Recent quality scandals reveal the importance of quality management from a supply chain
perspective. Although there has been many related studies focusing on supply chain quality …

Introduction Increasing evidence indicates that microRNAs (miRNAs) play a critical role in
the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases. The aim of the study was to investigate the …

Metastability-engineering, eg, transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP), can enhance the
ductility of alloys, however it often comes at the expense of relatively low yield strength. Here, …

The inflammatory microenvironment has been shown to play important roles in various stages
of tumor development including initiation, growth, and metastasis. The inflammasome is a …

Lightweight design strategies and advanced energy applications call for high-strength Al
alloys that can serve in the 300‒400 C temperature range. However, the present commercial …

Heightened effector function and prolonged persistence, the key attributes of Th1 and Th17
cells, respectively, are key features of potent anti-tumor T cells. Here, we established ex vivo …

The Qilian Shan, located along the northeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau, has experienced
multiple episodes of tectonic deformation, including Neoproterozoic continental breakup…

Background Fucoidan is a sulfated polysaccharide derived from brown algae that has been
reported to perform multiple biological activities, including antitumor activity. In this study, we …

Metabolic reprogramming greatly contributes to the regulation of macrophage activation.
However, the mechanism of lipid accumulation and the corresponding function in tumor-…

The activating/co-stimulatory receptor NKG2D (natural-killer group 2, member D) is
expressed on the surface of all human NK, NKT, CD8 + T, and subsets of γδ + T cells. The …
