Thermal and chemical pretreatment of Ebenaeae Diospyros preusii seed for enhanced adsorptive removal of aqueous-bound Cr(VI) by H. O. Abugu, C. E. Ikwelle, O. A. Odewole, A. Lawal, A. M. Olaleye, I. A. Ucheana, J. C. Okenwa, J. C. Egbueri

“…From the isotherm plots, Langmuir model best described the process of removal of the Cr(VI) from the aqueous solution with determination coefficient (R2) value of 0.991 which showed that Cr(VI) adsorption unto the adsorbent followed physisorption mechanism. From the kinetic studies, it was concluded that the pseudo-second order most appropriately explained the adsorption process indicating chemisorption. …”

Staphylococcus aureus host cell invasion and virulence in sepsis is facilitated by the multiple repeats within FnBPA. by Andrew M Edwards, Jennifer R Potts, Elisabet Josefsson, Ruth C Massey

“…In addition, multiple FnBRs increased the speed of internalization, as did higher expression levels of FnBPA, without altering the uptake mechanism. The relevance of these findings to pathogenesis was demonstrated using a murine sepsis model, which showed that multiple FnBRs were required for virulence. …”

Collagen deposition in lung parenchyma driven by depletion of interstitial Lyve-1+ macrophages prevents cigarette smoke-induced emphysema and loss of airway function by Yinebeb Mezgebu Dagnachew, Yinebeb Mezgebu Dagnachew, Yinebeb Mezgebu Dagnachew, Hwee Ying Lim, Hwee Ying Lim, Liao Wupeng, Liao Wupeng, Sheau Yng Lim, Sheau Yng Lim, Sheng Jie Natalie Lim, Sheng Jie Natalie Lim, Chung Hwee Thiam, Chung Hwee Thiam, Shu Wen Tan, Shu Wen Tan, Joan Lau Joo Eng, Joan Lau Joo Eng, Dan Mei, Syaza Hazwany Mohammad Azhar, Wei Siong Ong, Qi Hui Caris Tan, Wai-Shiu Fred Wong, Wai-Shiu Fred Wong, Wai-Shiu Fred Wong, Veronique Angeli, Veronique Angeli

“…However, the cellular mechanisms driving collagen remodeling and the functional implications of this process in the pathophysiology of pulmonary diseases remain poorly understood.MethodsTo address this question, we employed Lyve1wt/cre; Csf1rflox/flox mice with specific depletion of Lyve-1+ macrophages and assessed the content, types and organization of collagen in lung compartments at steady state and after chronic exposure to cigarette smoke (CS).ResultsUsing this mouse model, we found that the absence of this subpopulation of tissue resident macrophage led to the deposition of type I collagen fibers around the alveoli and bronchi at steady state. …”
