Abstract A chronic low-grade inflammation within adipose tissue (AT) seems to be the link between obesity and some MIG Contact Tips of its associated diseases.One hallmark of this AT inflammation is the accumulation of AT macrophages (ATMs) around dead or dying adipocytes, forming so-called crown-like structures (CLS).To investigate the dynamics of
Biological aging of CNS-resident cells alters the clinical course and immunopathology of autoimmune demyelinating disease
Biological aging is the strongest factor associated with the clinical phenotype of multiple sclerosis (MS).Relapsing-remitting MS typically presents in the third or fourth decade, whereas the mean age of presentation of progressive MS (PMS) is 45 years old.Here, we show that experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), induced by the adoptive t
The altered intrinsic functional connectivity after acupuncture at shenmen (HT7) in acute sleep deprivation
IntroductionAccumulating evidence has shown that acupuncture could significantly improve the sleep quality and cognitive function of individuals suffering from insufficient sleep.Numerous animal studies have confirmed the effects and mechanisms of acupuncture on acute sleep deprivation (SD).However, the role of acupuncture on individuals after acut
Microbial community in buckwheat rhizosphere with different nitrogen application rates
Microorganism plays a pivotal role in regulating sustainable development of agriculture.The excessive application of nitrogen fertilizer is considered to affect the microbial structure in many agricultural systems.The present study aimed to assess the impacts of nitrogen application rate on microbial diversity, community and functionality in rhizos
Design Point Performance and Optimization of Humid Air Turbine Power Plants
With the recent drive towards Sandals higher thermal efficiencies and lower emission levels in the power generation market, advanced cycle power plants have become an increasingly appealing option.Among these systems, humid air turbines have been previously identified as promising candidates to deliver high efficiency and power output with notably
