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.

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. …”
