Immune regulation is more effective in the U937 inflammation model with mesenchymal stem cell extracellular vesicles stimulated by pro-inflammatory cytokines by Canan Öztürk, Zehra S. Halbutoğullari

“…MSCs also exert immunoregulatory effects through extracellular vesicles (EVs), cell membrane structures that carry paracrine factors. It is thought that the mediators (cytokines, growth factors, etc.) secreted by stem cells change under inflammatory conditions, and the therapeutic activity of MSCs increases. …”

On the ionospheric response in the Taiwan region to Typhoon Meranti in September 2016 by Peng Chen, Mingzhu Xiong, Yibin Yao, Hao Chen, Fucai Tang, Liangcai Qiu, Yuchen Zhang

“…When the typhoon approached Taiwan region with high intensity on September 14, it was observed that the gravity waves caused by the typhoon had a wavelength of about 174–293 km, a period of 13.5–23.5 min, and a propagation speed of 142–302 m/s. When the vortex structure of a typhoon interacts with complex surfaces such as mountains, it is easier to excite more medium-scale gravity waves. …”

Mycorrhizal fungi mitigate cadmium leaching losses by decreasing the inorganic cadmium proportion in soil solutions by Wei Li, Jiong Wu, Jie Yan, Xinran Liang, Xiaoyi Li, Yongmei He, Bo Li, Fangdong Zhan

“…Moreover, AMF decreased the Cd concentration in the leachate by 36.0 %–76.3 % by reducing the proportion of Cd2 + and inorganic Cd complexes in the soil solution and leachate by 26.2 %–85.7 %, and increasing the proportion of organic Cd complexes. Structural equation analysis revealed that the GRSP and LMWOAs were the primary factors driving the potential of AMF to reduce Cd leaching loss from polluted soil. …”
