Bacterial communities in biofilters can improve drinking water quality through the biodegradation of dissolved contaminants but also pose potential risks by harboring and shedding microbes into the drinking water distribution system. In this study, pilot-scale granular activated carbon (GAC)-sand and anthracite-sand pilot-scale biofilters were…[Read more]

Furthermore, Tim-3/Galectin-9 pathway contributes to the inducible immunomodulatory functions of osteosarcoma cells, which may provide a new clue to novel strategies for the osteosarcoma therapy.

We found that Galectin-9 is induced by IFNγ and TNFα stimuli in osteosarcoma cells. Furthermore, Tim-3/Galectin-9 pathway contributes to the i…[Read more]

Five day after Eimeria inoculation, inoculated PoultryStar-fed (I-PS) and inoculated Clinacox-fed (I-CL) poults, on average, weighed and gained significantly more weight (P less then 0.05) than inoculated controls (I-CON) and were similar to uninoculated treatments. Between day 21 and day 28, I-PS and I-CL poults showed a 23% improvement (P less…[Read more]

The association among the IgE responses to prevailing groups of house dust mite (HDM) allergens in the concurrent asthma phenotypes has not been determined.

The aim of the present study lays on a component-resolved diagnosis (CRD) model to investigate the mite molecular signature in subjects with type-2 inflammation asthma.

We…[Read more]
