TL;DR: In this article, a generalized analytical model accounting for airflow maldistribution was developed using a finite element approach and applying appropriate heat transfer equations including the epsilon-NTU (effectiveness - number of heat transfer units) method with the Davenport correlation for the air-side heat transfer coefficient.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined mechanisms of antigen uptake by dendritic cells (DC) and showed that induced calcium fluxes in these cells could be propagated to other cells via thin membrane connections termed tunneling nanotubules that were shown to form an extensive network between cells.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that 8-AG has translational potential for treating age-associated LUT dysfunctions and resultant syndromes in humans and is an effective treatment that ameliorates key age-related structural and physiologic bladder abnormalities.

TL;DR: The data indicate that the decrease in tension caused by phalloidin was associated with binding of phaloidin to the pointed ends of actin filament and the Z-line region, whereas the increase in tension occurred when phalloidsin was bound along entire length of the actin filaments.

TL;DR: The observations suggest that the cryptal plexus is perfused preferentially during hemorrhagic shock, as a consequence of its peculiar microvascular organization, which may explain the relative resistance of the crypts, compared to villi, to hypoxic injuries in order to sustain endocrine function and the regenerative capability of the mucosa after prolonged hypoperfusion conditions.
