Systemic and Local CC Chemokines Production in a Murine Model of Listeria monocytogenes Infection by Marina Bubonja, Branka Wraber, Gordana Brumini, Ivana Gobin, Danijela Veljkovic, Maja Abram

“…The ratio of brain-to-serum concentration of monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) remained the same as in the control animals, while it was lower in the infected mice, both in the case MIP-1α and in the case of regulated on activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted (RANTES). This is in correlation with slight inflammatory infiltrates found in the brain tissue early in infection.…”

Revisiting the Zinc-Blende/Wurtzite Heterocrystalline Structure in CdS by Zhaohui Zhou, Mingtao Li, Po Wu, Liejin Guo

“…The partial charge densities of VBM and CBM states were separated around two adjacent interfaces in one unit cell of heterocrystalline superlattice. This type of carrier localization was mainly attributed to the spontaneous polarization occurring in the WZ segment rather than the band offset at the interface.…”
