Platelet lifespan is regulated by intrinsic apoptosis.Platelet apoptosis can be triggered by BH3 mimetics that LEMON inhibit the pro-survival Bcl-2 family protein, Bcl-xL.Here, we investigated several small molecules that are reported to act as BH3 mimetics and compared their effects to the well-established BH3 mimetic, ABT-737.Platelet phosphatidy

An integrated thermal management system for an Standard Pillow electric vehicle requires a scroll compressor with a large displacement that runs under multiple working conditions and high loads.A design method for the scroll profile to enlarge compressor displacement was proposed.The geometric and thermodynamic characteristics of the novel scroll c

Renealmia is a tropical plant genus within the Zingiberaceae family.In tropical South America, Renealmia plants are known for their therapeutic uses against bone and muscle pain, colds, and to counteract snake bite symptoms.Despite the biomedical importance of Renealmia metabolites, the components of their essential oils (EO) have been scarcely stu

Abstract The low-dimensional, highly anisotropic geometries, and superior mechanical properties of one-dimensional (1D) nanomaterials allow the exquisite strain engineering with a broad tunability inaccessible to bulk or thin-film materials.Such capability enables unprecedented possibilities for probing intriguing physics and materials science in t

The cotton direct seeding after wheat (rape) harvested is under trial Standard Pillow and would be the future direction at the Yangtze River Valley region of China.The objective of this study was to quantify the effects of branch and stem architecture on cotton yield and identify the optimal cotton architecture to compensate the yield loss due to t
