ANGIOTENSIN-CONVERTING ENZYME 2 POTENTIATES SARS-COV-2 INFECTION BY ANTAGONIZING TYPE I INTERFERON INDUCTION AND ITS DOWN-STREAM SIGNALING PATHWAY

Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 Potentiates SARS-CoV-2 Infection by Antagonizing Type I Interferon Induction and Its Down-Stream Signaling Pathway

ABSTRACT The innate interferon (IFN) response constitutes the first line of host defense against viral infections.It has been shown that IFN-I/III treatment could effectively contain severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) replication in vitro.However, how SARS-CoV-2 survives through the innate antiviral mechanism remains to be

Parallel battery pack charging strategy under various ambient temperatures based on minimum lithium plating overpotential control

Summary: With the Teethers aggravation of environmental pollution and energy crisis, lithium-ion batteries are widely regarded as promising.However, the current distribution in the parallel battery pack branches is highly heterogeneous.Charging strategies based on the models can be adopted to prevent side reactions that may lead to severe degradati

Novel Piezoelectric Emergency Opening Sub-System to Improve the Safety and Reliability of Zero-Holding-Energy Permanent Magnet Magnetic Contactors

Conventional switchgear such as relays and magnetic contactors (MC) continuously consume energy to maintain an open and/or closed state, contributing to unnecessary energy consumption, dissipation, and heating.The minimization of such losses has become an Football - Shoes - Junior important topic in recent years, leading to the development of more

IMAGING OF FLUOROPHORES IN CHROMATOGRAPHIC BEADS, RECONSTRUCTION OF RADIAL DENSITY DISTRIBUTIONS AND CHARACTERISATION OF PROTEIN UPTAKING PROCESSES

A new adjustment calculus is presented to determine the true intraparticle distribution of bound protein within chromatographic beads from confocal fluorescence slice series.The calculus does not require knowledge about optical properties of different chromatographic materials like refractive index and turbidity, but it depends on a parameter which
