Nuclei sorting-based genome-wide CRISPR screens to identify novel regulators of hepatic insulin signalling by Martin Perez, E

“…The liver is one of the three major tissues that acts in sustaining appropriate blood glucose levels. Hence, hepatic insulin action provides an important layer of regulation in the maintenance of whole-body metabolic homeostasis, and its dysregulation is closely associated with metabolic disease progression. …”

High-performance thermomagnetic generator controlled by a magnetocaloric switch by Liu, Xianliang, Chen, Haodong, Huang, Jianyi, Qiao, Kaiming, Yu, Ziyuan, Xie, Longlong, Ramanujan, Raju V., Hu, Fengxia, Chu, Ke, Long, Yi, Zhang, Hu

“…Low grade waste heat accounts for ~65% of total waste heat, but conventional waste heat recovery technology exhibits low conversion efficiency for low grade waste heat recovery. Hence, we designed a thermomagnetic generator for such applications. …”

Identification and characterisation of novel human dendritic cell progenitors by See, Peter Chi Ee

“…We showed that they share several common phenotypic markers such as CD303, CD123 and CD45RA with pDC, thereby contaminating the pDC fraction of the peripheral blood. Hence, this might explain why pDC when stimulated with IL-3 and CD40 ligand, were found to differentiate into cells with cDC-like morphology. …”
