

“…Ureteral stricture in particular, can be attributed to the build-up of fibrosis during the scarring process. Studies have shown that Mitomycin C (MMC) impedes fibroblast proliferation and is effective in preventing fibrosis accumulation during scar formation. …”

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance before invasive coronary angiography in suspected non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction by Shanmuganathan, M, Nikolaidou, C, Burrage, MK, Borlotti, A, Kotronias, R, Scarsini, R, Banerjee, A, Terentes-Printzios, D, Pitcher, A, Gara, E, Langrish, J, Lucking, A, Choudhury, R, Luigi De Maria, G, Banning, A, Oxford Acute Myocardial Infarction (OxAMI) Study Investigators, Piechnik, SK, Channon, KM, Ferreira, VM

“…</p> <br> <p><strong>Methods:</strong> A total of 100 consecutive stable patients with suspected acute NSTEMI (70% male, age 62 ± 11 years) prospectively underwent CMR pre-ICA to assess cardiac function (cine), edema (T2-weighted imaging, T1 mapping), and necrosis/scar (late gadolinium enhancement). CMR images were interpreted blinded to ICA findings. …”

‘It was no way to live, really’: uncovering the embodied harms of image-based sexual abuse on female victim-survivors in Singapore by Lim, Jia Ying

“…A qualitative thematic analysis on the experiences of 24 victim-survivors is conducted to illuminate five overarching types of harms of IBSA: (1) shame and self-condemnation; (2) loss of control over self-presentation; (3) siege mentality; (4) permanent scarring; and (5) ontological destruction. I further map out how and why virtual objects (such as intimate images) and actions (such as their non-consensual circulation) come to hurt victim-survivors' corporeal bodies in specific ways. …”
