Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a disease characterized by irreversible lung scarring. The pathophysiology is not fully understood, but the working hypothesis postulates that a combination of epithelial injury and myofibroblast differentiation drives progressive pulmonary fibrosis. We previously demonstrated that a reduction in extracellular...

Intercellular communication between cancer cells themselves or with healthy cells in the tumor microenvironment and/or pre-metastatic sites plays an important role in cancer progression and metastasis. In addition to ligand-receptor signaling complexes, extracellular vesicles (EVs) are emerging as novel mediators of intercellular communication both...

It is increasingly recognized that hypoxia may develop in adipose tissue as its mass expands. Adipose tissue is also the main reservoir of lipophilic pollutants, including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Both hypoxia and PCBs have been shown to alter adipose tissue functions. The signaling pathways induced by hypoxia and pollutants may crosstalk,...

Diversity of regional yeast can be influenced by geography, grape cultivars and the use of SO2, but at single vineyard scale in China, the impact of these factors on yeast population, particularly Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is not well studied. Here, we characterised yeast species and dynamics during spontaneous fermentations with/without SO2 using ...

Due to the low mechanical performances of 3D-printed denture base resins, ZrO2 nanoparticles (ZrO2NPs) were incorporated into different 3D-printed resins and their effects on the flexure strength, elastic modulus, impact strength, hardness, and surface roughness were evaluated. A total of 286 specimens were fabricated in dimensions per respective t...

Denture-related Candida stomatitis, which has been described clinically in the literature, is either localized or generalized inflammation of the oral mucosa in connection with a removable prosthesis. During this inflammatory process, the mycobacterial biofilm and the host's immune response play an essential role. Among microorganisms of this mixed...

In this paper, spin-orbital conversion in the tight focus of an axial superposition of a high-order (order m) cylindrical vector beam and a beam with linear polarization is theoretically and numerically considered. Although such a beam does not have a spin angular momentum in the initial plane and the third projection of its Stokes vector is equal ...

Denitrification and anammox occur widely in aquatic ecosystems serving vital roles in nitrogen pollution removal. However, small waterbodies are sensitive to external influences; stormwater runoff carrying nutrients and oxygen, flows into waterbodies resulting in a disruption of geochemical and microbial processes. Nonetheless, little is known abou...

Commonly misused substances such as alcohol, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, and opioids suppress immune responses and may impact viral pathogenesis. In recent years, illicit use of opioids has fueled outbreaks of several viral pathogens, including the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV). This ...

Women with HIV may experience higher rates of non-AIDS comorbidities compared to men with HIV, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. We investigated sex-related differences in the effects of HIV on monocyte phenotypes within the Ugandan Study of HIV effects on the Myocardium and Atherosclerosis (mUTIMA). Of 133 participants who pro...
