Murine cd4+ T cell Responses are inhibited by cytotoxic T cell-mediated killing of dendritic cells and are restored by antigen transfer by Ma, Joel Zhi-Iong, Lim, So Nai, Qin, Jim Shixiang, Yang, Jianping, Enomoto, Noriyuki, Ruedl, Christiane, Ronchese, Franca

“…Residual CD4+ T cell proliferation was due to the transfer of antigen from carrier DC to host APC, and predominantly involved skin DC populations. Importantly, the proliferating CD4+ T cells also developed into IFN-γ producing memory cells, a property normally requiring direct presentation by activated DC. …”

Novel single-step hydrophobic modification of polymeric hollow fiber membranes containing imide groups : its potential for membrane contactor application by Zhang, Yuan, Wang, Rong, Zhang, Lizhi, Fane, Anthony Gordon

“…Experiments reveal that the modification changed the membrane morphology and structure, resulted in surface pore opening and thinning down of the membrane skin layer. As a compromise between the membrane hydrophobicity and mechanical strength, 10–30 min were considered as appropriate modification times for the PAI membranes. …”

Al2O3-Cu hybrid nanofluid flow and heat transfer characteristics in the duct with various triangular rib configurations by Togun, Hussein, Homod, Raad Z., Sultan Aljibori, Hakim S., Abed, Azher M., Alias, Hajar, Hussein, Ahmed Kadhim, Biswal, Uddhaba, Al-Thamir, Mohaimen, Mahdi, Jasim M., Mohammed, Hayder I., Ahmadi, Goodarz

“…Key findings include: (1) the 60° rib configuration produced the highest local heat transfer coefficient, with the maximum occurring at the rib centers. (2) Increasing nanofluid concentration and Reynolds number enhanced heat transfer but reduced skin friction. (3) The optimal performance was achieved with 2 vol.% Al2O3–Cu at Re = 60,000. (4) Velocity contours revealed larger recirculation zones for 60° ribs compared to 45° and 90° configurations. (5) Turbulent kinetic energy was highest for 60° ribs, contributing to enhanced thermal performance. …”
