By contrast with the conventional heat transfer fluid (water), the microencapsulated phase
change material (MPCM) suspension, with a small temperature difference between storing …

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is characterized by insulin resistance and increased hepatic glucose
production, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying these abnormalities are poorly …

The flow and convective heat transfer behaviors of microencapsulated phase change material
(MPCM) slurries in a horizontal circular tube have been experimentally investigated. The …

Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily and is the primary
bile acid receptor. We previously showed that FXR was required for the promotion of liver …

Evaporative cooling is able to generate the cooling medium at a temperature approaching
to the ambient wet bulb temperature. In this paper, a low-energy air-conditioning strategy is …

Ten eleven translocation (TET) enzymes (TET1/TET2/TET3) and thymine DNA glycosylase (TDG)
play crucial roles in early embryonic and germ cell development by mediating DNA …

Due to its large apparent specific heat during the phase change period, microencapsulated
phase change material slurry (MPCMS) has been suggested as a medium for heat transfer. …

Brucellosis is a worldwide re-emerging zoonotic disease. It remains a serious public health
problem in many developing countries including China. This review summarizes the …

Human cancers often exhibit attenuated microRNA (miRNA) biogenesis and global
underexpression of miRNAs; thus, targeting the miRNA biogenesis pathway represents a novel …

Green tea polyphenols (GTPs) exhibit beneficial effects towards obesity and intestinal
inflammation; however, the mechanisms and association with gut microbiota are unclear. We …
