Background and aimLong term high-dose erythropoietin (EPO) had been reported inducing the formation of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in mice.When using this model, we found that EPO treated mice showed significant splenomegaly.This is an interesting phenomenon, and its mechanism has not been reported.Therefore, this study aims to explore its mech
The mammalian Transmembrane BAX Inhibitor Motif (TMBIM) protein family consists of six evolutionarily conserved hydrophobic proteins that affect programmed cell death and the regulation of intracellular calcium levels.The bacterial ortholog BsYetJ is a pH-dependent calcium channel.We here identified seven TMBIM family members in Drosophila melanoga

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), in particular multirotors, are becoming the de facto tool for aerial sensing and remote inspection.In large industrial facilities, a UAV can transmit an online video stream to inspect difficult-to-access structures, such as chimneys, deposits, and towers.However, the communication range is limited, constraining the
The abstract roller-compacted concrete (RCC) is a zero slump concrete comprising the same materials as that of conventional concrete with different proportions.The RCC must be compacted to reach its final form.The effects of hydration and aggregate interlock on its strength are considerable.For similar binder contents, the compressive strength of t
