The Roles of Siglec7 and Siglec9 on Natural Killer Cells in Virus Infection and Tumour Progression by Yayun Zheng, Xue Ma, Dongmei Su, Yue Zhang, Lin Yu, Fangfei Jiang, Xue Zhou, Ying Feng, Fang Ma

“…Previous studies have shown that Siglec7 and Siglec9 are expressed on NK cells, which negatively regulate the function of NK cells and modulate the immune response through the interaction of sialic acid-containing ligands. Siglec7 and Siglec9 are very similar in distribution, gene encoding, protein sequences, ligand affinity, and functions in regulating the immune system against virus and cancers, but differences still exist between them. …”

Isolation and function of a human endothelial cell C1q receptor by M. R. Daha, L. Dunn, R. van den Berg, Y. Muizert-de Lange, A. Gerritsen, L. A. van Es

“…Previously, the authors showed that C1q induces the binding of IgM-containing immune complexes to EC. Therefore, it was hypothesized that during a primary immune response generation of IgM-IC may occur, resulting in binding and activation of C1, dissociation of activated C1 by C1 inhibitor and subsequent interaction of IgM-IC bearing C1q with EC–C1qR.…”

The Strain energy density to estimate lifetime of notched components subjected to variable amplitude fatigue loading by Zheng Hu, Filippo Berto, Luca Susmel

“…The accuracy and reliability of the proposed reformulation of the SED approach was checked against a large number of data taken from the literature and generated, under two different load spectra, by testing specimens of carbon steel C40 containing notches of different sharpness. Such a validation exercise allowed us to demonstrate that the extension of the SED approach as proposed in the present paper is capable of accurately estimating fatigue damage in notched components subjected to inservice VA fatigue loading…”
