Interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R) signaling regulates tolerance and immunity. Here, we review
recent work concerning the structure, signaling, and function of the IL-2R, emphasizing the …

COVID-19, an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, was declared a
pandemic by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in March 2020. By mid-August 2020 …

Studies have shown that infection, excessive coagulation, cytokine storm, leukopenia,
lymphopenia, hypoxemia and oxidative stress have also been observed in critically ill …

Severe COVID-19 patients develop acute respiratory distress syndrome that may progress to
cytokine storm syndrome, organ dysfunction, and death. Considering that neutrophil …

Severe cases of COVID-19 are characterized by a strong inflammatory process that may
ultimately lead to organ failure and patient death. The NLRP3 inflammasome is a molecular …

An experimental investigation of the flow around surface-mounted cubes in both uniform,
irrotational and sheared, turbulent flows is described. The shear flow was a simulated …

This paper describes a new food classification which assigns foodstuffs according to the
extent and purpose of the industrial processing applied to them. Three main groups are …

In this study, comprehensive measurements over a number of urban-type surfaces with the
same area density of 25% have been performed in a wind tunnel. The experiments were …

Grazing represents the most extensive use of land worldwide. Yet its impacts on ecosystem
services remain uncertain because pervasive interactions between grazing pressure …

Direct numerical simulations of turbulent flow over regular arrays of urban-like, cubical
obstacles are reported. Results are analysed in terms of a formal spatial averaging …
