Open AccessIndian Ocean corals reveal crucial role of World War II bias for twentieth century warming estimates
The western Indian Ocean has been warming faster than any other tropical ocean during the 20th century, and is the largest contributor to the global mean sea surface temperature (SST) rise. However, the temporal ...

Coupled PIC-DSMC Simulations of a Laser-Driven Plasma Expansion
In the field of material processing or spacecraft propulsion, laser ablation is used to remove material from a solid surface with a laser beam. The numerical study of this process has been directed towards dir...

Extracorporeal photopheresis increases neutrophilic myeloid-derived suppressor cells in patients with GvHD
Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) is beneficial in patients with T-cell-mediated disorders, including GvHD, but the underlying immunological mechanisms are incompletely understood. Myeloid-derived suppressor ...

Increased osteoblast and osteoclast indices in individuals with systemic mastocytosis
Indolent systemic mastocytosis (ISM) can trigger bone loss. However, the clinical relevance of different mast cell infiltration patterns for bone remains to be clarified. Here, we report increased bone turnove...

Studies of pear-shaped nuclei using accelerated radioactive beams
There is strong circumstantial evidence that certain heavy, unstable atomic nuclei are ‘octupole deformed’, that is, distorted into a pear shape. This contrasts with the more prevalent rugby-ball shape of nucl...

Injection of a polymerized hyaluronic acid/collagen hydrogel matrix in an in vivo porcine disc degeneration model
Disc degeneration and re-herniation after nucleotomy procedures are common problems. Simultaneous application of hyaluronic acid (HA)-based matrix has been proposed to limit disc degeneration. This, however, i...
