Expression of macrophage CD14 receptor in the course of experimental inflammatory responses induced by lipopolysaccharide and muramyl dipeptide

The aim of this study was to determine whether expression of CD14 on macrophages is regulated differently during initiation and resolution of the inflammatory response caused by CD14-dependent (lipopolysaccharide) and CD14-independent (muramyldipeptide) bacterial signals.In cell suspensions from the site of inflammation we observed two types of mac

Dimensionless unified modelling of macroscale electric properties of conductive fibre networks in different regimes

Essential Fatty Acids The electric properties of conductive fibre networks, which can be representative of carbon nanotube networks, are investigated by means of numerical simulations and a dimensionless unified macroscale model is developed.Fibres are represented as rigid chains of discrete element method particles and we compress systems of fibre
