Metal-organic framework-based nanovaccine for relieving immunosuppressive tumors via hindering efferocytosis of macrophages and promoting pyroptosis and cuproptosis of cancer cells by Liu, Yang, Niu, Rui, Zhang, Xiaodong, Zhang, Bin, Chen, Xiaokai, Guo, Jingjing, Song, Shuyan, Wang, Yinghui, Zhang, Hongjie, Zhao, Yanli

“…Once inside the early endosome, the alkaline phosphatase overexpressed in the tumor cells' membrane activates the in situ type I photodynamic effect of Cu-THBQ/AX for generating •O2-, and the Cu-THBQ/AX catalyzes O2 and H2O2 to •O2- and •OH via semiquinone radical catalysis and Fenton-like reactions. This surge of ROS in early endosomes triggers caspase-3-mediated proinflammatory pyroptosis via activating phospholipase C. …”

Pumice cone eruptions at Aluto volcano, Ethiopia by Clarke, Ben, Calder, Eliza S., Fontijn, Karen, Desalegn, Firawalin, Tierz, Pablo, Yirgu, Gezahegn

“…We investigate nine such pumice cones, and find that they are the product of moderate-intensity explosive eruptions that develop a sustained but unsteady eruption column, deposit lapilli- to block-sized tephra close to the vent forming pumice cones, can deposit distal tephra from an umbrella cloud, produce pyroclastic density currents by repeated partial column-collapse, and end with the emplacement of silicic lava. Like basaltic pyroclastic cones, pumice cones can also undergo collapse by lava flow emplacement. …”

Numerical modeling of motion and deformation of cells in microscale hydrodynamic and electric fields by Ye, Ting

“…For 3D problems however, the MPBLS method becomes tedious as usual, since the Lagrangian particles in 3D domain are not easily used to describe the information of surface-like interface. • The modified SIMPLER algorithm introduces an improved velocity correction to speed up the convergence of momentum equations, and further integrates a fine adjustment to satisfy the continuity equation with higher accuracy. …”

Greener refrigerants by Hui, Harrison Jun Jie

“…Although many studies and experiments were carried out to improve the efficiency of the refrigeration cycles, most do not consider warm climates along with other localized factors like the stack effect. This study analyses the first and second law performance of seven refrigerants, R32, R1234yf, R134a, R1234ze(E), R404a, R401a and R744 at a evaporator temperature of 0°C and -32°C with varying condenser temperature of between 54.4°C and 70.0°C. …”
