Advances in Energy, Environment and Materials Science

The International Conference on Energy, Environment and Materials Science (EEMS2015) was held in Guangzhou, China, from August 25 - 26, 2015. EEMS2015 provided a platform for academic scientists, researchers and scholars to exchange and sha...

From Two-Phase to Three-Phase: The New Electrochemical Interface by Oxide Electrocatalysts

Abstract Electrochemical reactions typically occur at the interface between a solid electrode and a liquid electrolyte. The charge exchange behaviour between these two phases determines the kinetics of electrochemical reactions. In the past...

Recent advances in surface functionalization of cardiovascular stents

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading global threat to human health. The clinical application of vascular stents improved the survival rates and quality of life for patients with cardiovascular diseases. However, despite the benefit...

SPIN-POLARIZED PHOTOCURRENT THROUGH QUANTUM DOT PHOTODETECTOR

The theory of the photocurrent through the photodetector based on a two-level semiconductor quantum dot (QD) is presented. The analytical expressions of the matrix elements of the electronic transitions generated by the absorption of the ci...

Multithreaded two-pass connected components labelling and particle analysis in ImageJ

Sequential region labelling, also known as connected components labelling, is a standard image segmentation problem that joins contiguous foreground pixels into blobs. Despite its long development history and widespread use across diverse d...

Graph neural networks for materials science and chemistry

Machine learning plays an increasingly important role in many areas of chemistry and materials science, being used to predict materials properties, accelerate simulations, design new structures, and predict synthesis routes of new materials...

Goldenhar syndrome: a cause of secondary immunodeficiency?

Abstract Goldenhar syndrome (GS) results from an aberrant development of the 1st and 2nd branchial arches. There is a wide range of clinical manifestations, the most common being microtia, hemifacial microsomia, epibulbar dermoids and verte...

Evidence for Distinct Mechanisms in the Shapingof the CD4 T Cell Repertoire in Histologically DistinctMyasthenia Gravis – Associated Thymomas

Advances in CAR T cell therapy: antigen selection, modifications, and current trials for solid tumors

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has revolutionized the treatment of hematologic malignancies, achieving remarkable clinical success with FDA-approved therapies targeting CD19 and BCMA. However, the extension of these successe...

Invertebrate Ecological Immunology

Ecological immunology is a rapidly expanding field that examines the causes and consequences of variation in immune function in the context of evolution and of ecology. Millions of invertebrate species rely solely on innate immunity, compar...

Mcm5 mutation leads to silencing of Stat1-bcl2 which accelerating apoptosis of immature T lymphocytes with DNA damage

Abstract Mutation in genes involved in DNA replication continuously disrupt DNA replication and give rise to genomic instability, a critical driver of oncogenesis. To prevent leukemia, immature T lymphocytes with genomic instability often u...

Linker-specific monoclonal antibodies present a simple and reliable detection method for scFv-based CARNK cells

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapies have demonstrated significant successes in treating cancer. Currently, there are six approved CAR T cell products available on the market that target different malignancies of the B cell line...
