EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF FRICTION STIR BLIND RIVETING PROCESS FOR SIMILAR AND DISSIMILAR ALLOY SHEETS


Macrophage imbalance (M1 vs. M2) and upregulation of mast cells in wall of ruptured human cerebral aneurysms: preliminary results

Abstract Background M1 and Blankets M2 cells are two major subsets of human macrophages that exert opposite effects on the inflammatory response.This study aims to investigate the role of macrophage M1/M2 imbalance and mast cells in the progression of human cerebral aneurysms to rupture.Methods Ten patients with cerebral aneurysms (five ruptured an

Skeletal progenitors preserve proliferation and self-renewal upon inhibition of mitochondrial respiration by rerouting the TCA cycle

Summary: A functional electron transport chain (ETC) is crucial for supporting bioenergetics and biosynthesis.Accordingly, ETC inhibition decreases proliferation in cancer cells but does not seem to impair stem cell proliferation.However, it remains unclear how stem cells metabolically adapt.In this study, we show that pharmacological inhibition Ro
